[QUOTE="Maggan, post: 4780616, member: 6616"] For me, this announcement has made me check out the Dragon Age CRPG. Which is what I think BioWare's main purpose of this deal is. To attract PnP rpg players. A smart marketing move, in my eyes. I'm doubtful if the revenues from the pnp rpg will make a lot of difference to the bottom line of BioWare. For Green Ronin this is an interesting decision, and it's going to be interesting to see how they (and Pramas) follow up on his previous comments about bringing new players to the pnp hobby. Is this the way to do it? Is Green Ronin the company to do it? Interesting times. But for me, checking out the world, reading the blurb on the pnp rpg on BioWare's site and thinking about it for a little while, results in one question: Why should I play pnp Dragon Age and not continue with D&D and WFRP? I find nothing about the premise of the pnp version sufficiently appealing and/or different from other fantasy rpgs which I already play to really grab me. It doesn't really scream "play me you fool!" in any way that other games already do. So that's what Green Ronin has to adress to get me to try the boxed set. Why should I get that? What does it bring to the table that other games don't? One thing would be seamless integration with the CRPG tools for World Building. That would grab me. /M [/QUOTE]
