[QUOTE="Maggan, post: 5977544, member: 6616"] It's funny how things are different for people, aint it? Some things are similar, and some are not. For the gamers I have regular contact with outside the Internet (an odd 30 or so), the list looks like this: - Fans love OGL. WotC tries to kill OGL. - Fans love to buy print books. A few like to by PDF's. - Fans don't play Living Greyhawk. - Fans say, Eberron is fun and cool. - Fans are tired of Forgotten Realms, but there are a few who have played it for a long time. - There were a handful fans subscribing to Dragon and Dungeon. They all had problems getting the magazines promptly and without fuss from Paizo. WotC makes Dragon and Dungeon digital, which makes it possible for these fans to get all the material when everyone else does. - Fans want better product quality and better maps, same as always. - Fans want Dark Sun back. And Mystara. - Fans want a separate miniature game. And more minis! - Fans want trimmer rulebooks. And fans want fatter rulebooks, ilke the Pathfinder rules. - Fans say, "hey, this D&D4 thing that the new designers made, it is a fun game, and we like to play it!" When D&D4 was released, suddenly people who were not even looking at D&D before started playing it. And this has now led to interest in older editions and the old school games. But as a general observation, D&D4 didn't meet many fans expectations, and not WotC's targets. But for our circle, it was a success. As for the movie, that's not WotC. They don't have the rights. /M [/QUOTE]
