[QUOTE="Corjay, post: 4349853, member: 52839"] I beg to differ. MMORPG's are HUGE. People who know MMORPG's will be able to relate to 4e VERY easily. There's nothing new in D&D to them. Additionally, just the name "Dungeons & Dragons" and the concept do and always have related to everyone. The name is comprehendable and iconic. The main races are seen in every video game there is. And movies have presented such things for years. Besides, how many people are going to hear the term "dragonborn" or better yet "tiefling" before they ever see their pictures? Very few, and no one that plays is going to just assume that such people know what a "tiefling" is. It's the imagery that's going to pull the people in. Not the names. Once again, names are meaningless. They only have value so long as a picture is applied (a name itself is a meme for recalling an image to mind). Since there are plenty of pictures around, the name is unimportant. It's not like D&D posters have the words "we now include Dragonborn and Tieflings!" without showing their images. [/QUOTE]
