[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8899967, member: 18"] That sounds a lot more a lifestyle issue than anything else. I don't mean that in a mean way, but most people have periods in their lives when the practical difficulties of organising RPGs are more or less significant. On the other hand, I've never seen an edition change wipe out a group. Either they go with the new edition or they don't, tends to be the reaction. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I don't think it's common. Similarly with RPG changes - the only times I've seen those go wrong are when the DM is the only person who wants to change, and he wants to change to something totally different in style and clunk-as-heck in mechanics. I do think 5E will lose some people over time (more with this idiocy disenchanting people re: D&D), because the huge bulk of 5E's players are in 15-29 age range, which is the easiest range to play D&D in until you get into what, your mid-40s or later? As more and more of those people hit their 30s, where they're having to deal with kids and so on, but where those kids are far too young to play RPGs with, I think there will be a dip. [/QUOTE]
