Hopefully WotC will start tap those markets; Lord knows those stupid Drizz't books are both a cash cow and a gateway to gaming.Fair enough, and I hope I didn't give you the impression that I thought it was. That said, having one marketing direction for East Asia and another for the rest of the world would still be a damn sight better than just having one for the entire world--D&D's current market isn't particularly homogenous either. Despite their many cultural differences, countries in East Asia still consume a lot of media from one another, so I think there could potentially be a pan-Asian appetite for D&D with a carefully crafted marketing strategy.I think your point is spot-on, though. It should go without saying that, hypothetically, anyone who ended up in charge of marketing D&D (or anything, really) to Asian markets probably ought to be aware of Asia's non-homogeneity.If you'd like to, I don't mind. We're talking about D&D reaching outside of its traditional markets, which is a fair bit closer to the topic than at least some of the conversations we've seen in this thread. I'm happy to follow your lead, and moderators' directions.</blockquote>
