[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8980546, member: 23751"] Then it's probably a good thing that I'm not doing that. I'm calling it a Red Herring because it's nothing more than an irrelevant distraction from the point. Nope. I'm not actually speaking for any group, even my own. I'm just pointing out who has the vast majority disposable income. I couldn't find an actual survey, just a bunch of articles. Can you provide the link? Sure it's enough........................if you ignore all of the higher priority stuff teens like to buy and spend money on. It wasn't an argument. It was an observation. If you are working for it by doing chores, it's not an allowance. It doesn't change the fact that you get the same money either way. I don't think that we are average. But it doesn't take very much to have $500+ a month in disposable income. It's just that most people put that income into streaming services and other subscriptions and/or fast food purchases, and end up with a far lower number to spend on other things like D&D That is bizarre. Reminds me a lot of the out of touch politicians and insanely wealthy people. Some of the things they say are pretty ridiculous. It's not irrelevant. It was to point out that with a bunch of competing priorities that pretty much every teenager has, $120 isn't going to go very far and D&D isn't likely to that high on most lists. Right. They will recruit people as they age into having the disposable income to spend on D&D. Then those they recruit will do the same. And over time the game will likely shift substantially as the company aims at those who are spending the money. How does "Has a lot of overlap" = "Is the same?" I'm curious as to how you got from one to the other. I'd like a setting that's an actual setting and not the Spelljammer fiasco. I'd also like books with some real crunch in them, not a bunch of lore and a few new backgrounds, a few new spells, etc. Crappy settings and a bunch of campaign adventure books aren't going to do it.
