WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

[Umbran]

LOL, I'd rather have someone competent than a petulant oligarch that's out of touch with reality.

Gimme a villain with style and grace, and a little bit of fencing skill.

I mean, we joke about the whole casual/hardcore/gatekeeping topic, but is there even a 'hardcore' scene for 5e?? I really just cannot see it, certainly not out of the box.

You would be wrong then.

No no WotC needs a Lee Iacocca.

 

[Umbran]

I dont see how it needs to be all or nothing, or that by providing one thing, additional things cannot also be accounted for.

There is an important term that applies here: Opportunity Cost.

Even as the 800 lb gorilla, WotC only has so much in resources. They cannot do everything that everyone wants. So, they have to pick and choose. Doing what you want means time and resources not doing something else.

The question is then whether that something else is more lucrative, or otherwise better for business, than doing what you want.

But just because you need something (or me) doesn't mean the fanbase at large does or that it is a good idea.

And that is exactly where that opportunity cost comes in.

They used to be angular, sneering, and bald...

Well OP you're right about Kobold Press.

Internet's first mistake was thinking Twitter matters. The second mistake is installing Twitter. Third mistake was using Twitter. Quality is down on WotC stuff anyway KP is is beating them there.

You would be wrong then.

What does that look like then? Honestly curious. Is it like, speed running adventures run by the book with minmax PCs?

What an unfortunate choice of example for a visionary leader

Kinda over these billionaires. 1917 is starting to make some amount of sense.

I'm thinking more along the lines of 1793.
