[QUOTE="Wolfpack48, post: 9286576, member: 6872648"] I think most tabletop players are still SF fans (you almost have to be to like orcs and elves, lol), though there be more niches today with all the different TV shows, movies and books -- I'm guessing there may have been more book readers back in the day. Wargamers are probably much fewer, though there are probably a lot of general boardgamers in there -- boardgames still very popular among our crew. I think what we've seen is more siloing (and not just in TTRPGs, but in society in general), with perhaps fewer people willing to get out of their comfort zone. That said, our ad in the game store got good response -- it may just be a willingness to extend the explanation and expectation of the game and talking more about the campaign theme than the system itself -- perhaps that helped break through the hesitance. I was upfront about RuneQuest Glorantha being the backdrop and gave quite a bit of flavor about where we'd be adventuring (Pavis and the Big Rubble). [/QUOTE]
