I know 1 person with a DND Beyond account. That person isn't me. I currently play in 2-3 games a week and I don't have an account. I don't think much of the player base has a Beyond account.Edit: even ignoring all the adults I know that play. My kid’s school dnd club has 6 groups, let’s say 30 kids altogether. None of them own any books or have beyond accounts. All the groups start the borderlands starter sets this week. Those were purchased by a few adults.At the community centre my son plays at weekly they have 6 groups over two nights. And those groups are big, but all the supplies are provided by adults that run those groups for the kids. Again none of them beyond accounts.All of these kids are fans and avid players, but not current purchasers. My kid did buy a dice tray but otherwise just uses my books as needed. I did buy him the borderlands starter set to run for his group at school.To me D&D scene is way bigger than it was when I was kid playing in the late 80’s and 90’s. I struggled to find people to play with. Now every school in the city has clubs running multiple groups, all the community youth centres run games multiple nights, I’m in 3 games, and I know of a adult club in my small city with adults averages between 50-60 people.All anecdotal I know, but now that I think about it the size of the player base in my small city is astounding… especially compared to how hard it was to find a game in my youth.Truly living in a golden age.</blockquote>
