[QUOTE="AlioTheFool, post: 5814317, member: 82767"] It's funny you say that. I was just talking about D&D with my wife this morning. I mentioned that I posted to Twitter that I think Chris Perkins should run a game of D&D for Vin Diesel, Nathan Fillion and Eliza Dushku to promote D&DNext, in order to capitalize on star power to promote the game. While she agreed that getting Hollywood names would be helpful, she also mentioned that her biggest reason for not really being enthusiastic to play is the complication (or at least the appearance of it). While many of us grew up with the game and learned textbooks worth of gaming material, so are used to it, not everyone has that patience. If Wizards wants to expand the market (which I'm sure they wouldn't mind doing) they need to make it more [I]beginner [/I]friendly, and that translates to "easier to pick up and play." Out of curiosity, have you played around with the Wizards VTT in Beta? I'm sympathetic to the time investment involved in getting a VTT game up and running. I believe the WotC one has 4E monster stats in it. [/QUOTE]
