[QUOTE="d4, post: 1463604, member: 12699"] here's some more anecdotal evidence. ;) my first D&D 3e game (started a few months after the core books came out in 2000) had myself, a rabid GURPShead who hadn't touched anything D&D since 1985; two people who stopped playing AD&D and RPGs in general about 5 or 10 years earlier, one person migrating over from Palladium, one ex-White Wolfer who hadn't gamed in several years, and three people who had never played any RPGs before. my second D&D 3e game had me, three people who converted to d20 from AD&D2e, and three people who had never played any RPGs before. my third D&D 3e game had me, two people from the second game, two more people who converted over from AD&D2e, one former L5R d10 player, and two people who had never played any RPGs before. between those three groups, we have: * 3 people converting to d20 from other systems * 3 people coming back to RPGs after years of not gaming * 8 people who had never gamed before * 5 people converting to d20 from AD&D2e only 5 out of 19 people who came directly from one edition of D&D to the next. the rest of us are either converts from non-D&D, non-d20 systems; coming back to gaming; or brand-new players. i'd say that's a pretty good track record for d20, at least in my experience. i think it'd be fair to say that i'm starting to feel burned out on [i]Dungeons & Dragons[/i] right now. [i]not[/i] on d20 though. my favorite games right now, that i'm either currently playing in or dying to play are d20 Modern, Mutants & Masterminds, and Star Wars d20. the only non-d20 game that i have a strong itch to play is Savage Worlds. i'm interested in taking a look at GURPS 4e, but i doubt i'll ever switch back to it.
