[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 9383026, member: 7030526"] Our lord? He's not my Lord. I got lots of other Lords and Ladies. Anyways MtG is a horrible choice to compare it too. MtG can't even sustain novel lines anymore or any kind of merch, it barely has any kind of cultural peneration at all, its lore even less so. D&D on the other hand, none D&D players on average know more about D&D lore then none Vorthos MtG players know about MtG lore. Its why MtG can't seem to market much of anything beyond the card game itself and playmats and artbooks, with a string of failed videos games and other merch attempts. Ironically the exception was the first 2 MtG D&D crossover books, the third did not do as well, the setting wasn't ripe yet. One of those MtG D&D setting books was able to ride the coat tails of the popularity of Greek Mythology. Meanwhile the Forgotten Realms alone has a movie last year that had over $200 million in income (Chris Pine just said there is still a chance a sequel if the financing comes through), still has novels coming out, video games coming, D&D Appliances, etc..., And beyond D&D Lore Greco-Roman Mythology is one of the most well known and loved Religious Mythologies in the world, folks that don't know D&D know Greek Mythology.
