Is it time to cut the war game roots of role-playing?

[2D8HP]

...Where I live now, there are 3 places where I can get RPG books, two gaming stores and a Barnes and Nobel. From the B&N, I can get D&D books, and Pathfinder books, and maybe one Shadowrun book...

.....raising awareness for game systems that aren't D&D comes down to word of mouth, because they can't compete with Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast for shelf/advertising space.

In the 1990's I remember B&N had almost no shelf soace for D&D (if any), but lots of Vampire, and other WoD stuff.
One time they had some Castle Falkenstein books (a gonzo gaslamp fantasy/steampunk setting game. I think you'd love it Anonymouswizard).

Anyway, just because D&D, and Pathfinder are the big dogs now, they weren't always, and may not be again (I certainly remember a time when three other games were more popular).

It's Bunnies & Burrows, right? Right?

Well... I did pay the 25 cent fee to take the shinkwrap off and read the rules.
