[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 8852750, member: 7030526"] Chris said MtG cultural awareness is 3/10 for MtG, but with those 3/10 people the convos ends up deep, but excluding everyone else, but with D&D it's 10/10, between fans of the video games, TTRPG, and pop culture references everybody knows D&D and can talk about it. This explains why D&D is getting the movies, TVs shows, novels etc..., dispite earning a fraction of MtG. They called MtG a 1 Qaudrant, but deep strategy compared to D&D's 4 Qaudrant Strategy. They're trying to expand MtG's market with D&D and Universes Beyond sets, but that does little to help MtG's own inheriant settings. I do wonder is Theros & Ravnica better known from the MtG sets or their D&D books? Getting MtG's settings to appeal more broadly when only 25% of MtG fans even know what a Planeswalker is (this is like D&D fans being what's a wizard?), shows the huge problem they have turning it into a transmedia machine compared to D&D. They keep trying and failing. This is why I think they will merge the MtG and D&D multiverses, the only way they build broader appeal for MtG settings with the broader culture is to connect it with something that already has that cultural status. They did emphasize how well the D&D and Warhammer cards were selling. PS MtG fans are pissed, they were expecting this to be a call addressing the fandoms issues with MtG and instead WotC was like things are find, no need to change except space products out more, now talk about our plans and excitement for D&D and IT's bright future. Didn't meantion Magic 30th, CEO Chris Cocks might as well have smacked MtG players in the face with a PHB. They turned a Fireplace chat about MtG into an ad for D&D movie and D&D Beyond. It'd be funny if MtG fans weren't so pissed. [/QUOTE]
