[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8644435, member: 67338"] there used to be a show on History called "man machine moment" and it was basically a theory that you needed all three of: the person with the idea, the technology to do it well, and the right timing for inventions to take off... I know in an episode of it or a related show someone showed when the first (mechanical) computers were made and that there were people who had a rudimentary knowledge of magnetism, and others with rudimentary know of electricity... basically all you need to make a pretty modern computer. IF it had all come together than, and advanced as it did post WW2 Shakespeare would have been writing on laptops or tablets more advanced than any of us have. I said all that to say that we had a great growth... but it wasn't JUST the edition, there are alot of other factors. It might keep growing until D&D is as popular as video games. Or it might end at anytime. Without a high level diviner we just don't know [/QUOTE]
