There is no way to communicate the essence of D&D in a 30-second TV spot in a straight-up manner. The imagery associated with gameplay is frankly boring at best. Imagery associated with what the game is about (CGI dragons and whatnot) is even more closely associated with electronic games and movies. Mixing them would give you a modern version of those horrible TSR ads from the 80s.The trick is to make an ad that communicates the FUN associated with the game without getting too literal about it. I think this ad does so while going down the nostalgia path. There may be other ways to do it without nostalgia. But anything that works is NOT going to be a literal ad about how to play RPGs or what's in the basic game box.</blockquote>
