#3 bawylie Jan 21, 2015 9:58:37	Rate of growth is the story here. Not total numbers.

#5 bawylie Jan 21, 2015 10:38:12	Exactly. That's why rate of growth is important. Is PF/3rd experiencing negative growth while 5E experiences positive? If so, it seems like people would be finishing their campaigns and switching. But if PF/3rd holds steady while 5th simply shows up, that could indicate new gamers as opposed to converts.    Snapshot isn't quite enough.

#8 bawylie Jan 21, 2015 11:55:56	Well, my best guess is campaigns wrapping up and new campaigns look to be converts to 5E then.    Caveat. I don't have perfect knowledge of what motivates everyone and I certainly am not speaking for anyone. Just estimating based on the changes Mellored reports.

#10 bawylie Jan 21, 2015 12:22:42	That's my thinking. There's good stuff here. But after you've played a yearlong campaign (new design paradigm), are you gonna want to try a new character? Is there enough meat left on the bones after your first meal? Idk. I hope so.
