We're the extremists in a hobby full of casual gamers.  That said, I think the RPGA is representative of the D&D community that shows up at conventions.At every game convention I've attended in the past four years (except WinterCon, which was mostly a wargamer con), the RPGA has had the overwhelming share of D&D activity. (Which was not necessarily the case when I joined in the 1980s; I had to struggle to get people interested in RPGA games at conventions I volunteered for.)Unless everybody outside my Michigan/Ohio/Indiana turf is seeing something radically different, I'm going with the theory that RPGA D&D is most of the D&D being played at game conventions these days.</blockquote>
