[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5537498, member: 82106"] I don't see any evidence of much of anything outside of various forums. Of the people that play in 4e games I run, some also play 3.5 and/or DM 3.5. One runs a 4e Gamma World game. Another couple of my old 2e players (who never even played 3.x at all to my knowledge) still like 2e and would like to play 2e, but they didn't either say they wouldn't play 4e. The FLGS here is rather eccentric as the person who owns it has infinite money and thus has no interest in pleasing customers. Said person doesn't seem to be a 4e fan, but I haven't really actually discussed it with them. They don't run Encounters, but neither AFAICT do they participate in any Paizo/PF outreach. They carry a full line of 4e products, a full line of 3.x products, and a full line of PF products. Their roster of reservations for tables has been filled with various stuff, including a couple 3.5 games that have had a table for years. There's no real room for another game. I'm assuming they have little interest in 4e since no 4e games are on that list. Neither are any PF games. Most of it is M:tG, WH40K, a couple other RPGs, and misc other games. In other words, if anything, 3.5 is still the most popular system, 4e seems to be mostly well accepted and the 3.5 people I know will play 4e. Nobody has PF or has played it. There are still some 2e holdouts, but they mostly seem amenable to playing 4e. Not much can probably be drawn from that. There are plenty of player groups around I have no contact with and I don't know what they play or prefer. Anything could be true. We all exist amicably and no words of hate have been spoken in my presence. Prior to the release of 4e and PF most people played 3.5 and some played 2e. [/QUOTE]
