[QUOTE="TerraDave, post: 6548378, member: 22260"] Sure. Absolutely. Of course TSR almost went bankrupt within a couple of years...but that was more them then the market. But you might be surprised at how much money WotC is making right now. And people are playing D&D, and that game very much like D&D. They are playing it right now and spending money on it. See, there have been a lot of posts like this in the thread, and they can read a little silly. People had lives back then. They did not think of life as slow paced. (And people have always imagined an earlier, simpler time, its a cliche). Even in the realm of geeky-hobbiess, there where other RPGs and hobby games and other geeky things you could do. (Join the Society for Creative Anachronism, own 50 different avalon hill wargames, watch Star Wars at a theater still showing it 5 years after it came out). But again, we know people are buying and playing D&D. And again, in another thread here some of them are playing it a lot. Sure. Definitely. But I do think that overall this post captures the contradiction here. If time is so tight...then WotC should cater to that in a way they still haven't. But maybe thats not right. Maybe people want to adopt existing adventures, find and post their own stuff on the interwebs. Put time into it. The time of the de-lazy DM is here. [/QUOTE]
