However, the RPGA organizers at DragonCon stated that the trend seems to be going over more to the home games at this point. They cited a number of reasons, the economy being one of them. Obviously, going to a convention is expensive. However, they also stated that people are simply skewing further in that direction naturally. From my completely armchair perspective, what this would indicate to me would be a case of, "Hey, I found a group I like. I'm going to go home and game with them." Back at the advent of 3rd Edition, there was this massive buzz and many people either came into the hobby or returned to the hobby. So there was a need to find other people to play with.In terms of penetration, 4th Edition clearly penetrated the DragonCon crowd very well. There were a fair number of 4th Edition games last year at D*C. However, the word about them at the time was fairly negative. One comment that stuck out in my mind was a lack of any role-playing in the demo module that was run for a table.</blockquote>
