[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 6599871, member: 18182"] I'm actually pretty sure the evidence is showing a resurgence in the tabletop RPG market, that has followed along with the resurgence in tabletop games overall (board games, card games, dice games, and RPGs). I do think print is dying, although certainly not dead (it's going to be a slow death). After ebooks took off, print has seen a bit of a resurgence due to consumer backlash . . . . but I agree that "dead tree" products are eventually going to be a thing of the past. But that doesn't equate to tabletop games dying. Tabletop offers something that digital just can't (at least, not yet), and more and more folks are beginning to appreciate that (or returning to it). And tabletop games can be produced without dead tree products, just look at drivethrurpg.com! Tabletop RPGs are certainly changing . . . how much of that is a contraction or just a realization that older business models weren't ideal, I don't know . . . [/QUOTE]
