[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 3288022, member: 326"] Hi delericho! :) But thats the point. If you don't market it as 'the' D&D, then it probably won't be taken seriously. I mean, phil reed just introduced me to the D&D Board Game, I'd either never seen it or maybe I had seen it and casually disregarded it as anything worthwhile. So, different from the original D&D which was actually a boxed set! :p Hands up how many gamers here already use miniatures in their game - a large percentage I would imagine, and how many of those use a battle mat or similar to place them on. Basically all we are adding really are some cards which just describe skills, magic items and spells - to save people from even having to write anything down. I don't see what you are saying here though? Is it about versatility? Never played M:tG myself and I don't even know what DDM is/are. :confused: But I just want to stress that I don't see the game becoming card based, just that it would use cards as handy reminders, removing the need for paper and pencil, which is exactly the way they are used in the D&D Board Game. Don't be daft mate, of course not! :) Thats okay, I'd have enjoyed arguing with you on the matter anyway.
