[QUOTE="Derren, post: 6204427, member: 2518"] I didn't want to say it, but that would also be my believe. But still, Mearls would get his name attached to it which will certainly not help with the job hunt afterwards. "Shoot the messenger" (or "blame the guy who touched it last"). As for movies, I have no idea why Hasbro is after the rights so much. The previous movies weren't really stellar, giving the D&D brand a rather negative image among movie goers, and the market for fantasy movies doesn't seem to good either. Even the interest in Hobbit seems to wane and D&D can never match them. D&D on the video game market is as good as dead. All studios which can produce AAA RPG titles have their own franchises now and the fantasy RPG market also seems saturated at the moment. That leaves board games and books. And maybe a trading card spinoff. That always worked for quick money... [/QUOTE]
