[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4528426, member: 70778"] The problem is when some hear anime, either in bad or good when relating to D&D, they want/think it all, from DBZ super saiyans, to Karas, from Tranzor Z to Gundam.... It really doesn't all fit, and even some of the things people try to classify as anime based are really not, and just happen to be oriental such as the mythology. Like your quivering palm is real, not something just from anime. So maybe by not classifying it wrong may help go over, as I also like monk concepts, but not so close to say Kantarou from Tactics.... I do not disagree that a majority play D&D just for the name and all that comes with it from those of us through the decades that played it and made it grow to what it has become. I am pretty sure most new players get attracted solely for the name, and likewise it is the very name that may turn many others away. I really think that some do want anything from D&D, so long as it has D&D written on it. :( Yes, thanks for specifically stating what you want and feel D&D has left out for [B]your[/B] fun, no matter what myself or others may disagree with you on. (like heavy anime influence) Maybe somewhere in the future it will help someone see what is the correct course of action for making something for everyone, be it the amalgam game of everything inclusive, or seperate games for specific things.
