I always read the news page, not so much for the D&D but more for the other interesting stuff that other games companies are doing, kickstarter projects, etc.

Some good insights here. I don't really have a computer gamer mindset so it never really occurred to me that there might be an acquistional approach that might also drive people not to have fun! I've often thought that "newer" gamers from video gaming take a different approach to "older"...

See discussion above.

Celtic and Viking mythos is also relevant to the Iron Age, so plenty to go at there - giants, undead, trolls, faerie etc.
