The current age - "Silver Age" is a fair designation, I guess - I regard as having begun in roughly 2000.If you want specific dates, I'll say 1980 to 1995 for the Golden Age, then a five-year interregnum marked by the collapse of TSR and a general overall decline, and 2000 to present for the Silver Age.In many respects, actually, the early '90s were the height of the Golden Age. TSR spent the '80s building up a (relatively) huge customer base, and then spent the '90s in a death spiral, thus creating a space in which other RPGs could flourish, even if only temporarily. At the same time, TSR in its desperation was generating all kinds of new properties. Most of these were crap, but there were several diamonds in the rough.Is FATE commercially successful then? I thought it was more in the indie line, but I may be wrong.</blockquote>
