[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 8782813, member: 6799660"] I think I'll jump in again before we jump further headlong down that rabbit hole and plead (again, not as a mod, just someone voicing a preference) with people to remember that the sales data tangent isn't the primary topic, and if this thread is to be hijacked by relitigating it once again to please at least have some overarching point you feel those numbers show and explain what that is. We've been over this so many times and after people go AD&D vs BX/BECMI or 4E vs 3E or PHB vs total books or initial run vs lifespan or 5e vs anything before, people tend to leave of the, 'and from that, I believe that ______ {some specific point}. I have to say, I haven't heard many people suggesting that it was the OSR that did in 3e. Prevailing wisdom, so far as I've experienced, has been that it just lurched to a close as more and more expansions sold worse and worse mostly because people already had more books than they used. For the English language to appropriate a word from another language but not replicate the pronunciation would be rather quixotic, wouldn't it? And the flinds did reference wind, settling that particular question not at all. [/QUOTE]
