You certain? I could swear your a soviet.

Simple in it is easy to determine what is which... Or simple in who thinks they are better than the other? If the latter, my partner has a worse one...they are both Welsh and German... Do you know the difference between a headache and a migraine???

Apparently forever. I still have the OD&D box... Or if we go later...I still have the original AD&D books, the BX books (I think I only have the expert box, the basic box long ago having bit it), BECMI, more sets of AD&D books, Star Frontiers, Gamma World (1e, 2e, and I think 4e)...

Wow, I do the same thing with P+ and Prime...though I'm too lazy to cancel and resubscribe constantly, so I have it always subscribed and probably waste money many times when I'm not watching.

I think the Video games were considered even lower canon than the cartoons and even the novels. I think they were lower on the canon totem pole than even the comic books and each game varied in how canon it was considered (for example, I think the Force Unleashed was entirely non-canon, though...

How do you know that was Lucas and not Filoni who brought Maul back? (may have been Lucas, but Filoni had far more control over the cartoon if I recall, and Ahsoka...his pet...was more a pure Filoni thing than a Lucas thing, along with many of the other introduced characters of the cartoon)...

I think the movie looks fun. That's a good joke as well...Wifi. I hope she has her Hubi/Husbandi as well.

And then further pushed away when they decided Rogues had to suddenly be good at fighting and damage in 4e (strikers) and continued that idea into 5e. Why be a Fighter when you can be just as good (with a few less HP) but also have double the ability in some skills and basically get mostly...

From an investor viewpoint, you don't have to be shovelling money, but a fan that does not result in some money coming in somehow (and there is always an angle to get a fan to spend money, whether it's just a sticker, a t-shirt, begging a friend to make an account and then seeing ads that pay...

I think the general agreement (even from me) is that there are more players (or fans, however one wants to put it) of D&D today than there were of the past. The disagreement comes in how many players/fans there actually are. And yes, we've spend 10 pages discussing whether that 85 million...

I don't know. I only know my numbers are derived more from how many have played (and the 1:5 ratio has a good backing all the way back to 2000. It was estimated that the average group was 5 players, a DM with 4 Others playing PCs. Encounters, Challenge Ratings, Experience...etc...have all been...

If we use my definitions from earlier, it does not necessarily mean players. It means those who are avid, excited, participants of the hobby. That could mean anything from players, to those who read the novels, to those who simply participate in other ways that support the hobby. From an...

It depends. If they had 50 million fans...1/3 of 50 is 16.666 approx million fans. Average price of a movie ticket ranges around 11-16 USD...which we'll say is around 13 (probably more on the low side than not, I'd say it is probably more around 14 or 15 for a median...but we are giving it...

That's an article from Sept 2024 and appears to be using more akin to my numbers. Or is the idea that they increased the number of fans by 35 million in a matter of 3-4 months (time when the Beyond article seems to have been posted which was Dec. 2024). Those numbers don't seem to add up...or...

Yes. This is where the PR fails for investors. If only 50% of those fans had just gone to their D&D HaT movie just once!...they would have made 200 million. Thats without even the general public, or anyone else going! As per their numbers. Their fans definitely are not as avid of fans...
