[QUOTE="Corpsetaker, post: 6782844, member: 6776548"] The problem I see is "D&D" isn't enough to get ordinary non gamers to buy into it. I keep hearing the "pop culture" excuse but I don't buy it. While many people have heard of D&D, doesn't mean those people are going to go and see the movie etc... At the moment the fantasy/sci-fi genre has heavy competition and it's going to be difficult for D&D to find something that sets it apart from the others and attract the masses to buy into it. I also just want to say that your Game of Thrones type of interest doesn't come along very often so saying "well they did it so D&D can' isn't a true statement. Some shows just tend to take off with the populace while others fade into the background. When it comes to table top games, the D&D name doesn't hold the weight that it used to. We have loads of other TTRPGs that are just as popular so thinking the name will pull the brand through on it's own would be a foolish move. [/QUOTE]
