[QUOTE="Ty, post: 3931254, member: 16824"] Ah, I see what you're saying. That's what I was trying to say about WotC missing the boat here while at the same time acknowledging that my view is pretty heretical. I don't think D&D necessarily means always sitting at a table with an entire group. I know this is not everyone's idea of D&D but if they are serious about expanding ALL aspects related to increasing participation in D&D by non-D&D players, one aspect they are missing out on is the online gaming community. Although it would not be nearing as immersing as the "real" PnP D&D, I do know that people who are not "gamers" who have played NWN2, WoW, etc., often ask me about D&D. They rarely start gaming in a PnP version though because of various different reasons but they express a certain amount of interest in it that isn't captured by WotC currently. I think a computer-based game/mechanism could increase the pool of potential players and the cross-migration of PnP to an online game and vice versa. I mean seriously, according to many of the posters here, WoW is a serious passion of theirs. Why let WoW capture a market segment if you don't have to? [/QUOTE]
