    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player’s Handbook is ‘Fastest Selling D&D Book Ever’

    How about VALUE though. Every week or month a new monster or item is added for FREE to anyone who has a subscription to the a pass or something. The pass costs you....let's say...$1 a month. Or, how about, we start a small section of fan films and fan fiction that can be uploaded directly to...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player’s Handbook is ‘Fastest Selling D&D Book Ever’

    You are thinking like someone who is a player...not the board members. Consoles are a prime example....though no one made the connection previously. Xbox sold somewhere around 60 million xbox ones. Now, a LOT of those are actually not used. In fact, over half of them are probably not used on...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player’s Handbook is ‘Fastest Selling D&D Book Ever’

    Lots of ways to monetize it, some that people haven't even imagined yet. If I can make just $10 off of each 85 million member fan, or average that (you know, some are whales, some are microbes)...that's 850 Million right there. Who isn't willing to spend $10 on their favorite game (I mean...

    TSR How Did I Survive AD&D? Fudging and Railroads, Apparently

    Slightly tongue in cheek. Do your best to KILL THEM ALL!!! Your villain knows their abilities...he can exploit that to KILL THEM ALL!!! Make it the old school grinder. It's the module they will NEVER FINISH!!! Every attempt will have a TPK!

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player’s Handbook is ‘Fastest Selling D&D Book Ever’

    You can say that, but that's not what investors are going to say or see. ANYTHING...and I mean...ANYTHING....with enough numbers can be highly monetized. It's one big reason for Beyond. You may think it can't happen...I'd give it a 50/50 chance of actually happening. Not sure how (there's...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player’s Handbook is ‘Fastest Selling D&D Book Ever’

    Several things... 1. Walmart and Target take time. Sometimes it takes one or two week (sometimes longer) for an item to get on the shelves. For example, video games sometimes get on the shelf the day of release, but I have seen it take several weeks at times for a video game to get on the...

    Pathfinder: The Dragon's Demand Reveals New Trailer, Kickstarter Launching Soon

    I'm not quite certain how to leave it as you have to commit to the campaign (at least a little bit) to comment there. I AM tempted to maybe back it at the lowest amount just for the coins though (but once again, it has a little blurb that unless you are copper level you can't even do that until...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player’s Handbook is ‘Fastest Selling D&D Book Ever’

    Of course it's hype. However, when people complain about investors pushing WotC to monetize D&D MORE...this is why they do it. Heck...I KNOW what the gig is and what's happening, and even I get frustrated with how little money comes out from these numbers...(and I like to see myself as one of...

    Pathfinder: The Dragon's Demand Reveals New Trailer, Kickstarter Launching Soon

    I'd back it in a gold minute if it was on GOG. Right now it seems like it's only going to be on STEAM though...from all appearances. :(

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player’s Handbook is ‘Fastest Selling D&D Book Ever’

    Which is why I listed INDIVIDUAL consoles for you to consider. How many Xbox 360's did you see bought. How many PS3s? How about more recent...Xbox One's (seen to have sold in the range of 60 million). As I said above 85 - 25 = 60 million. See how I got the numbers of players of 5e in my...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player’s Handbook is ‘Fastest Selling D&D Book Ever’

    No, I'm saying what I get in money from when they figure out the numbers doesn't always reflect what I hear them saying...and when pressed...well...sometimes it's hard to get a straight answer. I see better stuff from other companies (such as Microsoft or Apple) when they give lower numbers on...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player’s Handbook is ‘Fastest Selling D&D Book Ever’

    Even if they sold 10 times the number of the initial sales of 5e's (2014) first week I don't think they should have sold out yet... Unless they were planning for a far smaller number than I would have expected. I estimate the audience is at least 5X what it was when the original 5e came out...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player’s Handbook is ‘Fastest Selling D&D Book Ever’

    Late to the party to comment... To put this into perspective (and think about this one...) How many people do you know that bought an Xbox One? How many people do you know that bought and Xbox 360? How many people do you know that bought a Playstation 3? How many people do you know that...

    Streaming Movies and Power Rankings: A Reverie on Max's A24 and Netflix's Rebel Ridge

    So, I saw this movie differently than many others. If they wanted a movie with a strong statement, they could have decisively chosen one side of the political spectrum or not. As it is, and how it begins and how it ends I suspect that in the original script, it was just that. However, someone...

    Cards against Humanity sues SpaceX

    Well, I hope CaH luck in their lawsuit. It would SEEM like an open and shut case...BUT...I wouldn't bet on it with money. The first hurdle they have to cross...is will they have enough money to keep on going in the face of someone with almost unlimited money. If they can't pay the fees to...

    Trailer Gladiator II | New Trailer (2024 Movie)

    Did I just see the Mummy face with mouth opening on a monkey at the beginning of this trailer?? The first one was perfect. No need to have made a sequel. It's sad that everyone is so much into sequelitis these days. On the bright side, it looks like Denzel Washington is hamming it up. That...

    Trailer RED ONE | Official Trailer 2

    I've heard a lot of people ragging on this one...with a lot of skepticism. It actually looks like a fun movie to me (better than Gladiator II at least).

    D&D Is Hiring a New Brand Publicity Manager

    It's more than just getting a sale, you probably would help handle PR difficulties (like the recent events that occurred and are occurring in the Australia, New Zealand, Oceania areas) or, looking at previous hardship times for PR when the OGL decisions were being made and going down. It's...
