[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 9613498, member: 9053"] I looked at Amazon for the top-selling Kindle books in the Fantasy genre, and I can see what the "rom-fantasy" folks are talking about. The top 20 books, full of "New York Times Bestseller!" and "Upcoming Film!" are pretty much all in that genre, and looking at them, I didn't see anything I wanted to read. I'm very glad Fantasy casts a broad shadow, and there are lots of books and authors I do like. What I do find interesting is that these super-popular books don't really look like D&D would be a good fit for them. It seems like there would be a market for a game targeting that kind of story as an entry point. I'm going to show my age by saying the last system I know of that targeted that style of play was Blue Rose. There must be something along those lines that's newer and an active line. I definitely see a market for this but I've no idea how to get those readers to know about RPGs. [/QUOTE]
