[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 7663502, member: 18182"] So. Off. Base. Hasbro is spending big bucks on fighting over the movie rights in court, as are two major Hollywood studios. New D&D movies ARE going to happen. Who will make them and will they be any good? That remains to be seen. Toy lines are made based on popular movie and TV franchises. There actually ARE D&D toys released by Hasbro, the D&D Kreo figures and sets (off brand Legos), although the line doesn't appear to have done very well (I think). There aren't tons of highly visible D&D toys, like there are for DC and Marvel, because D&D does not yet have a successful movie and/or TV show yet. That's got to come first. And there IS a D&D casual family board game, it is called "Dungeon". And there is a D&D euro-style game out called "Lords of Waterdeep". And the line of D&D "adventure system" games, like the soon-to-be-released "Elemental Evil" are out there too. Could there be more? Sure, but there are plenty out NOW. There are two SUCCESSFUL D&D MMOs out now, "D&D Online" and "Neverwinter". Not World of Warcraft popular, but still making good money and with lots of happy players. And they just announced a new MMO-ish release "Sword Coast Legends", which is getting excellent press right now. So there is no MOBA . . . so what? So there is no standalone CRPG? So what? Doesn't mean Hasbro is failing in the video game arena for D&D. Do they have to have representation in every genre? Although, a well done D&D MOBA would be very cool . . . . D&D does have a successful comic line, the current storyline mixes Tyranny of Dragons, Baldur's Gate, and MINSC and BOO!!! It's awesome, I highly recommend it. There's a decent back catalog too of previous IDW hits (Fell's Five, Dark Sun, Legend of Drizzt) and old Forgotten Realms classics from the 80s as well, all available in your local comic shop and online at Comixology and other vendors. Your assertion that D&D is invisible in regards to movies, toys, board games, video games, and comics is laughably absurd and simply not true. I guess you see what you want to see. [/QUOTE]
