[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8686332, member: 19857"] I strongly doubt it. Because the people I played with never bought any games themselves - I was always teaching games to people and they'd be using my books. By 1997 even people I'd taught to play D&D were saying "can't we play something less confusing" when I'd ask about it. They would rather play Torg or Vampire than D&D because both of those systems were consistent and "made sense" to them. And even folks who played D&D before I got to them and taught them other games - after they learned other games they never wanted to go back to D&D. There was just something in the water around me over those years. Did a whole lot of roleplaying, but nobody wanted to touch D&D. But some of those same folks became voracious 3e players once the new edition dropped. Because it was a system that was consistent and "made sense" to them. [/QUOTE]
