[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8896184, member: 6987520"] D&D and RPGs have experienced the popularity surge, certainly, but it is already done and out there--it is more mainstream than 20+ years ago. New generations are being taught by older players. Many of my friends who had kids taught their kids, and I hear all the time about other parents doing the same, teachers, school programs, etc. Back in the 70-80's growing up there weren't really a lot of people out there to lead the way. I'm lucky my older cousin was into it, and got me and a friend started. Then we started our friends, and so forth. Now, at nearly 50, I am teaching a group of 25ish year-olds. D&D is Role-playing to many people. I severely doubt long term we will see a change in what folks play. 3PP and others will realize the value in continuing to use the D&D brand and will do what they must to keep using it. WotC won't feel the pinch unless a [I]new[/I] RPG comes out which replaces it as "King of the Hill." [/QUOTE]
