[QUOTE="Humanophile, post: 124139, member: 1049"] [b]Re: It will SUCK. Trust me.[/b] I was a huge WW fan back when they had their series butchered by Spelling. Or rather, when I and everyone who already either played the game, or had heard of it and decided not to play thought the series butchered it. Friends of mine who hadn't played thought it kicked much ass, though, and I met players who came on because of it. So will we pull in many new roleplayers, or drama/theatre people into the FR? Not bloody likely, but the odds of those people not knowing about D&D/FR and already having a strong opinion there is pretty slim. Meanwhile, people who like the CRPG style game or who just think that models with big swords and one liners are cool will at least look at the FR game, and probably dump at least the cost of a PHB on it. I mean, if WOTC/Hasbro/whoever had a chance to make a truly brilliant FR series, I'd slap them for chosing this, but as is it's free advertising, and I doubt FR would be looked at by people interested in an epic anyways.
