[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 3883616, member: 40961"] I personally think that the next generation of roleplayers, and D&D as a hobby, are doomed. These are kids who have been trained by the games they play to have munchkin-ish, low roleplaying playstyles. I highly doubt that they will be able to unlearn the lessons that the games popular in their age group have taught, and unable to mature into real roleplayers. Yes, I am talking about the scourge that is Monopoly. Here we have a game that is almost entirely based around die rolling, with only a small amount of tactical decisions available to the players. The circular nature of the board trains them to be more accepting of campaigns-on-rails, and the focus on acquiring more and more money ensures that they will seek only power when playing other games. Characters are one dimensional, and lack variety in personality. When was the last time you saw a monopoly player really investigate what makes the boot different from the little dog? And its a [I]miniatures[/I] game [spits]. We're [I]really[/I] screwed. [/QUOTE]
