[QUOTE="shoak1, post: 7723368, member: 54380"] Uhhhh....Lumping [U][B]gamers[/B][/U] together (video games and hobby games) is indeed more valid than lumping in [B][U]sports[/U][/B]. Sorry. You are killing me here dude..... Great. D and D kills other RPGs. Congratz. One barely noticeable (in overall GAMING circles) game in 2017 is bigger than another barely noticeable game in 2017, several D and D-like movies have come out in recent years, and an actual D and D movie MIGHT start getting TALKED about being made. Oh, and D and D is getting as many internet hits as that guy that burps really loud. Wow, breathtaking Golden Age indeed. D and D used to (in the early 80s) be a BIG game [B][U]in the entire gaming industry!!!!!![/U][/B] THAT was the Golden Age. You could walk down the street and ask a random person if he knew about D and D and if he knew someone who played it, and he's probably say yes on both counts. MANY D and D and D and D-like movies came out [U]ANNUALLY[/U]. One of the biggest coalitions on the planet at that time, the religious right, came out against D and D and it was Big News. It was like the World of Warcraft craze that hit a decade or so ago. Back then average people would know about the game even if they hadn't PLAYED it. It doesn't look like you were born until the 80s (from your profile), so I can understand your difficulty in understanding my point. But I lived thru D and D's Golden Age. There was a buzz about. Ordinary people in all walks of life knew about the game and had an opinion about it. [U]It wasn't just the top dog in a nigh-irrelevant niche market. [/U] [/QUOTE]
