Message: <blockquote data-quote="shoak1" data-source="post: 7176285" data-attributes="member: 54380">I had suggested that D and D 5e is a much smaller fraction of the market share of GAMES (not just RPGs) than say 2e was.  I had suggested further that 5e has done better in total sales than 4e (but much worse than 3/3.5) because the rpgers came back - NOT because of their success at attracting the GAMISTS.  I had suggested further that 5e will suffer a long slow death if it fails to reach out into the GAMISTS that dominate gaming across most genres.  I base these assertions not just on strong anecdotal evidence (how many people I run into that play D and D), but on gaming conventions attendance, game store playing, space dedicated in game stores/book stores to the game, online buzz, the frequency of new products of the game coming out, and number of new blood postings in these forums.</blockquote>
