[QUOTE="Gryph, post: 5463797, member: 98071"] At least anecdotally there is some evidence they have had some success. I'm running a table for a local Meetup group where 5 of the 6 players are MMO players looking for a broader gaming experience. For 3 of them my 4e game is their sole tabletop experience. A couple had tried a 3e game a few years ago and didn't like it. They specifically told me they gave 4e a try because of some of the design concepts they read about 4e (and listening to the PA podcasts). Honestly, the podcasts were probably the stronger reason. 3 to 5 individual cases are hardly compelling evidence, I know. However, on most Meetup game days we have 4 tables running with about 25 players. One of the tables playes 1e. Every other week there is a Pathfinder game going and the rest are 4e. The highest concentration of new players to tabletop gaming are at the 4e tables. [/QUOTE]
