[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 9235256, member: 957"] Any new game has a huge hill to climb. I think that two years from now there will be Dungeons and Dragons. Period. Then there will be Pathfinder as as the "other game". There will also be a vibrant "old school" community happily playing along. But all the new games will be fantasy heart-breakers. There will be people playing MCDM and loving it, but it wont be any bigger than, say. DCC now. Which could be awesome for MCDM. But the marketplace won't change, just the proper names we are talking about (both those that have faded into the background and those that are coming up soon and are "all the buzz" as "coming in 2027"). Obviously CoC and other alternative genres will plug along just nicely, but that is a separate topic really. And, to reverse myself..... Sometime some new game will launch over that hill and into the sky. D&D will become a quaint name for a respected but outdated predecessor. But that could be 2025 or many years away. And the technology effects will likely result in difficulty in even calling them the same experience. But 99% of players won't care at that point anymore than people care now how much D&D resembles Chainmail. I also predict that the sun will rise in the east tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
