D&D is its own genre that is most prevalent outside itself with fantasy video game RPGs because of the inherent feedback loop between them. Up until recently, the best example of D&D in media was Jackson's Lord of the Rings and even that fails under inspection.Of course that generation is trying the hack the game to death to do what they want -- it doesn't look like their fantasy. It doesn't look like anything, except D&D.</blockquote>
