[QUOTE="Jake Johnson, post: 6346801, member: 6777367"] We seem to zoom out to a market view and back down to the individual player level in this conversation a bit. Here's another observation from the player level: This morning I shared the elevator with, among others, one of our grad student assistants. I'd heard he played D&D after forming my initial group to run through the Starter Set. I know he wants to play, so I invited him to jump in when we start Hoard of the Dragon Queen. He said he would love to join us. Now at our floor, walking to our respective work areas, we chatted about his gaming history. He's played only Pathfinder for the past few years, hates 4E, and would really like to continue playing Pathfinder. He seemed a little sad (but accepting) when I let him know that Pathfinder isn't under playing consideration for our group unless 5E turns out to be something other than what it seems. Several members of our group have indicated a preference for 1E-style play, and a Theatre of the Mind vibe. To my mind, this is where the competition happens. [/QUOTE]
