[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5345929, member: 957"] I think your * is very important. And, beyond the pluses and minuses, I think you are over-rating the importance of simple brand recognition. I agree it is important, but it is far from a do or die situation. Dominant brands are over-taken all the time. I don't think this assessment is accurate. I agree that converting non-gamers to gamers is very difficult. Hell, I've made the point before that not everyone is a potential gamer. Some who has never heard of gaming can be a potential gamer or no-chance whatsoever, just based on their personality. But, that aside, the idea that only lapsed D&D players are prospective PF players is just way off base. In my game alone I've picked up three new players this year. They are all gamers, but none of them were D&D fans, but all three are now raving about Pathfinder. Sure, it is a personal anecdote, but three in one group seems like a wild statistical anomaly. Or, perhaps your presumption is just way off. Your are basing your position on the presumption that one unchanging name brand beacon is of critical importance. That is just wrong. [/QUOTE]
