[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 7667727, member: 18182"] If you love the D&D game, would you like D&D t-shirts? Action figures? Posters? Movies? (Awesome) video games? Sure, not everybody cares about all of that. But I want it. Part of my enjoyment of Star Wars is the many ways I can enjoy the universe. I didn't stop with the original film, I've got Star Wars geekery all over the place. Same with DC Comics and other brands I love. D&D is lagging behind the curve here, and I'm excited they are trying to catch up. And, as stated tons of places, in this thread and elsewhere, the game itself doesn't bring in that much revenue. It's the core of the brand, without which the rest doesn't work, but it isn't a money maker. Without the "brand", there would be no game. Of course, without the game, there would be no "brand". Who doesn't? Marvel has been so successful recently that the entire Hollywood machine is trying to replicate their mad level of success. The D&D team is right to want and shoot for that level of success as a brand, and I want them to do it! A D&D movie made with triple-A level budget, writers, directors and actors? Yes please!
