    I was going to put 'THE D&D TABLETOP' (Caps all day no AFK) as a vote option. Too much?
    I pretty much agree with the brand value of the current name but if Unity really opens up the feature set for the developers, I'm interested to see how they convey that to the uninitiated.

    It's the agnostic bit I had trouble with. I couldn't understand why you equated Fantasy with a non commitment to a religious belief system. And I'm not convinced that the word Fantasy doesn't encompass the other genres that you mentioned. None of them are real, so fantasy pretty much sums them all up to a greater or lesser degree. I think also Fantasy is more evocative of the kind of games that FG supports. Virtual doesn't conjure up the same kind of images in my mind at all.

    I'm with the majority of posters, so far. I think changing the name would not be beneficial and indeed could be detrimental to sales. It's like when they changed Marathon bars to Snickers bars - what the hell was all that about? Anyway, I can't see any particular reason to change the name at all. If it was absolutely needed then add a numeral, otherwise I think it can sail on regardless.

    Is what we are playing real? If not then it's fantasy. ;P

    I just call it Unicorn, because..you know.. unity and mythical. It was my joke with Doug, and it stuck.

    Coloured themes could make it a pink unicorn.

    Just as 5E D&D just went back to "Dungeons & Dragons" I love that FG3 just went back to "Fantasy Grounds". Don't change it.
