The “make the world better” activists commonly have resolutions added to the proxy for shareholder votes. Very rarely do these ever get passed and never seen where this helps the stock price. I also am not aware of these types of activists being large investors. (The counter proof to this is...

One thing is that today in a very red market, my Hasbro shares are doing well.

https://freethewizards.com/ Activists explaining their case.

The activist’s theory (and this is a common one) that the sum of the parts is worth less than two stand alone companies. That WoTC’s valuation is dragged down by the lower numbers for the rest of Hasbro and that without WoTC the rest of Hasbro would be forced to do better. The Board (and...

That it deliver what it advertises, so I can buy what I am looking for and not waste time and money (or both).

I have a basic issue of the critics assuming the mantle of all Asians (or Chinese or whatever) when we are talking about a Canadian guy from Toronto looking at it from their lens. I lived in China for 5 years and if you think the stereotypes are bad in OA, you should see the historical dramas...

I summarize the current issues with issues as conversations that used to pretty much only occur in colleges spilling over into social media where the level of discourse is raw and people discussing issues can be poorly matched in ability to express themselves. Under bright lights in public...

Dragon Heist is fine. Low level and set in a huge and famous city. Somewhat of a railroad but I think that is more a nod to having a cohesive adventure to play in such a big place. They also tried to bring in a decent number of of iconic FR characters. My current campaign (I think at the two to...

Over time, WoTC has made the writing teams for their books larger and larger. This has resulted in really disjointed adventures as it is extremely obvious that different sections of the books are written by different teams. Very often each section foreshadows some big things that is just not...

That is what happens when posting away from my book. Yes, Sword World. I have the 1st rulebook to version 2.0.

I just preordered the Goblin Slayer RPG: https://amzn.to/3nxVgmW I am not going to apologize for the anime (the first episode establishes how bad goblins are via a rape scene - obviously not fully shown as a TV program but no doubt what is happening). Hopefully this thread will not be filled...

I canceled my gift set preorder a few weeks ago when the details of the changes came out. Removing things and not adding anything from the two existing books and the monster book did not seem to have much new. When the monster book is available on its own I will look at it then.

I run one weekly game where most of the players are ones I played 1e with 40 years ago. The rules are 5e, but the feeling is like back then. I find the key is the XP system tilted towards killing monsters in 3e, not getting treasure. But the 5e rules make it clear that the intent is overcoming...

WoTC disclaimer says “may include” and then scolds themselves in the cases it is there. Does not say anything else, there is zero pointing at creators or the company other than a general statement.

Waterdeep is an oppressive society run by secret rulers that does not even allow self defense if you are attacked. Lots of moralizing up topside, but many families have business connections in Skullport down below. Quite possible that The Xanathar actually runs the place. The secret ambitions...

As has been pointed out, WH 40K lore is all about why the models fight each other. I don’t find the Imperium to be bad guys in comparison to all the others that are being fought against. All the different factions are racists that hate everyone else and have their entire societies devoted to...

Room sharing on business trips is not illegal in the USA and happens. I have always refused when it is a business trip, but it does happen.

Joe came to the last Gary Con that was in person and he came to game as in he was in games most of the time there and all the people that had him at their table pretty much said he was a gamer like everyone else. He does have a t-shirt company that is linked to D&D (death-saves.com), so he is...
