[QUOTE="CasvalRemDeikun, post: 4880290, member: 83969"] Well, we had the following: 2008 - PHB1 (8) + FRPG (2) = 10 2009 - PHB2 (5) + EPG (3) = 8 2010 - PHB3 (4) + Setting (x) = 4+x From 2008 to 2009, we saw a 37.5% drop in PHB races, and a 50% increase in PG races, and a 20% reduction in total races.
