[QUOTE="SmokeyCriminal, post: 7231201, member: 6876146"] Ya it's really curious how not only do individual people have different thresholds but also how some genres/IPs are given different amounts of leeway. I'ts funny that you mention football and golf tho because there is a game called Bloodbowl that is a football game but each team is a different fantasy race Elf/Dwarf/Orcs, and is turn-based and the only thing that resembles football is that you're on a football field and there is a football that you have to take to the end zone to score points. And there is a new golf game coming out soon that is an RPG golf game. I personally consider them a 'football game' and a 'golf game'. Then there is games like Mario Bros. which has Mario World, Mario RPG, Rabbits+Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy. All of them completely different genres of video games but also all of them are equally "Mario games" Batman has gone from a Comic to, cartoons, to side-scrolling video game, to movies, to Arkham series, to Telltale, and they're all considered just different aspects and forms of interaction with the Batman IP. Personally, I would consider a Telltale D&D game as equally D&D as the TOEE video game, or the D&D movies and cartoon, or all the D&D books, or Critical Role and Acq Inc, or any of the Editions. To me they're are all just different aspects of what D&D is and different forms of interacting with the D&D IP. I think it would be beneficial to D&D, and by extension to all of us, if we showed D&D that we'd allow it space/permission to grow and expand. And not feel like we [I]need it[/I] to only be [I]this thing[/I], or that it can only stray [I]this far[/I] or else we won't accept it. [/QUOTE]
