Our game, which consisted of people I've known for over ten years, is irrevocably dissolved---because most of them would rather play MMORPGs. (and before some of you blame the DM, we had a 'rotating GM/rotating game' system in place. So I guess we had three DM's who just plain sucked, right?)Bottom line is, they prefer get the instant gratification of City of Heroes or World of Warcraft over the 'manual labor' inherent in tabletop role-playing. That's a direct quote from two of my friends who have abandoned tabletop play.That's 6 people no longer buying RPG books, and I'm only tangentically involved in the hobby via this board. Also, I bought my twelve-year old nephew the D&D Basic Set for Christmas, and I  played with him and his friends for hours. They'd rather play GTA or FABLE. Okay, let's get those heads back in those holes. I'm done.</blockquote>
