[QUOTE="TalonComics, post: 1033996, member: 60"] I don't you'll D&D ever in Wal-Mart stores because W-M still fears the stigma of "devil woreshippers" that D&D still has the burden of. Remember, this is the same chain that forces some CDs to censor it's content before they'll sell them in-store. The problem with modeling advertising and releases made by TSR in the 80's and early 90's is that the same company went out of business doing some of those things. I think splitting your fanbase by creating a basic and an advanced set would be a major mistake and would be just mimicking the problems TSR dealt with. The trick to making D&D less complicated to beginner players is have knowledgable players teach the beginning players the basics. WotC needs to be just as aggressive with D&D as they are with M:tG. ~D [/QUOTE]
