It's not going to capture the segment of the population that doesn't want to sit around in a room for four hours on the weekend, but D&D might need more radical changes to get them. It probably wouldn't look as much like D&D, and it might not be able to give us our robust four hour play sessions, if it changed like that.Also, I'm not sure there'd be a lot of demand for a D&D that looked like that anyway.In my mind, capturing the broader segment is more about making D&D accessible to those who care to access it. There is a large portion of the world that will never want to play D&D, and that has to be OK. To own a niche and to grow and define it should be enough. With lowered barriers to entry, anyone who likes heroic fantasy stories should be able to plug into a D&D game and have fun with it.That also means smaller, cheaper books, easier, speedier rules, and swearing off the need for add-ons like minis and cards and such (unless it's going to be ONLY about minis and cards and such).</blockquote>
