[QUOTE="billd91, post: 5598509, member: 3400"] The popularity of cats as pets doesn't really affect me as a pet owner of anything else but cats. The ripple effect of any developments in cat ownership is fairly contained. But D&D and anything going on with D&D, given its traditional position in the hobby and mindshare of people both inside and outside the industry, has a big ripple effect with this small hobby. I think that's a significant reason why people can't shut up about it, positive or negative. Plus, most of us have played D&D at some point in our lives, particularly on this D&D-oriented board. We've pretty much all self-identified as D&D players at some point. Most of us feel a personal connection with this hobby in general and this game, otherwise we wouldn't waste our time here, typing on and on about it. We are (or at least were) invested in it and its future. So, again, we can't really shut up about it. [/QUOTE]
