It was designed for quick, easy games.D&D cannot possibly survive on casual fans. A game where you need multiple hardcover tomes to hold the rules? A game which requires one player to do substantial creative work each time you get together to play it? Even with the best VTT in the world, this is still a game which depends massively on its community of players. Most people do not learn D&D on their own, they rely on established groups and especially established DMs to bring them along.Without the community, D&D withers. At which point, heads will roll at Hasbro, the world will move on, and after a few years someone will come up with the bright idea of trying to engage the community... and the cycle will start over.</blockquote>
