At least that's my analysis for why this topic has come up over and over again since the pre-3e motto at least. Don't get me wrong; there's always been a significant plurality of dungeon-preferers. But ever since Tracy Hickman showed up at TSR and busted the bank on sales by leaving the dungeon, everyone really needs to come to terms with the fact that there's also a very significant plurality if not outright majority of demand for non-dungeon D&D.</p></blockquote><p></p>
