Sandy Collora is a guy who works in movies who's done a few short films about Batman and Superman that looked cool as 3 minute clips but everybody praises them like the man is a god and is proving that you can use the traditional costumes etc. I think the guy could be about the worst thing for a comic book movie but anyway... people latch onto these guys opinion and the majority of the time it seems to me personally that they are wrong and by a wide margin. While I agree that WOW and similar games have eaten into the RPG audience by eating up entertainment dollars but he seems to exaggerate the extent and his opinions on D&D development and where it is going should have as much weight as my own opinions because we don't work in the company and our insights should both be seen in the same light: idle speculation. Sure, he is more educated on the matter but how long has it been since he worked at the company? Another opinion of his that I think is wrong is his opinion on various campaign settings for D&D being a part of TSR's downfall when you look at other companies like WHite Wolf and it is THEIR bread and butter. I'm sorry, Ryan Dancey is a lot of smoke & mirrors.</p></blockquote><p></p>
