[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6551849, member: 37579"] And I'd like Ravenloft adventures. And a full deluxe campaign setting. Preferably in a boxed set with a cloth map. For under $100. It's no more than Planescape received during 2e. But that doesn't mean it'd be in the best interests of WotC and the long term health of the game/hobby. Granny Smith versus Golden Delicious. If the only two points of comparison are a Granny Smith apple and a Golden Delicious apple you will find dissimilarities. But once you add a pear to the mix the two seem a lot more alike. And if you have a pear, apple, and orange the former two seem a lot more alike than the latter. Comparing just D&D and a hobby board game (in this case Catan but easily any long lived board game with expansions), and the two seem dissimilar. But when you add video games and athletic games to the mix then board and tabletop RPGs have more in common. You're playing in person, with friends, often at a table, for a variable length of time and the experience is not identical. It's a social activity that everyone is equally participating in, in an active role. While the actual play might vary (depending on the games) the market and possible product design and release schedule. What does it matter what other games came out in 1995? Why does it matter if D&D mimicks Catan. Catan is just an easy example as it's the most well known hobby game, like D&D is the most well known RPG. I could just have easily picked Pandemic or Carcassonne. [/QUOTE]
