[QUOTE="Trickster Spirit, post: 6535850, member: 6701829"] See I dunno, I was quite interested by the concept of a Numenera game, but then I actually saw it and realized I'm quite happy having left isometric games behind after BG2. Not familiar with Wasteland 2 but a Google image search reaffirms I'm just not a fan of that style. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I don't play D&D with minis. In a video game I don't want to view my character like I would pushing minis around a tabletop, I want to directly identify with them through 1st or 3rd person views. YYMV, of course. Well yeah, if Sweetpea hangs onto the rights there's no doubt about that. But if Hasbro does manage to wrench them away in court and turn them over to Universal as they're hoping to do, you bet your sweet bippy I'll go see that movie. It could be quite good if they get a halfway decent fantasy epic script - my dream is something similar in tone to Guardians of the Galaxy, with wizards and dragons instead of blasters and spaceships. Even if it looks like an generic fantasy flick they slapped the D&D brand name on I'll still likely buy a ticket, just to send a message with my wallet (not that that worked when I saw Serenity four times in theaters, mind you :(). True, but with D&D and Pathfinder sales both being minor compared to M:TG, and altogether negligible on the Hasbro scale, they're likely ignoring that crucial difference as it regards their plans for the D&D brand. They don't care about 5E books sales, they care about self-identified D&D fans in aggregate, and most Pathfinder folks [i]do[/i] consider themselves D&D players. Are Paizo fans really going to mass boycott a D&D movie or video game because it'll benefit WotC?* Maybe on internet forums but in the real world I doubt it! [SIZE=1]*Course they might boycott it because Sweetpea made it and it looks like $#!^, but that's just good sense...[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
