[QUOTE="Burnside, post: 9289172, member: 6910340"] Re: percentage of players, I have no clue Re: Adventurer's League...I feel like it might be more relevant in some parts of the country than others, but I can tell you that the vast, vast majority of my clients (both online and in-person) have never heard of it and have no idea what it is, and any specific attempts my company has made to push AL content have not caused interest in a game to increase or decrease at all. We've basically stopped bothering with it. Re; sustainability. I can tell you anecdotally that I ran my first pro game in 2017 but didn't really start doing it regularly until 2020. I currently run multiple ongoing pro games myself and manage a "stable" of 6 other DMs, acting like an agent matching them up with clients, because there is far more demand than I could take on myself - and that's been the case steadily since 2020. Note however that DMing is not my full time job, mainly because I happen to like my actual job and also it's hard for me to imagine being able to swing medical coverage, benefits, retirement, etc on a pro DM freelance income.
