[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8006959, member: 6855114"] Iam not surprised to see 1ed coming on on top. It was long lasting and survived well onto the second edition era. It took third edition to see 1ed decline. The main reason was, maybe, that 2ed was too close to 1ed to move older gamers. Younger ones had jumped onboard the 2ed boat quickly, but a lot of the gamers older than me by about 5 to 10 years refused to have anything to do with 2ed. It took 3ed to see them coming back at the store and our weekly games (some had Friday night videos and MtG, we had Friday night dungeons...). For them, 3ed was different enough to warrant a change of game. At that time, I was coaching young DMs and seeing these old friends coming was a great joy. The younger DMs were so impressed by the stories of these older players that some tried 1ed and loved it. Whereas those that tried 2ed were not so impressed. All your data confirm what I had experienced. And yet, the 4ed dislike that raged did not touched my gaming area. The great majority loved it. We must be the exception confirming the rule. On a final note. I really love 5ed. This is the first edition where I do appreciate all that is coming out so far (save the Rick ann Morty. Iam clearly not the targeted audience). [/QUOTE]
