In another (non-roleplaying) forum, someone mentioned roleplaying as an example in an argument. His assertion was that roleplaying, as an industry, was irrecoverably damaged by all the bad press about "Satanism" and whatnot, and has never really recovered. Several of us pointed out that it probably had more to do with paper prices, CCGs, and perhaps video games than any parental outrage. And someone else asserted, and this is what I'm curious about, that the roleplaying industry is larger than it's ever been. So that's my question... is it? And in what way? Unit sales? Or dollar sales, and if so what part does inflation and cover price increases play (that is, are there more roleplayers, or the same number (or fewer) paying more per book)? -- Karen J.
