[QUOTE="DMZ2112, post: 6292234, member: 78752"] Sigh. My point, which was made in line with [MENTION=2525]Mistwell[/MENTION] 's OP theory and the general theme of the thread, was that [I]the time to realize that D&D was marketable as a multimedia fantasy franchise[/I] was 15 years ago, just after Hasbro had bought Wizards of the Coast and when the Lord of the Rings movies and Star Wars prequels were all anyone could talk about and the world was desperate for knockoffs like the Golden Compass and the Chronicles of Narnia. Not now, when there's one Hobbit movie left and the world has once again collectively moved on to moralizing, empty-headed Will Smith and Tom Cruise action sci-fi. This is an ex-parrot. So no, nothing about Pathfinder, D&D3, RPG sales, or even the RPG industry and its relative size. If everybody on this forum wouldn't pull the pins from their grenades at the slightest hint of provocation we'd have a lot less edition warring. [/QUOTE]
