[QUOTE="Ranger REG, post: 1430749, member: 533"] Maybe I have a stale, but macabre, dark sense of humor, but it looks like a set of master plans to spread and convert the pagans into the Church of d20-ology. :lol: Hmm. Trying to teach the basic roleplaying concept of [i]D&D.[/i] That would be a long rough road ahead considering that it is rules-heavy, and yet gamers in 1998-1999 did not want the game to be "dumbed-down" or simplified. BTW, is Wizards going to revive TSR's ... uh ... "choose-your-own path" adventure novel line (or somesuch)? One more thing ... shouldn't Wizards at least once make a commercial promoting [i]D&D[/i]? And I don't mean product placement, like they did in the [i]GE[/i] commercial and in the final episode of [i]Buffy.[/i] I remembered them airing [i]Magic: The Gathering[/i] commercials even though they no longer do so in my area, but not once did they aired a [i]D&D[/i] commercial, IIRC.
