[QUOTE="jbear, post: 5999493, member: 75065"] That was an interesting watch (both what was said and the audience reaction). You could feel the lack of excitement about the Realms being the setting from the audience. The cold reception of Drzz't and Elminster. A few things I'd like to say. 1) [MENTION=2]Piratecat[/MENTION] Congrats! I thought you did a great job. You can be proud. 2) Though I remain only politely interested in 5e, I find the spirit behind the development of 5e to be admirable. WotC are in many ways in a position where they are damned if they do, and they are damned if they don't. I really do wish them the best with what I'm sure will be a fantasic version of D&D upon release. 3) The art looked fantastic. I applaud what they are doing there. 4) Another realm's shaking event ... I have my doubts as well I must admit. But I'll reserve judgement until I see what they come up with. 5) The re-release of catalogued PDFs is an interesting gesture. Smart. They seem to systematically trying to right 'wrongs' committed with the last change of edition. another step in the right direction. All in all I'm just glad to hear that they are not going to rush towards release. As for my opinion about kids and the future of D&D (which having skipped from page 2 to pg 11 seems to be where the conversation has gone), I have a 7 year old boy who loves video games, especially lego star wars. I've introduced him to D&D (him and his friends and cousins). And he loves it (as did his friends and cousins). I've also seen how quickly the video games are abandoned when an adult proposes a game (any game that is minimally fun and exciting) and devotes all their attention to that group of kids. Besides, who really knows what the future holds. I can't even imagine what the world will be like 5 years from now to be honest. [/QUOTE]
