You can quote me on that (as John Miller did in that National Review piece).How do we know that? Well, the truth is, TSR didn't leave us a lot of market research data--we don't know how many people played D&D in the 80s (and, frankly, TSR probably didn't either, although they made some claims).But we do have good sales data for the entire history of D&D, and we know that we sell more core books now than ever.There's some wiggle room in the analysis, of course--no analysis is perfect, when you're comparing different types of data from different sources. But with a very close look at the information available, we're very confident that D&D is currently enjoying its biggest audience to date--and that the audience continues to grow!</blockquote>
