[QUOTE="Corpsetaker, post: 7674310, member: 6776548"] Dominate the media where exactly??? I would say that I am pretty up to date with regards to gaming and the media and I don't remember 5th edition D&D dominating the media so could you refresh my memory when this happened? Let's break a few things down here because I don't see anything specific that D&D 5th edition has done that previous editions and other games hasn't done. 1: Forbes and USA Today- Okay so D&D get's a mention in these two. How many gamers read Forbes magazine exactly and what about the rest of the world and parts of the US that don't read USA Today? 2: New York Times Best Seller list: How long has Bob been a part of this list? Years and years so what makes D&D 5th edition any more special with regards to this? 4th edition actually made this list as well. 3: Playing Princes of the Apoc: Not everyone is playing this AP or any of the other APs. I would bet more people are playing homebrew games than these APs. Sounds a bit like smoke and mirrors to me if they are reporting everyone is playing these APs when in actual fact they aren't. What I am seeing here is a lot of spin and smoke and mirrors. There is nothing there that is unique to the current edition of D&D so trying to paint 5th edition as some ground breaking edition that has taken the media by storm is just flat out false and heavy wishful thinking. Have you seen D&D in the following: 1: Ads on TV. 2: Ads in cinemas. 3: Displays in video game shops such as Gamestop. (With SCL coming out you would think we would see some displays in these shops along with TV ads.) 4: Ads in comic books or magazines. 5: Ads on gaming sites. (Only one I've seen is for Fantasy Grounds). Where is this media storm from D&D that has dominated the scene? [/QUOTE]
