Ryan Dancey interview on Fear the Boot

[Napftor]

That really was one excellent hour spent. Dancey's comments are always worthy of a listen.

Let me echo what others have said here: this was a good interview, and very well worth an hour to listen to.

I agree it was a good inteview. Very informative.

But...was I the only one who thought he made the outlook for P&P games sound pretty bleak?

 

[GlassJaw]

Good stuff. It really picks up at about 48 mins, which is when he starts talking about the state of the industry and electronic gaming.

I stand and applaud, fantastic listen, time very well spent!

And, I think I'll have to look up "the secret lives of gingerbread men" at GenCon this year...

Only if you publish them - not if you play them.

I hate talk radio - is there a text transcript somewhere?

I don't think so. This isn't NPR.

Great interview! I was also very interested in the market research WoTC did on people who play/buy games. The fact that they said they didn't include +35 year olds was interesting, since according to them these were not the people who buy the majority of the games.

I'm sure that will invoke some discussions among gamers here as to whether people believe tha to be true or not.

So, do ya?

 

[Kunimatyu]

Most of the D&D-playing 35+ year olds I know are far too set in their ways to purchase lots of new stuff.

Maybe it's all those lost braincells?
