Also true. Everyone I knew would have a game of Shadowrun or World of Darkness or whatever else if you wanted. At the very least there were Pathfinder groups.

But now I don't even see Pathfinder out there much. I think DnD podcasts and webseries and such were incredibly successful in cementing DnD as the only game in town. They brought in a ton of new players who have only heard of DnD and only want to play DnD.
