[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9335566, member: 59816"] Lots. I have no idea what the actual numbers would be, but I would only characterize about a third of my D&D sales coming from regulars. Much of my D&D "Core" long-tail sales are from people who I don't know and may or may not see again. We sell a lot of dice to irregular walk-ins too, who may get their books either on DDB or ordered on Amazon, etc. I doubt that, actually. I expect that most of my customers use a mix of both. I mean, [I]I[/I] personally own all the books on DDB as well as in print. I like to sit and read "real" D&D books in bed, but I like to cut-and-paste my prep from DDB. I make my characters with Word, generally and print them out. I don't like DDB at the table in F2F games, but I play PBP here too, which I use DDB for. It's a mix. Much like people who read Digital Comics and Print Comics (there's WAY more of a crossover between those two groups than people think). Also, I have players in my store that make their characters on Beyond, but print them (too bad their printed sheets kind of suck). They still buy books. And like I said above, I suspect that a lot of people who buy dice, minis, and paints might get their books on DDB. [/QUOTE]
