what if the character you bought already played the adventure you bought?

Obviously the had to sign an adventure NDA not to talk about the adventure ... aka Modify Memory.

I think the selling point is NFT! NFT! NFT! and that's about it. The idea that NFTs are like printing money is embedded now and so everyone's trying to get on board. Mostly these guys all sell this stuff to each other.

The big flaw I see in this scheme from an NFT perspective is that to make it work you need to have people who actually want to play the game, and not just trade NFTs.

It's also seems to be a backdoor cryptocurrency pushing scheme. Characters, items etc. are purchasable with specific types of cryptocurrency only. At least that's what I gleaned looking at the actual documents.

Isn't this the same company that fragrantly steals people's D&D artwork for use as NFTs, and then quietly deletes/changes it if the artist raises enough of a fuss?

Beyond the shameless grifting, these NFT bozos are just so bad at what they do. We deserve a better class of criminal!

Unless the mastermind behind this scheme is a honest-to-goodness Beholder, I'm not impressed.

NFTs aside, I can't even understand what the alleged appeal of this would be. Buying a leveled-up MMORPG character makes sense on some level, because the alternative is to grind it yourself. But in TTRPGs, if you want to have a 17th-level wizard...you can just make a 17th-level wizard.

They neither know nor care, nor do they do any research.

The gameplan is to create a business plan that gets rubes on the line thinking this will be the thing that convinces normal people to get into crypto so that they (the rubes) will be able to make money on. Only right after this thing goes live, the creators will take all the start up money, throw it into a literal money laundering site, run off with the money, and four months later, the Feds will track them down with ease and indict them.
