[QUOTE="WheresMyD20, post: 5708917, member: 60772"] I agree with PJ's post. (I'd give XP, but evidently I need to spread it around before giving it to PJ again) I voted that WotC didn't kill it, but they didn't save it either. The "Dungeons & Dragons" name is such a well-known brand that even people who don't know what an RPG is have heard the name "Dungeons & Dragons". I don't think the game was really in any danger because [B][I]someone [/I][/B]would have bought the rights to the D&D brand and kept the game around in some incarnation. If it wasn't WotC, it would have been someone else. WotC didn't really "save" D&D because there was never any real chance of D&D going away as long as table-top RPGs are financially viable. D&D was never in any real danger... except for the possibility that someone would buy the name and use it for a game that wasn't really D&D. (and some people feel this is what WotC did, but that's a whole different discussion...) [/QUOTE]
