[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6251721, member: 87792"] I'd like to see some evidence of this as it's in direct contradiction to my experience. Most people who buy D&D buy it because it's the only tabletop RPG they have ever heard of (with the possible exception of Vampire: The Masquerade) and is the only TTRPG they can find in anything except highly specialised shops. Of that group, some continue to buy D&D because they like the feel, some buy D&D because it is [I]good enough[/I] and they don't want to learn any new games, some continue to buy D&D because it's what everyone else plays, and some move on to other systems. And some, like me, like D&D for some purposes because of the feel and the way it plays - and don't like it for others for precisely the same reasons. Getting into mainstream bookstores - hell, my local gaming stores don't stock any RPGs. [/QUOTE]
