But if you go back to <a href="https://www.rpg.net/columns/advanced-designers-and-dragons/advanced-designers-and-dragons26.phtml" target="_blank">2019</a>, you can see that most 5E Kickstarters were not making nearly that much. It's only been recently that we've seen more consistently-high Kickstarter hauls, and that travels across the entire industry. Look at Delta Green: the original kickstarted for $360K in late 2015, then got a set of books for The Labyrinth for $150K in 2018. While I know the original books are popular, when they kickstarted The Conspiracy in 2021, it goes for $510K. Clearly during the pandemic people just became interested in RPGs, and I think we should not just associate such growth with just 5E, nor should we think that them losing market share will cause the market itself to collapse.</blockquote>
