[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6677530, member: 15700"] I think D&D is doing well, and there are a lot of positives about it (finally getting the movie rights lawsuit done is HUGE, sort of like finally getting Osama Bin Laden ;) But it's not the golden age, nor ever will. In my opinion, the golden age was the early to mid 80s, and it's not even close. That's when the game took off exponentially in popularity. We'll never see growth like that again. It's when the game was seen played in every library at every school. It's when there were actual D&D clubs at schools. It was where D&D books were sold in mainstream stores and toy stores. If a store sold any type of book, you could find D&D books there too. We had the D&D cartoon. Revenues were soaring. That era has the overwhelmingly majority of iconic adventures. It was an era that gave us Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Manual of the Planes, and Dragonlance. And it was undisputed king of the hill for RPGs. [/QUOTE]
