Message: <blockquote data-quote="tomBitonti" data-source="post: 6161855" data-attributes="member: 13107">The reason for including MMO's is that they are cited as an area influenced by D&D.  Eventually, Pathfinder will (I hope) have a MMO tied to Pathfinder.  (To an extent: The rules don't quite carry over.  We'll have to see how close Paizo manages to make their Online game to their Paper game.)Looking in the current product space, and looking at my recent purchases (in the last two years) I have:Rifts (MMO): Fantasy, Online; very limited roleplaying.  (Previously, Warhammer Online, Guild Wars 2, and World of Warcraft)Lots of Fantasy Flight (mostly 40K): Paper RPG; pretty far from D&DPathfinder Books, Supplements, and Modules: Pretty close to D&D, but not under the brand.Some perusal of Warhammer Books: Fantasy and Sci-Fi books; pretty far from D&D.  I mention the books because I did buy and read D&D books set in Greyhawk, Forgotton Realms, and Eberron, but I haven't in a while.Pathfinder Prepainted Miniatures: Pretty close to D&D, but not under the brand.  (Previously, I did buy the Hasbro prepainted miniatures)Lots of Metal Miniatures: Useful for D&D, but not under the brand.Dwarven Forge Tiles: Useful for D&D, but not under the brand.Lots of Dungeon Tiles: Under the D&D brand.  Quite generic, though.  See: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dungeon-Tiles-Dungeons-Dragons-Accessory/product-reviews/0786943483" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Dungeon-Tiles-Dungeons-Dragons-Accessory/product-reviews/0786943483</a>I did used to buy a lot of D&D rules, supplements, and modules from Hasbro, but that stream seems mostly dried up, and the most recent items (from the last two years) have been less and less of interest.Under the brand, but not purchased:Any of the recent board games, for example, Wrath of Ashardalon.  (Although, if I had more gaming time, as I did in earlier years, I'd probably get one or more of these.)  <a href="http://www.chessusa.com/product/CM-054.html?gclid=CJCfmZTLyLgCFRFp7AodE1UAFg" target="_blank">http://www.chessusa.com/product/CM-054.html?gclid=CJCfmZTLyLgCFRFp7AodE1UAFg</a>Other gaming items, for example, this, which I haven't quite figured out:<a href="http://io9.com/hasbro-announces-the-official-dungeons-dragons-kre-o-803289402" target="_blank">http://io9.com/hasbro-announces-the-official-dungeons-dragons-kre-o-803289402</a>I did see the original D&D movie, and (I think) the second one, but not anything recent.  I never watched any D&D cartoons.Net of all of this, based on my personal buying history, what I see is that I still am a buyer of role playing games and aids, but, in the core role playing space, the D&D brand has almost disappeared.  I have to factor out changes in my own tastes, but even with that, the D&D brand seems to occupy much less of the role playing space, and increasingly more of the board game and toy space.Thx!TomB</blockquote>
