Seperate brand, but build loyalty to WOTC as a bigger brand, then steer the new consumer on to D&D or DDM or Magic or whatever.Some of your ideas actually trivialise the brand and thus devalue it (I mean Dungeons & Dora - are you serious? If anyone at WOTC R&D suggested that I <s>hope</s> suspect they would be sacked for having such a ridiculous thought) Your question posed in the poll is "Should D&D become like this?" based on the ideas in your first post. The response so far is that 96% of the admittedly small and admittedly non representative sample of ENWorld users have voted against your proposals. In fact to date a grand total of 4 (including you) out of 182 voters so far have agreed that "YES...I would like to see D&D evolve into this" which suggests to me that if these proposals were implemented by WOTC they would lose alot of existing customers. For the record I also disagree withy alot of the statements you're making as though they were gospel truth - they are simply your opinions and don't support any arguments or ideas you are putting forward any more than my opinions automatically mean that you are wrong just because I disagree with you.I don't actually think 3.5 is broken. I like it, and I like having rules and options. I can ignore them if I want.Options are good. Making the minis and board compulsary components in the way you suggested changes the game from being an imagination based RPG to being a board game.Any evidence to back this opinion?Evidence?</blockquote>
