[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9234936, member: 177"] The problem with the question is that we don't know how well they do now. We don't have a clear measure of "success". My first experience in RPGs was with Tunnels & Trolls. So, for me, picking up 1e was already learning and playing a new system. When Marvel Super Heroes came out, we played that. When Shadowrun came out, we played that. We tried Twilight 2000 and several other games that didn't really stick. In college, I played both d6 Star Wars and D&D. In grad school I played White Wolf and ran and played D&D. After grad school I have run multi-year campaigns of Classic Deadlands, Ashen Stars, and D&D. Over the pandemic I have played Fate Accelerated and D&D. And I'm about to see if I can get a group of folks together to play Old Gods of Appalachia. I have never been a one-system player. I pick up new systems at the drop of a hat. That remains to be seen. How willing are casual computer gamers to play on a different platform? WotC has, what, 1500 employees? A web search tells me Paizo has 125 employees? I expect MCDM, Kobold Press, Evil Hat, Monte Cook, Pinnacle Entertainment Group, and others are more like a couple dozen or less each? None of these are "big" companies. [/QUOTE]
