[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7755031, member: 6796661"] Not long ago, I would have been in your chorus, but I have to say that I enjoy watching my son and his friends compete in Fortnight and watching some of the recorded Twitch videos that some of the celebrity players post to their YouTube channels. At some point in the past, I image some father shaking his head at his son, asking incredulously: "So, you are going to the field to just WATCH *OTHER* people kick a ball around? Are you not going to play? And people are PAYING for this? What's this world coming to‽" I see many avenues for D&D as paid entertainment and even competitive paid entertainment. D&D provides a system for improv drama and/or comedy and there are groups making money doing this. It doesn't take too much of a stretch of one's imagination to see WoTC developing a separate competitive-play rulebook. You could organize battle-royale, last-man-standing, "meat grinder" sessions. You could also take the Adventurer's League Epic convention style of play and adjust the rules to make it a competitive game. I would love to participate in and/or watch a well-run competitive Epic.
