[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7809182, member: 6802378"] D&D is crunch, LofT is fluff, D&D is a LEGO box where you can use the piece to build new and different things, and LotR is a snow globe, beauty, but only to be watched. D&D is superheroes saving the day, LotR is epic+tragedy. D&D is finding a new surprise tomorrow, LotR is crying for the lost past. And today you don't need buy books to get the lore, because reading wikis is enough. * How do you imagine the plot of the failed sequel "the new shadow"? Tolkien had got some ideas, and I like the concepto of young generations with the full stomach like to play being "bad guys" because they don't know what is suffering hunger, fear and injustice...(but if you are a nerd suffering school bullying). * TSR had got the copyrights of Conan the Barbarian, and those titles are forgotten. * I like the idea of something like the worldscape from Pathfinder, a demiplane to allow crossovers with other franchises. (Hmmmm, how would be a crossover between Gamma World and M.A.S.K?, oh sorry,this is another matter). Maybe this "arena" world could be the next setting, perfect to introduce the D&D version of Hasbro franchises. [/QUOTE]
