Except for large corporations that do things like crash the economy, or spill a lot of oil onto the ocean.This inspires me to care a bit about the game, though I think universal edition support is a vain hope.Also, I don't think D&D is in any danger of withering, dying or what-have-you. It may go through cycles of lesser or greater popularity, but unless North America and half of Europe are suddenly and absolutely beggared, D&D is here to stay. And by 'D&D,' I mean 'wide-appealing kitchen sink fantasy adventure rpg.' D&D may someday be replaced by another brand name, but whatever rpg succeeds it will have the same spirit that D&D has. As long as killing things and taking its stuff is fun, there'll be a fantasy rpg to let us play at it as anything from a swordsman to a weird part-animal magic-user.Until we achieve a Star Trek-like utopia and somehow manage to sterilize millenia of jungle instinct, we'll have D&D or something like it. And if that every happens, rpgs will be the least of the things we 'lose.'</blockquote>
