The idea being that at first a few people know about it, but gradually more and more people do, and it's really popular, and then the population of people who enjoy/perform/do whatever it is gets smaller and smaller and goes to back to a few people or no one as fans, or whatever. It's used a lot to show social trends in archaeology and anthropology. But anyway,I don't know too much, but I'd imagine it was probably more popular with more people back in the day. Now it may be more niche or whatever. Especially since there's no cartoon or anything directly aimed at children, who I think D&D is excellent for. They should really make D&D themed action figures. I know that I would buy a mindflayer and a beholder or two.But now I'm off topic.EDITHow do we definite "player?" I'd say a player is anyone who plays the game for whatever reason. If they're not currently playing (or buying, I suppose) Dungeons and Dragons, then they are not D&D players.</blockquote>
