How many of the guys & gals we gamed with years ago are still playing? I can't answer that question since I am not currently in contact with any of my high school gamer friends. The one whom I did recently chat with briefly no longer games at all. Of the 9 people I game with currently, only 2 besides myself have been at it for more than 5 years.So, if the old guard has chosen not to move to the new game, will the newer, younger generation that is often stereotyped for it's short attention span stay with it? Maybe they will. Maybe the gamble will pay off and 4e will be the WoW of tabletop RPGs. (I use the comparison only in terms of success, so put down the torches.) Or it could turn out to be more like Vanguard, look good as hell out of the gate, but ultimately bomb. And of course there is plenty of room between the two extremes.</blockquote>
