[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5762514, member: 59506"] I'm betting there would be an explosion of 4E houserules and 4E adaptations/clones on the internet. Pathfinder would become defacto D&D. And Paizo would probably create a 4E'esque game to run concurrently with Pathfinder. People would play RPG's just as they have been playing RPG's. New gamers would come into the game as introduced by other players (which is the predominant way new gamers still come into the game even today). Don't know if the overall gaming community would hold steady in numbers or slowly decline (50/50), or even increase (but I doubt it). Games other than D&D and Pathfinder may see a surge, or may not. Depends on whether the communities numbers holds steady or declines. The demise of FLGS's is hastened even more than it is now. The Hobby would become an even more obscure and fringe hobby compared to the mainstream. Within 5 years, people will be saying "You play D&D...?!?" "I thought that fad died out decades ago..." :( [/QUOTE]
