However, it is important to remember that people like us, who spend huge amounts of time hashing over the game while not playing the game, are a minority. Forumites are what, half a percent of TTRPG gamers maybe (I know, hard stats on something like that is going to be impossible). I think HM's people thought TSR died of people playing other things notion is probably more widely held amongst the wider world of D&D-playing people. Those that probably could come up with TSR as the company that came before WotC for D&D by themselves, That probably remember the name Gary Gygax when you bring it up ('didn't he have a cameo on Futurama?'), and have no idea who Lorraine Williams or the Blumes are. I certainly know that in the 90s, there were a lot of people in my local circles who thought White Wolf and Magic: the Gathering were who/what were to blame for D&D's decline. That said, are these the kind of people who are the target audience for a D&D/TSR history book?</blockquote>
