[QUOTE="Shasarak, post: 6536046, member: 94143"] Oh, yes if I was WotC I could certainly see his point that my DnD is no longer number 1. But as a Gamer I can look and see that DnD is ranking number 1 and 2. The number one issue that I have with blindly focusing on the "legal" trademark as the only definition of DnD is that if WotC slaps a DnD label on Monopoly then that becomes DnD and if it gets slapped on a line of My Little Ponies then they become DnD even though for all practical purposes they are not DnD. Not to mention the belief that even though DnD has been owned by three different companies and that no edition has been developed by the same lead designers and that none of them are compatible with each other yet they are all DnD while another game that is completely backwards compatible with DnD is somehow not DnD even though it uses all the same DnD rules except for mindflayers *cough*Cthulhu ripoff* just makes me scratch my head.
