[QUOTE="Mercador, post: 7779307, member: 6968562"] I guess we are around the same age then (almost 42 here). Here's my assumption; I think nerds (not popular) became geeks (popular) because in the pre-internet ages (oh my god, I can't believe I'm that old already..), only nerds could know how a computer would work. Now, everything needs Internet. Being geek (nerd) is cool now and geeks play TTRPG. It might be that our generation got their freetime back with kids growing and we want to get back to our fondest memories of TTRPG, thus, DnD, but we aren't the industry backbone anymore, the 18-25 is and they like DnD5E. As far as I know, it's easier to play and this generation don't have the time (nor the focus) needed to learn the 3.5/PF rules. Even if Paizo thinks it could make a ADnD with PF2, I don't think it will work unfortunately. That being said, I really hope that I'm wrong because we really need competition. In a world where WotC is totally dominant, the consumer will suffer. I don't think so, but that's only on my observation. Here in Quebec City, there's a big hobby shop called Imaginaire where they sell pretty much everything TTRPG related, I'm pretty sure it's the biggest in eastern Canada as I didn't even find a store that big in Toronto. They have bookshelves of TTRPG stuff, DnD5 and PF1 are almost equally covered (tens of books each) but only one or two Starfinder books. There's ten times more books of Star Wars stuff. There's more books of Adventures in the Middle Earth or other 5E supplements. In my book, Starfinder could have been a PF1 scifi crossover and it would have been more succesful. [/QUOTE]
