There's a considerable overlap already.  [USER=7030563]@ECMO3[/USER] needs to provide some sort of evidence that there would be significant additional sales if WotC were to try to chase gamers who played in the 80's, would be interested in playing D&D, but feel they are not being served by 5e.I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that's a pretty niche market.</blockquote>
