[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5997800, member: 16069"] While the keynote was okay and all that, as many others here have already said, it said nothing to me about my life- nice that all the old stuff is back out again. I played through a lot of it at the time (or as much as I could), so I've kinda read it, done it etc. Again though- good for people to revisit or else experience for the first time. The rest was pretty much FR which the various gaming groups I have played with in the last 30-whatever years it is have more or less all dismissed as a bit- meh. Mostly in favour of Greyhawk, or Lankhmar, or something homebrewed a bit... darker, edgier, something like that. Last point- re Silverblade et als kids play computer games- they do, I work in education, have done for decades- kids bring their cool stuff in to show their friends, get them interested. I've not see an odd-shaped dice in a classroom, or at least not one I didn't bring in myself, for... phew, easily a decade. I see consoles, handheld and kids that talk about nothing but electronic games on a daily basis- every day, and for over a decade probably. I appreciate I'm over here in the UK, and in Grimsby, but when I was a kid there were clubs, and groups and, well... loads of RPG gaming. Now, and I've looked- hence my drift to maptools and on-line gaming, nada- tumbleweed. I guess there could still be kids playing at home and all, but I've not heard the phrase 'dungeons & dragons'- except when followed by DDO, for some considerable time. I honestly think a killer D&D game would indeed turn many more kids on to D&D than any new edition, IMHO, of course. [/QUOTE]
