That's my feeling as well.They already have the core of people who'll buy the current D&D because it's what's current. We know that's not enough for them to function long-term.So they need to convince enough OD&D, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Pathfinder players that Next is better to make up for the loss of 4e players... and, beyond that, get the line up to the numbers they want.Whether there are enough OD&D, 1st, and 2nd players to make up the difference is an interesting question, but a lot of them aren't budging. Now, 3rd players might come over, wanting D&D but not 4e. I'd be in this boat (or the OD&D/OSR boat) if Pathfinder hadn't come out.Pathfinder players are a whole different ball of wax. I'm sure some will move over, but challenging another company (particularly a company perceived as friendlier) where they're strongest is a dicey proposition.I just don't see how those numbers add up, honestly. It seems far more important to focus outside the old player base, getting new DMs DMing for new groups.Cheers!Kinak</blockquote>
