[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8224355, member: 59816"] I don't think they need nostalgia for it to sell, though. Current D&D fans will take a good solid look at anything they publish. For example, my kids (teenagers) would be thrilled for Dragonlance, and they've never heard of it. All you need to say is "A war with Dragonriders and a dragon-slaying lance set in a particular D&D world with evil dragon-folk that explode when you kill them". And they are IN. A lot of the audience would be happy to hear that it was popular back in the day and they'd check out the new product, without knowing what has been changed. As long as the new product is good and doesn't have anything offensive in it, they'd like it. Heck, I read the books myself 30+ years ago, and I played a few games of it somewhere around then, but if they updated it the way we've been talking about, I wouldn't have [I]known[/I] what was new and what wasn't without talking to people here about it. Updating it certainly wouldn't turn me off of it. [/QUOTE]
