Did they keep doing those spots? Perhaps they felt the ads weren't very successful, which is why they didn't try it again (such as when they launched the new line a few years ago).Mourn said:I recall spots for Vampire and Werewolf back in the mid-1990s, and plenty of people would argue that those games are deeper than D&D.

xechnao said:My point is that you speak if it was easily the same thing regarding advertising which in fact it is not.
Commercial is expensive. You're better off using the product placement method (remember the GE commercial between the romance of a beautiful supermodel and a geeky computer nerd? Or the scene from the final episode of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer TV series?) or get free advertisement via monologue from late-night talk show hosts (e.g., Conan O'Brien).wherwrthal said:Why not my favorite game?

Mourn said:I still don't understand whether you have a real point or not.
What is the point in distinguishing between D&D and 4e, specifically?
xechnao said:A short TV spot regarding this could be a bit risky. Wizards has to convince in a more concrete and complete way than a short TV spot.
