[QUOTE="Ourph, post: 4119984, member: 20239"] Here's the good news. Most gamers buy lots of crap they never use, including games they never play or only play rarely. Most gamers will also play whatever someone else happens to be willing to run. The term "splinter group" is, IMO, a [I]non sequitur[/I] when it comes to gaming. Playing an RPG you aren't familiar with isn't like switching careers. You sit down at the table, you roll the dice the other players tell you to, you have fun, eventually you learn the rules. That's how it's always worked. That's how it's always going to work. The hobby is bigger and more popular than it was in 1978 (when I first found out about this new thing called RPGs) and we still had lots of fun playing back then, despite limited products and a much smaller pool of players. The sky is not falling, despite what you may read on the intarblog. [/QUOTE]
