    WotC WotC President Chris Cocks is Hasbro’s New CEO

    No, just pointing out that your belief in the value of the context of Planescape doesn’t quite earn your rhetoric.

    WotC WotC President Chris Cocks is Hasbro’s New CEO

    Or I’m pointing out that it’s overall influence on the course setting to the game and it’s “size” are two different things and that neither are relevant to the question of what older settings will get conversions.

    WotC WotC President Chris Cocks is Hasbro’s New CEO

    So they strip-mined it for what they liked and then discontinued the product line? So how then was the product line bigger than the Dark Sun product line? Remember you said one was "big sure" but the other was "huge." If Planescape is baked into the current Forgotten Realms setting of D&D...

    WotC WotC President Chris Cocks is Hasbro’s New CEO

    It does matter in the context of a conversation where someone directly compares the two and says that the one that existed in exactly one edition was bigger and had more impact than the one that was translated across multiple editions.

    WotC WotC President Chris Cocks is Hasbro’s New CEO

    Dark Sun had enough influence to receive adaptation guidance for 3rd edition play in Dungeon Magazine and a full revision for 4e. Planescape had no such thing

    WotC WotC President Chris Cocks is Hasbro’s New CEO

    Kevin Feige did a wonderful job constructing an interconnected multifilm universe, but other franchise properties are not doomed to fail without someone like him. Nor would the MCU necessarily have been a failure with someone else at the helm. Before you knight the guy, don't forget he also...

    WotC WotC President Chris Cocks is Hasbro’s New CEO

    Sure, but from a business approach, is it worth it to step into a game space that your largest competitor has been succeeding for four years?

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I just don’t know that that is true. The Twitter handles of some of their supporters that I’ve encountered looked awfully familiar to me

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I guess the question I would ask in response to that is: did the edgelords we ignored all vanish, or is this what became of a group of them? Is this some of those edgelords rearing their heads again?

    TSR TSR CON is running at the same time as Gary Con in Lake Geneva

    Pandemic protocols or not; masks or no masks 399 people in THAT space is ridiculous.

    They’re building their site in blockchain architecture to enable crypto payments, not require them. Pretty sure they’ll still accept traditional currencies

    RPG Evolution: Looking Back on 2021's RPG Trends

    I can’t speak to 3.X prices anymore as I’ve purged everything except my $19.99 PHB and my $39.99 Star Wars CRB, but the $40 price point feels accurate. The 4e stuff I have left is mostly the 34.99 or 39.99 price point. I’ll also point out those 29.97 and 34.95 price points for 5e stuff are...

    RPG Evolution: Looking Back on 2021's RPG Trends

    I think my initial point may not have been as clear as I would have liked. Small or medium sized, Paizo is big for this industry. Bested definitely by WOTC, maybe by one or two others. Paizo and WOTC both still rely on freelancers, and both still struggle with paying a competitive wage. The...

    RPG Evolution: Looking Back on 2021's RPG Trends

    I’m not entirely sure how accurate this is. Paizo is one of the biggest in the industry in terms of visibility and retail presence and they’re still very much a smallish operation with less than 150 employees.
