[QUOTE="Cyber-Dave, post: 7754430, member: 82132"] Between the way expectations surrounding the Magic/D&D crossover were horribly mishandled and the idiotic statements that were just made about D&D and e-sports, I feel disheartened today. I think Mike Mearls and company love the game and are doing their best to keep it alive and well. I think they did such a good job, the dragons at the top of the food-chain have started to perceive of D&D as food, and their culinary ideas are more than likely to leave the meal burnt. I am willing to give Ravnica a try, but I feel disappointed by the news. After all the talk about how their newest offerings would appeal to old-school players, it was disappointing for me to see a Magic plane and D&D's newest setting as their two new offerings... and I love Eberron and am not opposed to giving a Plane from Magic a try! I was just led to expect something... very different. I thought we were going to see Planescape, Spelljammer, or something like that. These e-sport statements, however? It seems like this official, who has probably never played D&D in his life, wants to repeat the mistakes of 4e. This bologna is the quickest way to kill an edition. [/QUOTE]
