Did the (extended) LotR trilogy?
I'm not looking for 'improvements' in TV/movie adaptions, I'm looking for a different medium for the story to be told in. And with books to TV/Movie that change is generally in the audio/visual realm.
And that's all due to a bad Apple... :p
I tried reading some of the BS novels, but it didn't mesh with me at the time. Maybe a TV series might change my view on that world...
This sounds a lot like change for change's sake to me. New blood does not equal good creative development, nor does it necessarily mean new ideas. Especially not in a corporate environment, something WotC/Hasbro clearly is. Nor is that necessarily mean that's something WotC/Hasbro wants or the...
As someone else pointed out, she didn't write anything on the D&D product 'Journeys through the Radiant Citadel', just on some monetized fan expansions (DMsGuild) for that product, which is imho a significant difference!
And to be honest, there are very few D&D products with 'great' writing...
Mind you, I'm not Canadian, but I've heard Canadian publishers trying to sell stuff in the US and folks in Canada trying to get stuff from the US complaining for decades! So it's not just something from the last two 'clown' years, the situation has become worse, but it wasn't great before either...
In a lot of business-to-business we increase prices normally yearly relative to the the Consumer Price Index (cpi) for whatever niche we're working in. Similarly, there are salary increases, etc. Sometimes there are no such increases, but those are generally due to market competition, but...
Don't forget that there are folks with tens of millions in just MtG assets, besides their other assets. There have been other 'shareholders' that were fans first and business people second that made a $#!& storm a while ago, they failed, these folks might fail as well, but they might win...
I suspect that they are not saying that they acting 'dumb', but that they are acting maliciously to line their own pockets, and that's a lot easier to prove with bonuses and stock sales (as those are tracked). And you don't have to be a rocket scientist or a diviner to know that certain actions...
It depends, so I gave it a 3. We're currently playing in Undermountain, and certain rooms are relatively safe, but there's still a change for wandering monsters (for which I throw), it also depends on how much they cleared out. Sometimes they do backtrack all the way to the Yawning Portal Inn...
While certain folks might complain about the secondary market because they are heavily 'invested' in there, I can see the perspective from pure Hasbro investors. But what I read in the short version, it doesn't sound like pure investors, more like folks heavily invested folks in MtG that have...
I'm more wondering how well it will do compared to something like Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, it has those same nostalgia awkward vibes...
This is not how I remember the cartoons of my youth, but it looks like fun!
Sidenote: The first Masters of the Universe (1987) movie wasn't much like the cartoon either...
I played maybe a month of WoW specifically back in 2005, to move to EVE Online. And I've played a lot of other (fantasy) MMOs before and after. And the reason I didn't stick with WoW didn't really have to do with the game system, it had to do with many shards vs single shard and player influence...
