You're absolutely right. The same is equally true of death metal. I think if D&D is ever unseated, it'll come as a surprise, but when we have a chance to look at it with a little perspective we'll figure out why.

Corpulent. She's corpulent.

If D&D ever gets dethroned as the #1 RPG, it's probably going to come as quite a surprise like the death of hair metal or the collapse of the Soviet Union.

While there's some truth to this, I'm not so cynical to think it's entirely true. How many movies studios spent tons of marketing on have flopped because it was terrible? Pepsi dumped a ton of money in marketing Crystal Pepsi but it only lasted two years (with a brief revival in 2016). The...

You know what? Maybe. Game preferences undulate with the ebb and flow of demographic changes. It's not like D&D is the same game it was in 2000 let alone 1974. One day something is going to unseat D&D as the premier RPG. But we all know it's going to be Call of Cthulhu. :-)

It takes a while for the gears of commerce to stop grinding. But as evidenced by the number of unsold Star Wars, Marvel, and Disney toys sitting on the shelves, it looks like Hasbro has been overproducing toys for the last few years.

That's exactly what makes it so great! While I don't think D&D will always be the #1 RPG, I don't see anything in Daggerheart that would indicate it might unseat D&D.

Are you kidding? Vampire made an appearance on the hit syndicated television show Real Stories of the Highway Patrol back around 1996 or so. It doesn't get more mainstream than that! Vampire brought a lot of people into RPGs who wouldn't otherwise have been caught (un)dead playing D&D...

I'm starting to wonder if everyone else who left did so because they could read the writing on the wall.

Oh, wow. For a minute I had a flashback to when we looked up movie show times in newspapers or called movie phone. The only two movies there that are bad are Cannonball Run II and Rhinestone. Everything else is pretty much gold.

My dragon from Archon Studio.

Bingo! I have yet to find an RPG that provides a satisfactory vehicle combat system for basically the reasons you've listed here. I don't mean to discourage the OP, but this is a golden opportunity for them to come up with something fun.

Are you talking about that terrible movie starring Brigitte Nielson as Red Sonja and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Not Conan? Okay, I can't lie because I've got a soft spot in my heart for that movie too, but it seems like thin source material for a game. Like Deathstalker, it's less of a game and...

I think Palladium already made that game. It was originally called Night Spawn before Todd McFarland sued them, forcing them to change it to Nightbane.

Here’s hoping Brian and his grandfather fair winds to Nassau.

It’s funny how perspective can change over the years. I loved Adam West’s Batman as a kid, was too cool for it as a teen, but as an old man I can once again appreciate it for what it is.

I saw an interview with Dirk Benedict and he was talking about the A-Team. He jokingly said, "Sorry, George. They were there for Mr. T," in reference to Mr. T stealing the show. Incidentally, the A-Team was the first show from my childhood I noticed had aged poorly. It ran until 1987, but I...
