[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 5344410, member: 10479"] That's the sense I always had of that. I wonder if a poll here in general regarding whether someone came at AD&D 1E from "the B" would find that to be true, as well. Or would it find that most that started with "the B" continued with the BECMI? What would be the best way to word it? Anyway, this thread continues to suggest to me that people who already play the current edition feel the red box will bring in new players, sometimes via older players, and people who don't play or like the current edition seem to be saying they aren't interested. We'll have a good sense of the truth of it after it has been out for three months. People should ask the managers of local Target stores how they are selling, as well as the larger gamestores, after they have been on the shelf for a while. If we get a few dozen reports back that are all one way or the other, we'll probably have a good sense of it. [/QUOTE]
