[QUOTE="Nymrohd, post: 4960697, member: 59126"] I do think that the Pen n Paper market base is subject to aging. It is progressively harder to attract the younger customers who expect the ease of use computerised versions offer and often are not so excited about the more directly personal aspect of Pen n Paper games. The fact that our community is very opinionated about what we like and don't like and so tend to splinter into subgroups has probably already fractured the market extensively (forget the recent edition wars, every edition change in any RPG I know has created splinter groups who stick to former editions for a variety of reasons). An ever diminishing, ever fracturing market will eventually stop being a worthwhile market and many companies will not really be sustainable. Honesly I think that a virtual game table that can provide ease of use would be one of the best ways for D&D to improve their market base. But honestly even though it was promised I do not see it happening any time soon. [/QUOTE]
