[QUOTE="malkav666, post: 5781745, member: 70565"] I imagine the D&D brand is very important to those who own it and make money from that ownership. Its not really that important to me personally. The word D&D is what my group uses to describe our Saturday meetup. We could be playing Warhammer 40k and it would still be D&D day. Kind of like calling a tissue a Kleenex to me. The brand D&D seems to have recognition in pop culture and that makes it important in the sense that for many it will be their game as because its a known variable. But once people start playing games and decide whether or not it is a hobby the think they want to pursue that the brand name has less potency than the contents of the game. But thats not to say that the D&D name does not cause any type of nostalgia for me. Because it does in fact do just that. But after recent events I am sad to say that nostalgia alone will not get me on board with 5e. It needs to be good. love, malkav [/QUOTE]
