[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9032746, member: 63508"] And the whole thing seems less about WOTC alienating older fans and more the other way around. I mean most of the people I've seen with the "There are only 4 classes and 4-6races and all orcs and goblins are evil" opinions tend to lean to the older side. And the "I don't need all these fancy mechanics and other types of foighting and magicks" I've hear came from faces with some gray on them. But Tabaxi, Echo Knights, Eldritch Blast, and Dragon Punches sell books so WOTC will continue to lean those ways. So the DM who is "Champions, Thieves, Life Clerics, and Wizards of the 8 schools only. Human , Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Half Orc, Half elf,and Halfling only. No Feats. Only mutiliclassing in Racial Favored classes." is also not bying WOTC books. And WOTC likelyisn't willing to fight all the OSR publishers and OGL publishers for the pennies that DM will spend on them over the dollars other DMs will spend on Bootleg Harry Potter D&D. But there are still a freaking lot of them. More than Gen X. Again. If Gen X is 19% but Boomers are[B] less than 1%[/B], then either the survey is faulty or the survey is only for WOTC style D&D aka 5e. There is no way I can believe of all D&D players of all editions, less than 1% are over ~56yo if the generation before them are still at 19%. I could maybe believe 2%. But less than 1% heavily hints to it being only 5e. [/QUOTE]
