Going Nuclear:1D&D

[Zardnaar]

Fans: Why can't we ever get a good D&D movie?
Also Fans, Movie coming out: Boycott Hasbro!

Tbh I don't care about a D&D movie. Still haven't seen the 2000 one.

I just realized the 1/13/23 is a Friday. Friday the 13th. Isn't that wonderful!

Essentially boycott everything WotC/D&D related.

No thanks. I won't.

Just remember monetization means nothing good

Yea... no, I don't agree.

Opt in feel free to do whatever you like. You do you.

Thanks for the permission?

You are supporting what turns out to be a Bond villain level evil corporation, but you are free to continue doing so

ROFLMAO
I agree on one thing, Bond is fiction, so is the statement that WotC is an evil corporation.

they seemingly want

Don't we ask people on this forum not to make statements for other people? Why do people feel it is appropriate to assume they know what WotC is going to do in the future and state it as if their opinions are fact?

Yup. I'm not letting this disgusting thing that's happening stop my Level Up games.

I'm currently running Wild Beyond the Witchlight for my home group. If the license stinks, I'll let that come to its natural end, and then probably cancel my DDB subscription and not buy the OneD&D rules.

I was going to buy OneD&D out of curiosity, but I have enough 5e D&D materials for three or four campaigns already stacked up. And my players will probably want not-D&D for the next campaign anyway. Walking away won't be all that difficult.

 

[ECMO3]

Gonna phrase this as politely as I can. Specifically I'm advocating burning 1D&D down to the ground and all the D&D branding. Thus includes online play, the movie, video games, new edition everything. If you play MtG you can make your own decisions.

Essentially boycott everything WotC/D&D related. If you're feeling motivated throw in Hasbro and MtG related.

And do it across all forms of social media, reddit, YouTube etc.

For me last time around it was Paizo this time around it's Kobold Press and everyone else.

Just remember monetization means nothing good.

Crush the 1.1, see them crumble before you, and to hear the lamentations of their CEO.

Boycotting is not the best way. Just deal with them like we did TSR from the 90. Have small time independents pirate everything.

Sure other big corporations like Kobold Press and Paizo will suffer for this, but that will open the door for a lot more from less established and offshore corporations.

Well I've got around 400 D&D items on the bookshelves. I'll just use them.

I mean, if the company is doing something crappy, voting with your wallet is the only real means you have for dealing with it.

Had I the disposable income, I would probably donate to some kind of legal defense fund to get this issue addressed too. Because it's BS and Hasbro/WotC should know that.

Should be clear this is just an opinion.

I'm not gonna lecture you over what you do or what you think is right.

It's WotC IP my money. You can do whatever you like with your money.

 

[ECMO3]

I don't think it's terrible for Hasbro to ask for royalties on people making a lot of money off their IP.

I don't think it is terrible to ask, but I also don't think it is terrible for people to simply steal Hasbro's IP when they do ask for royalties.
