[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7762457, member: 4348"] Some personal thoughts on this. Just recently someone said that the numbers of players of D&D (12-15 million) and that is surprisingly coming into Magic the Gathering territory. MtG makes gobs of cash on tournaments, leagues, and other things. If the playerbase is as large as PR has put it, then it is time to try to expand the money making opportunities in various directions (IMO). With a base out there, there IS money out there as well. This is a first foray into expanding it in directions. It combines the competitive nature with other things people seem to be looking at these days (esports, game sessions videos, etc). This is the first test (I would think) on a foray of this nature, but this format is not necessarily the ONLY format. Dungeon runs and other things could easily be incorporated. Give it a shot, one may like it. VIPs are included to give it a shot in the arm. The idea is to get a wider audience (I think, or at least expect) and there are hopes that such individuals might bring in some viewers that normally may not tune in to such a thing. There is a wide cross flow between the two types of gaming (TTRPGs and CRPGs as well as Video games even like fighting/sports/strategy and other types of games). Getting as wide an audience isn't a terrible thing, and with those with greater experience coaching those with lesser experience I imagine things could even up. If this first foray turns out well, with the increased interest from other venues this could be far larger in the future. Who knows. I don't think it is as bad as some seem to be making it out to be, and overall, it could be a very positive thing. If it increases interest in the hobby (via esports crossover) or otherwise, gives everyone some entertainment value, and is fun to watch, that should be a good thing overall. Or so I hope (I guess we'll see how it turns out overall). [/QUOTE]
