[QUOTE="Ariosto, post: 5012016, member: 80487"] Commercially, [I]the[/I] Golden Age -- and not just for D&D. Boot Hill Gamma World Top Secret Gangbusters Star Frontiers Marvel Super Heroes and more ... and that was just TSR! Yeah, funny how people think of the period when something "spiked in popularity" as its Golden Age. Odd how they consider a decline in population of the "golden", due to shortage of a new generation, to mark a lesser age. After all, the "proper" criteria should be ... what, again? Right, but how many would call a [B]"fall far behind"[/B] a Golden Age [I]for D&D[/I]? (Gotta love it when the OP goes wildly OT, eh?) Certainly. Anyone who disagrees is self-evidently, a priori, simply wrong. Such as the brain trust at WotC who have dumped 3E and the OGL onto the ash heap of D&D-brand history. Such as anyone silly enough to take [B]Were the 80s really the Golden Age of D&D? as [B]a genuine question.[/B] [/B] [/QUOTE]
