[QUOTE="Jeff Wilder, post: 4407790, member: 5122"] Me, but I don't at all disagree with your overall point. (I started playing D&D, having somehow never even heard of it, as a kid in '81 or so who found the Expert Set rulebook on a schoolbus.) I've never known of anyone else who started playing D&D without having been introduced to it first. And, expanding on this, I know of very few players who play the game, but aren't interested enough to have been exposed to, e.g., Paizo, if only via the Internet. And of the two I do know, neither owns a single D&D product, so it's not like there's an issue of who's getting their gaming dollars. Paizo, Necromancer, and Green Ronin won't get their money ... but neither will (or has) WotC. In short, I think many people -- some of them even Pathfinder supporters -- are seriously underestimating just how much Pathfinder can penetrate the market. [/QUOTE]
