[QUOTE="rjdafoe, post: 5013307, member: 54591"] It depends on what you mean by Golden Age, I suppose. Number of players, quality of material, etc. I would say the Golden Age based upon the number of people playing. This in turn created an awarness of the product that let it become known and viable for the toy stores to carry it. I believe it also allowed great stuff to come out of the industry back then. I really don't care about sales at this point. I can say, in my area, without a doubt the 80s where the Golden Age of D&D and RPGs in general. The cons in my area had more events than you could sign up for and more players than you could realistically count without seeing all the tickets. There were people everywhere, multiple floors and rooms throughout the colleges that hosted them. These same cons are barely able to survive today. They have been in the same state for 10 years or more now. They are down to a single large room (school lunch room size with a balcony) for both dealers and games and have been for years. [/QUOTE]
