[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8753982, member: 67338"] citation needed... nelson ratings aren't "Take every person that watches TV" its "Take a sample of each and every type and then interpret" When we poll for political reasons, we don't need to call all 100% of voters, but a subset. IMDB uses self selected people to rate movies and so does Rotten tomatoes... if YOU want to prove that people that play at cons and at AL and at game stores is not representative then YOU have to show what makes the people that play in public different then those that play at home. Most new Players I have interacted with have NOT been on tic tok or this page or twitter... the ones I have seen to go on to run home games, I met at stores, cons and AL events. Not every player I know goes to or plays public games (although I did know a couple that had a gaming store so we did try to support them) but I would say about 2 out of the 15 of us did somewhat pre covid (and we are starting to get back to it) Back during the big schism when some of us went to 4e, and some went to PF and some went to different non D20 games, there was at least 1 from each group that was going to 1+ con a year and at least some playing some form of organized play.
