I believe CR has stated that they are aware of large story beats ahead of time, but that's so they can keep the game moving forward. It is certainly not scripted.
I still don’t think it was a specifically WotC ran production. It looks like there was some coordination to bring it to the D&D Adventures channel, but that’s it. I think that’s where the “After three successful seasons, the show was redesigned for television in collaboration with eOne and...
I completely get where you're coming from. Honestly, the Acquisitions Incorporated angle and level of humor is probably the best approach for something like this. I'm interested to see where they take it.
I'm sure it's going to be some sort of loose planes hopping kind of experience which will allow them to do exactly as you suggest with a light story strung over the top to tie it all together.
I'm not opposed to it. Especially since that means they won't be in Ravenloft forever (I just don't...
It's definitely extremely common now for gamers to want to only use content in their preferred rules repository, whether it be DND Beyond, Roll20, or Demiplane.
Genuinely, I think you need to take a step back and open up space for the possibility that maybe, just maybe, your worldview isn't...
Looks interesting, I suppose. I don't really get the obsession with Ravenloft, it just doesn't do much for me personally. I hope this does well though!
I really missed the old modules like this. Unfortunately the size of these makes it a no-go for me for physical versions, but I might back this for the digital.
I appreciate your walk back. As an English American Muslim, I get put into a lot of different buckets just because of who I am, so I appreciate that you can tell I'm not here to chant "USA, USA, USA," about everything.
Perhaps I should modify my statement and say that I would have liked to see...
Of course, it definitely takes a large committment of capital to enter a new market. The nice thing in the instance of MENA is that there is little to no presence of the tabletop industry from a local perspective, a double-edged sword if you will.
I don't even think they would need to localize...
Not that I know of, no. Does it skew that much?
That would be interesting! I've always wondered why gaming companies ignore North Africa and the Middle East as there is a large untapped market there.
Very good point. The conversion rate is going to make the ROI calculation a lot different...
I appreciate that you feel that way, but the market data shows that the majority of D&D's audience (the fans in "Fan Expo") is in North America. Forbes noted that 85% of D&D Beyond's registed userbase is in North America, I don't think that's a completely inconsequential statistic.
I think...
I don't particularly mean that they shouldn't do events outside America. I'm just surprised that something heralded as a big "D&D Fan Expo" isn't even in the country that hosts PAX, GenCon, and Gary Con. I never meant to make it come across that it was a zero-sum situation, I'm just surprised...
