[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 7657116, member: 27252"] Of those on the list, the ones that most interest me the most aren’t actually directly linked to role-playing! That is, I do hope we can see some decent D&D movies, with high production values, direction and movie-star appeal. There won’t be any more Middle-Earth or Harry Potter franchised fantasy movies from now on, and as such there ought to be a market for these films - if they are done well. I actually think The Hobbit movies, although they were only lukewarmly received by critics as Tolkien adaptations, were actually good models for how a fantasy movie could be done well. Of course, ‘D&D’ movies won’t ever be lauded as high-brow - but they could nevertheless be successful entertainments. With regards to everything else, it’s fairly obvious that D&D will reclaim it’s No.1 ranking. I do hope Pathfinder keeps going well, though too. As a game, it’s a little mechanically heavy for my tastes - but the RPG industry needs the competition. Similarly, I hope FFG keeps chugging on too - although they’re primarily still a board game maker I feel. It will be interesting to see their plans for both the Star Wars and 40KRP lines after 2015 - as both seem to have completed their core rule book releases respectively by then. Other companies/games that could make an impact (or not) might be Cubicle 7 with their Doctor Who and The One Ring lines now both cooking along with releases, the new 7th edition of Call of Cthulhu (which will probably be out by about March/April I’m reckoning) along with some affiliated new companies like Modiphius Press making some impact, and maybe The Onyx Path who is starting to get a more recognisable profile in the wake of White Wolf’s effective demise. The latter of those is actually doing incredibly well in it’s use of Kickstarter and drivethrurpg.com to get product out now. They still have a terrible delay on their record Exalted fundraiser, but the Mage:The Ascension 20th Anniversary raised nearly as much and appears well on the way towards meeting all deadlines. Not only that, but they are actually supporting two alternative World of Darkness lines (Classic and New) as well as other lines such as the Trinity and Scion series and other new lines too. It’s difficult to gauge their success in comparison to Wizards and the rest, because their core trade is done in such a different way - but they still have a presence. [/QUOTE]
