[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 8870327, member: 25619"] Yeah, somewhat similar for me. I’m a hard core D&D fan, who’s introduced dozens of players to the game (5 of whom became DM’s of their own games). But I’ve been off WotC current editions, for the most part, since dropping 4e after trying it for a year - since about 2008. Currently where WotC gets money spent on me (more often by gifts for me than my own purchases) are merch and non-D&D “merch games” like Dungeon Mayhem. That and DriveThruRPG sales of previous edition materials. Third parties, like Noble Knight for old stuff I collect and small independents like Raging Swan on DriveThruRPG, get far more of my $ than WotC. I will stream the new movie, though expect it to be bad (“D&D: Wrath of the Dragon God” is the only D&D movie I appreciate, and it’s clearly a B movie at best). I’d be shocked if it’s as good as the Willow series, or the Witcher series. Seems like D&D should be a series, not a one-off movie … If they have a decent D&D PC or Xbox game with real 6e rules, turn based for a whole party either single player or multiplayer, and showing me the dice results so I can see how 6e works - a game like Pathfinder: Kingmaker or Solasta but for 6e - I’d definitely buy and play. Even more so if the UI is solid (like PD:KM). But if it’s “D&D brand not D&D rules” like Dark Alliance, not buying. I gave Dark Alliance like 3 hours of multiplayer time on Xbox Game Pass ... I assume that level of “meh, gave it a shot, hard no” can’t be profitable for WotC. I assume that product was a commercial failure, but who knows? [/QUOTE]
