[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6685370, member: 37579"] I in no way meant people who don't visit ENWorld are not dedicated fans. People you see at conventions can absolutely be as dedicated. They're going to a flipping convention; of course they're dedicated to the game. However, there are a LOT of people who only buy the PHB and that's the only book they buy. There's also people who game regularly and enjoy gaming but don't even buy the books. They're still "gamers" and "D&D players" and part of the audience, they're just not consumers. They're dedicated while at the table and have fun, but they don't much think about the game between sessions. Heck, we know there are some million D&D players out there but the PHB only sells a few hundred thousand copies. So likely half to 3/4 of the audience doesn't buy the books, but just uses books provided at the table. If half your audience doesn't care about buying your own books, why would they care about 3rd Party publishers? [/QUOTE]
