[QUOTE="Jeff Wilder, post: 5146061, member: 5122"] "Per buyer," that's definitely true. In absolute volume, though, RPGer DDM purchasers swamped out "pure" DDMers. (IME, many, maybe most, DDMers were also RPGers.) In most situations like this, that might be true. In this particular situation, WotC was ramping up toward the release of 4E, and wanted the skirmish game and the RPG to use the same rules. DDM players had the first play experience with 4E's combat rules. Again, as a fairly hardcore DDM player, IMO the game was still healthy immediately prior to 2.0's release. It wasn't at its peak, for reasons mentioned upthread, but we were still getting tournaments together pretty easily. That changed pretty fast after DDM 2.0 was released; as far as I'm aware, there hasn't been a tournament or organized DDM league day in the Bay Area (once a hotbed of DDM hardcore players) in many months.
