[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5049032, member: 52734"] Actually, I don't think we're going to see a "revolution" in the RPG hobby again, more likely it will be "refinements" from here on out. I think the more the hobby leaders (most especially WotC) start to embrace the electronic aspects of the game, that it will help the hobby sustain for longer. I think RPGs have passed their prime and most folks are looking elsewhere for their entertainment; at this point RPGs are fighting to keep their fan bases interested and involved, much less grow them. Let computers do the grunt work and handle the math, and let those friends who get together to game focus on the game instead of mechanics and tracking modifiers and whatnot. Side Rant [sblock]What steams me is with what little regard WotC seems to have for computers and the role electronics [I]could[/I] play in the game. 3E's E-tools fiasco, Pulling PDF's, shelving the virtual table and visualizer was very sad - the latter would have been great for 4E's health. (And I think they really missed the boat and had to paddle fast with the power cards - and I still think they did a poor job on that...). I guess we're very lucky they managed to keep the Compendium & Character Builder up and working smoothly enough. When it comes to innovating electronics, I get the feeling WotC's about 10-15 years behind where they could be.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
