[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6241943, member: 1"] I don't really get this thread. I'm not 100% sure DDN will be blockbuster, but the reasons given don't convince me. [LIST] [*]DDN is the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/hotgames.php"]most talked about RPG on the web[/URL] by any reasonable statistically significant measure. Anecdotal evidence is interesting, but it shouldn't take the place of data. I recognise however, that folks are strident about their own anecdotal evidence as it appears to be the whole world to them, and that conversation [I]exhausts[/I] me, so I'll leave it. [*]Repeated mentions of lack of focus in DDN playtests/surveys. I don't really know what that means. [*]Nobody knew who Monte Cook was just before 3E. Less than those who know who Mike Mearls is. [*]OSR is awesome, and cool, but unfortunately it's about 3-5% of the market. It's not a sweeping revolution; it's a prominent niche. It's a shame it's not more. [/LIST] I think the OP can be best translated to "the OSR folks I talk to don't like DDN". Which is fine; probably they don't. But it's important to realise there are other people. [/QUOTE]
