This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

My vote is for D&D: Throwback.

And I mean that in the best possible way.

So it becomes playable if I throwback enough vodka shots?

Well there's that underrepresented music demographic in D&D star fandom: Rap. If we called it D&D:Holla Back we might even get Jay Z to promote it. He was heavily involved in The Great Gatsby remake, you know.
:p

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Please, tell me someone with actual marketing experience is gonna put the brakes on this at some point.

Best name the PR folks could come up with, D&D 5th Edition-Start Bitching, tested poorly.

Ice T is apparently doing audio D&D books remember.... ;)
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Dammit D&D! Already with the soft drinks and rap stars... I give and I give but apparently you have already done it. What's left, wood burning sets and shrinky dinks?!
:mad:

I'll take the wood burning sets and shrinky dinks if it means I also get cartoons and action figures.

Okay, I read that as 'shrinky dicks' on the first pass, which suggested the marketing phrase, 'D&D Next! It's like ice water on your junk!'



Once my brain corrected itself, that gave me an idea: shrinky dink miniatures. Draw your character, and turn it into a plastic mini for the tabletop.

If the polystyrene sheets can survive a trip through a printer, you could copy any image you want onto them.

They do sell shrinky dinks for inkjets:

I've just been using binder clips as stands, but kind of interested in the stands they sell on their site. For larger figures, they probably wouldn't work.

Maybee they are teaming up with Pepsi as I just saw today a Pepsi: Next bottle a game member brought in and left by accident.

What happens if you spill Pepsi Next on your D&D Next? Do they alchemically combine to form a homunculus?
