25 years of historical reminiscing, plus some iffy prognostications for the next 25 years: Wizards of the Coast didn't open 2,002 retail stores in 2002, D&D-branded Deep Dish pizza ovens didn't make their way into 90% of gamer's homes in 2004, no D&D movie was ever a box-office smash, and the 4th edition was released a few years before 2019.
