[QUOTE="Aeolius, post: 4517988, member: 2072"] For those keeping track, I’ll turn 43 in a few weeks and I started playing D&D with Basic D&D back in 1979. I’m not sure when I stopped being D&D’s target audience. Until recently, I consider myself to be a self-titled leap-grognard, as skipped from 1e to 3e. I bought most of what 3e/3.5e had to offer, unless it pertained to a campaign setting I had no interest in (I prefer GH) or had little information I found useful. With the advent of 4e, a new generation of leap-grognard, those jumping from 2e to 4e, has appeared. Granted, I haven't run a standard dungeon crawl since my 1e days, well into the time others were playing 2e. Did I stop being a member of their target audience at that time? My 3e games are set in unusual settings and I run my games online. Did that disqualify me from being in the target audience? I know I am no longer part of WotC’s/Hasbro’s concern as, while I bought the 4e core books the day they were released, I didn’t care for them. I’m not on their radar for the DDI, as I use the Macintosh OS. I am also uninterested in Tiny Adventures on Facebook, but would welcome an official D&D presence on Second Life. I find myself looking over the WotC boards less each day, in favor of sites like Kobold Quarterly, Paizo, Phoenix Lore, and the like. Perhaps I am 5e’s target audience. [/QUOTE]
