[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6292549, member: 2525"] It definitely helps with game scripts. Take a look at the history of game script writers and rpg writers, and you will find a lot of overlap between the two. I'm actually surprised to hear people didn't know about this. It's been happening for a couple decades now. To a much lesser extend it even happened all the way back to the TSR days. It absolutely seems to help with game scripting. I never mentioned or implied novel writing, but even that there is evidence you are wrong. Several game authors have written successful books. Not all of them, but there is some overlap there as well. How many press releases and interviews and articles and speeches will it take for them to convince you that is not what they think? How many times do they have to mention brand and cross platform and multimedia and all entertainment for it to sink in that they mean it? It's one element, but the brand overall is the focus. They are launching with the tabletop, but that does not mean the tabletop is the ongoing focus. Marvel launched with a new line of comics, but films was the real focus, and after that toys, and after than licensing, and then comics took a distant 4th place. The brand itself is the focus this time, with the tabletop game just one of many elements that make up that focus. [/QUOTE]
