[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4780403, member: 11821"] Well, it's not quite that. I don't even think enthusiasm about Dragon Age plays into it, to be honest. It's more like, "I have five or more editions of D&D, WFRP, Earthdawn, True20, and any number of other easily-adaptable fantasy and/or generic RPGs. What would a Dragon Age RPG give me that is (1) not easily reproducible in one of these; and (2) better enough that I'd want to both buy into a new system and convince my group to do the same, while putting our very enjoyable current games on hold." It's a hard sell, is all. A new fantasy RPG in a market that's glutted with fantasy RPGs? I'm skeptical, to say the least. CRPG tie-ins don't necessarily help, either - remember the Everquest and World of Warcraft TTRPGs? They didn't light the market on fire. Even if it's the best setting ever made, why would I need a new RPG for it? I don't think most of us have been given enough information to become excited about it. Right now, it's just another fantasy RPG with a tie-in. Now, with that said, I have a lot of faith in Green Ronin. They make some damn fine games, and if anyone can pull it off, they can. I'm skeptical, is all. -O [/QUOTE]
