[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5641493, member: 8835"] IME, I started my gaming group with D&D in 1990. We played through HS and college, and 20 years later, that group is still playing D&D (3.x). In college, my new friends played everything but D&D. I played a few games with them. One thing I observed, is NONE of them ever maintained a long running game. Each campaign that started, was lucky to get 3 sessions in. One crackpot theory: the mentality that lead gamers to seek out system variety lacked the focus to stick to anything. Whereas, the mentality that kept the other group in one system, kept them playing together. I am certain though, that the kind of people who frequent gaming forums are the same kind of people willing to collect and explore other games. the kind of people who just play D&D aren't interested in any of that. The OGl didn't impact them, because they never bought a non-WotC add-on. We've digressed from money making magic. But it's a pet peeve of mine to see the answer being "you're using the wrong system." because even though its right, that doesn't mean switching is a viable solution. [/QUOTE]
