[QUOTE="halfling rogue, post: 7672958, member: 6779182"] But I mean, I heard them just like everyone else, so I'm not really just now catching on as much as I am just now understanding what they meant. We knew they wanted D&D to be more than just the tabletop, but what I think some of us didn't expect is that the way that they have decided to do it is to downplay the tabletop. They gave us the heads up that the tabletop would be but one facet of D&D, but they didn't tell us that it would no longer be the central facet. I think most of us expected their strategy to look like this: There is a bus called D&D and the tabletop game is the bus driver with video games/board games/books/apps/etc along for the ride. The passengers go wherever the tabletop turns. But what I think their strategy really looks like now that we've had a few doses is this: There is a bus called D&D. Tabletop turned the key and pushed the gas, but now all the passengers are driving the bus at the same time. [/QUOTE]
