The Business: Owlcat Made The Point For Me

This video about Owlcat's upcoming sequel to Rogue Trader made the same point I did about Conventional Play.

What did they say?

• Openly confesses that, as with Rogue Trader, it is the Vidya adaptation of the Tabletop product of the same name.
• Follows the same format of adaptation as RT, which is to translate the Tabletop gameplay structure to a single-player CRPG.
• Is specifically programmed to produce the intended gameplay experience of the Tabletop product, as RT was, without worry about faggotry on either side of the Referee's screen. (Until the Spiffing Brit proves how perfectly balanced it really is.)
• Will actually get played, unlike the Tabletop products.

Doubt that last part? You better believe most of the folks who bought it either never played it, or can't keep folks playing it because it's not D&D.

Will this succeed? Yes, it will. That means the next one will be Deathwatch, letting you make up your own Space Marine while you have your Kill Team do things for the Ordo Xenos somewhere in the Calixus Sector that the Traders and Inquisition couldn't handle.

With that will come the full confirmation that Conventional Play is better, cheaper, easier, and more accessible in Vidya than Tabletop because you actually get to play the damned game as intended, you play when you want, for as long as you want, without needing to Schedule Your Fun.

The Real Hobby cannot avoid the comeback because it will become increasingly obvious that Vidya will be better for Conventional Play going forward.
