[QUOTE="raniE, post: 8899970, member: 6950907"] I’ve seen lots of things wipe gaming groups, and almost every time, some of the members didn’t come back, at least not for a time. There’s always other things to do, you have to really prioritize RPGs to play them, and that calculation can change in an instant when something changes, like a certain person leaving the game, getting news that WorC is evil etc. I think the edition change will have a larger impact on D&D this time because a lot of the new players don’t expect it and won’t know how to roll with it, but more importantly because of the emphasis on online tools. If it’s all “wait, we play with D&D Beyond and now it’s saying I need to buy this new book to play, what the hell?” Then yeah, that’s going to lose some players. People who play at a table with books? Less affected by far. And people who just don’t want to play D&D anymore because of the current issues can just walk away, especially if they were never die-hards. [/QUOTE]
