D&D as a Brand has also been growing on its own every quarter as well recently... This is why I have doubts about attributing the significant year-on growth to the D&D film: I find it hard to make a correlation between a lackluster film that struggled to attract casual audience eyeballs, yet...

They do make a mention: https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/54787/wotc-digital-gaming-down-q2 A healthy bump in Digital Revenue could account for an overall 74% jump. Digital has big ROI for the D&D brand. There's a reason that they are bullish on BG3 for next quarter. That game has the...

No actual proof of that whatsoever. Did any Hasbro or Wotc exec say anything to that effect? Is there an established metric that can be pointed to to back this claim up? If not, then this is pure speculation and spin. How well? Revenue numbers in dollars please.

Please provide the Honor Among Thieves streaming revenue numbers that show this assumption to be correct. You have no evidence to make this connection. Please cite the hard numbers that empirically show this. Hasbro did explicitly say that they did a $25m write down because HaT did not bring...

For Who? Do you have the Hard numbers for Revenue in dollars for D&D Honor Among Thieves. What does that mean for Revenue in dollars? What does that mean for Revenue in dollars? It's also common knowledge that they only get around 50% of VoD rentals. We know that HaT Lost Money for...

Nobody is talking about the D&D franchise as a whole. Completely Irrelevant to this discussion. This is about One Film: Honor Among Thieves. The movies production budget debt had to be dealt with. On the Hasbro side; HaT Lost Money. IMO: If Hasbro didn't parse the $25m write down on HaT for...

The positive word of mouth was certainly a help. But Strong Streaming =/= Breaking even. Let alone turning a profit. I don't know about Paramount. But it is not mythology that it hurt Hasbro: https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/54787/wotc-digital-gaming-down-q2 Streaming helped, but not...

While the level of crunch based on seeing the character sheets/Cards, and the reddit thread, it seems about what I thought it would be crunch wise. But... I thought they would do it with a trimmed down d20/5e math core mechanic so that they could tie into existing d20 system familiarity...

How did I miss this wonderful thread? In no particular order of unpopularity: Fudging die rolls is a degenerate practice. Period. It's bad enough when cheating payers do it; GM's that indulge in this foul practice need to be called to account! Most "Professional" RPG designers have their...

In my opinion; 4e did not address the underlying complexity of the system, and SR6 is a dud because it continued that trend. It makes sense because SR as an IP has nothing to lose. In my opinion; The fondness for SR is almost exclusively for its setting at this point. But it is a well liked...

In Paramounts defense: That was out of their control. In my opinion; they could have still saved themselves truckloads of cash by going through the script with a fine toothed comb and cutting out needless expenditures...

There was nothing wrong with 2-3e SR that couldn't be fixed. Catalyst went in the wrong direction - they changed the success number for the die pools, but never addressed any of the underlying complexity of the system that was the main issue for players. I agree that there is a happy medium...

Goldstein and Daley were the Writer/Directors for the film. The film went into production based on the new draft of the script that they wrote. In my opinion; The movie didn't need to be as long, nor as expensive as the released film, if some fat and lots of unnecessary CGI was cut from the...

In my opinion - the movie was about 20 minutes too long. The writers were given too big of a budget. The Paladin character was not needed. The whole underdark sequence was not needed. The Barbarian/Halfling subplot didn't need to be there. They could also have saved a lot of cash by toning...

Good to know. I found 3E/PF1 a bit too much for me and mine. Obviously there is a market for that level of crunch though.

Having the rules - but not having played it; PF2 came across as a game that could get very fiddly on the PC side as you leveled up. Do you have a sense of what the difference would be playing with automation vs. over the table without? I know a guy that just bought a large flat screen tv...

I only mention Mario's VOD sales in highlighting your faulty comparison. My exact Quote: Where I did 100% err was in my next paragraph of questions, specifically this: The /Streaming was a mistake, as it allowed you to grab onto the addition of '/Streaming' as a way of avoiding my...

An apples and oranges reference at best. The rankings have no monetary context. You are taking the VOD revenue of a 1.3billion mega-hit, and trying to infer a correlation via rankings to a film with far less audience pull, that fell short around 100m in its box office run. Then supply some...

^THIS^ And yes, Mario and John Wick are dominating. Here is a site that does VOD rankings: https://flixpatrol.com/#tab-rent-or-buy How about we hold those touting these VOD & Streaming ranking numbers to the same standard Zardnaar was earlier in the thread when we were talking about box...

Anyone can play that game: Go back to May, when Mario and HaT first dropped on VOD, and compare their ranking then. And what does the ranking mean in actual sales numbers? (I'll circle back to this.) Also revenue is not the same as profit. Just like movie theatre revenue - The VOD service...
