#2lissaApr 10, 2004 17:59:43 | 1. It was an alternative to D&D. 2. Who knows? 3. It was advertised a lot and they had several worldbooks for it. |
#3zombiegleemaxApr 12, 2004 20:47:36 | where was it advertised outside of Dragon? I talked with J D Wiker about advertising on mainstream media for WoTC products. He said they don't plan to advertise D20 Future hoping word of mouth carries the day. Good luck with that!! |
#4lissaApr 13, 2004 22:06:43 | Check out the D20 system sci-fi board. They're already talking about it and wondering what it will have inside. So it should be interesting to see how much interest D20 Future will generate. |
#5zombiegleemaxMay 05, 2004 7:43:27 | On a sci fi board is a good start, but it won't generate a single more player than without advertising. The opportunity boat is leaving the WoTC dock!! |
#6ranger_regMay 06, 2004 4:29:19 | Hmph. Other than product placement -- like in the GE commercial -- I've yet to see a 30-second TV commercial advertisement pitching D&D since the start of the new millenium. In fact, I've yet to see ANY other RPG company advertising their wares on TV. If WotC willing, they should shell $2 Mil for a spot on Thursday's Friends series finale episode. That's about as much it would cost to air a commercial during the Super Bowl (but Janet Jackson showing her puppy is free). |
#7zombiegleemaxMay 06, 2004 20:43:26 | Who is in charge should consider shelling out the money somewhere along the line. I guess they are satisfied with the market as is. I think a young marketing rep wanting to move up could hatch a plan to advertise which would bring in the bucks!! Hope there is one out there. |
