Message: <blockquote data-quote="Porridge" data-source="post: 7984164" data-attributes="member: 7020143">Since Fantasy Grounds does a much better job of supporting PF (both editions) than Roll20, I think their quarterly release information (<a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/fantasy-grounds-stats-show-massive-pandemic-bump.671486/unread" target="_blank">which Morrus helpfully posted here</a>) is probably a more accurate guide to PF trends. One interesting thing regarding the Fantasy Grounds data is that it suggests #5 is only half true. It does look like the release of PF2 didn't do much to decrease PF1 game sessions -- they only decreased by about 20%*. So that's a point in favor of thinking that a lot of PF1 players haven't converted to PF2, as #5 says.That said, the total PF pie (PF1+PF2 combined) grew a fair bit with the release of PF2 -- the total pie increased by about 40%*. That suggests that PF2 drew in a bunch of players from somewhere. And if they didn't come from PF1 (as the first bit of data suggests), then they must have come from other TTRPGs and people new to TTRPGs. [SPOILER="*"](These estimates exclude the month of PF2's release, which gave PF2 a non-representative "new game" bump, and exclude the crazy March bump, which would throw off all the numbers.)[/SPOILER]Is that right? If so, that's good to know (and somewhat disappointing). I would think total hours played is the most interesting statistic. And it's a shame they're not tracking that.(It looks like the Fantasy Grounds data is counting "number of game sessions", which is better.)</blockquote>
