[QUOTE="Summer-Knight925, post: 5363438, member: 80297"] are they dying? yes does that mean they cant be saved? no it can be done, what is needed is a wider....range of ideas perhaps? I could ask for a genre and you could tell me everything within, say steam-punk....of those that know what it is, they love it, who wouldnt? same with D&D, warhammer, ect. ect. its all about the social idea of it all when someone who plays halo all day is called names, staying up all night with friends eating junk food and, as a minor foot note, slaying a dragon, it brings fear, and fear is bad I am in no way saying any table top gamer is a coward, infact you are braver than most people who are "to afraid to play"...i know people like that im fine with who I am, so what if I spent homecoming night in undermountain? frankly, I dont care, I perfer to have choices, if skipping out on being stuck in a dark room with lots of people I see everyday and listen to music that makes me want to take a cheese grater to my face is "uncool" then fine...anyone who thinks that is lame D&D and games like that ARE SO COOL! like...they created "cool" as cool back when, not sure about that so dont quote me (someone is going to, I know) and the fact there are 11 pages of people talking about this, thats reason enough to know that it is not...just the market is hidden and everyone has their fingers in it...how many games are fantasy tabletop games? and scifi or other genres, but true Tolkien fantasy? lots more than you could name, games have been around and will be around, as technology advances, people will begin to see that the future is gloomy, light by computer screens...and then the escape will be tabletop games, mark my words (not really) the age of the table top is not dying! not yet! it will take all of humanity being wiped out by demons, aliens, an astroid, nuclear war, the creation a super disease, zombies, or unearthing dragons (reign of fire FTW) and even then, im pretty sure all of the said sentient beings play games, its just the awsome thing to do [/QUOTE]
