10-30-06, 03:12 PM I dont think the census asks if you are a gamer or not, so it might be hard to tell. Also, I don't think a lot of people actually care how many gamers there are to bunch us in some sort of statistic. There are so many closet gamers and new people are introduced everyday. I even googled it for you and found nothing.

It's a WotC survey from 1999 (published in 200), so some of it is a bit dated.

I found some message board posts about how D&D had 4 million players in 2004, but no actual links to studies.
