[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 8304071, member: 7026617"] Well, this can't be but speculative, but there's a certain rising-tide-lifts-all-boats element here. 5e absolutely did bring more people into the hobby, and without getting into the question of what numbers are present with this, some people are liable to either hop over to non-D&D games, or combine their continued play of 5e with other games. Since this new part is probably prone to being a younger demographic, a bigger than prior part of that is liable to be aware of Kickstarters, and thus look a them when they pop up. As someone said, while there's been some tendency for new games to pop up with 5e mechanics (including a few cases where its hard to see any D&D style mechanics being a great choice) but it hasn't been the 3e era style "Everything is D20 based and nobody can bother to do anything else" so it hasn't choked the market, and on the whole, has [I]probably[/I] been good for it.
