[QUOTE="DaveMage, post: 6236281, member: 10447"] Yep. But, to make D&D a viable endeavor for WotC/Hasbro, they really have no choice. It's going to be about the multi-platform brand rather than what may be in the best interest for the D&D PnP RPG player only. That's why, IMO, for the PnP RPG to ever really thrive again, it needs to be in the hands of someone other than WotC/Hasbro - which ain't happening. Frankly, I think this will be the last iteration of the RPG. Long term support for the PnP RPG will likely be minimal (though maybe not in the first few months), but support for the brand (other related products) will likely be strong in the short term so that WotC can really test the long term viability (and profit potential) of the brand. I'd guess that part of the reason for a more simpler base RPG is so that the rules can translate well to other platforms - board games, computer games, facebook games, etc. [/QUOTE]
