What people tend to forget is that it's not just about someone buying xyz, but the people currently owning xyz willing to part with it. When you show major interest, the price goes up significantly. Every day around 1.5 million shares of Hasbro stock are traded, even if you bought up all of...

Death threats and racial attacks are not OK in any circumstance. But what is asked is not to help stop that, but to remove the criticism towards EGG and DS, that is something completely different! And while asking nicely is always allowed imho, and blowing up the asking nicely thing with another...

facepalm Yep, that's digging yourself a bigger hole EGG! When you go from asking nicely to making legal threats...

With a company name like Evil Genius Games, I don't expect them to have a company motto like "Don't be evil"... ;) But I think that Dave Scott underestimated the 'community' aspect of running a pnp RPG company and how easily you can offend and alienate a very loud minority of that pnp RPG...

This is pretty much how I feel about D&D 2024/2025 in general, as if they took D&D and started cutting left and right, tacking on all kinds of stuff and it's all being done by different contractors, not coordinating well... Now we're stuck with an upside-down house. We generally play D&D (2e...

I strongly dislike the Vampire 5e art style (dislike is an understatement)! I like how Onyx Path handled V20 (and all the other WoD settings), art style, game style, etc. If I was to run Vampire again, it would be V20. I'm a big fan of the old WW stuff, a big part of that was the art style, as...

Or all the people that did play D&D didn't want to touch this with a ten-foot pole, kept their mouths shut and quietly left the room... ;) Yeah, but the reason why they existed was different. It wasn't because mommy human and daddy orc loved each other very much... We also had a...

But do you agree that this is the exception to the rule, many early access games fail to deliver what they promised, no matter the good intentions. But the funny thing is, there is Larian DLC: Baldur's Gate 3 - Digital Deluxe Edition DLC Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Companion: Sir Lora the...

The comparison is a bit skewed. The only reason that BG3 doesn't have any DLC is because the developer (Larian) said "We're done with D&D and WotC!", not because the IP owners (WotC/Hasbro) didn't want any DLC. Some people also forget that BG3 also had the Early Access scheme for almost three...

40k lore has always been mutating, very little of original 'Rogue Trader' (1987) is left. Some of the changes have been for the better, some have been for the worse. I find that most of the sarcasm has been lost and 40k lore takes itself way too serious these days... But I've always seen each...

In what kind of fantasy world are you living? No matter what you do, someone will be offended if they know about it, no matter what you do. The point is, who do you NOT want to offend, and that is telling of the company, the location, the culture, and the era it is made in. And how that is...

To be honest, Catalyst isn't the best, but it isn't the worst either. There have been many scandals and controversies at Catalyst, but those have also been at WotC and I'm not really seeing people stop buying D&D and MtG products... I also think that Catalyst depends on the brand. I've only been...

Started D&D with the Dutch version of the 'basic' (Red box) about 35 years ago (but actually started pnp RPGs with 'Oog des Meesters', also called 'The Dark Eye' in English), moved to the English version of AD&D 2E not that long after. Our 2e campaign eventually petered out, but thanks to Eric...

Now, but it wasn't always and it doesn't have to be so in the future. Remember Worldcom and the dotcom bubble? And in car manufacturing land, remember GM? One of the Big Three car manufacturers in the US (went bankrupt), Chrysler, another one of the Big Three is now a (tiny) label/brand from a...

Xanathar the new iconic bad guy? ;)

Where there's a will, there's a way. With Musk we've seen that with Twitter, we've seen that with the Cybertruck, we've seen that with his possible political appointment... While Musk is cash poor, he still has a LOT of assets people deem valuable. That generally means he can borrow against...

Says the person typing on a computer... How many 'jobs' were taken by computers and automation, many. Advances in technology changes jobs people do and how they do it. The printing press took a lot of 'jobs' of people transcribing books by hand, but would you rather live without printed books...

What kind of choice do they have? Which studio could do a BG4 justice AND would want to work with WotC/Hasbro after Larian Studios made it very clear they wouldn't do it under no circumstances... And Larian was a group of developers that always wanted to make a D&D crpg, so they ignored a lot of...

Yeah, I remember the old site, it allowed us to play 3rd edition before the books were even out. Got us out of the 2e slump we were in... Still playing with most of that group today!

Cocks earned a 2023 base salary of $1.5 million, stock awards and options of roughly $11 million, and nearly $2 million in performance pay, according to the company's (Nasdaq: HAS) 2024 proxy statement. What he's earning in 2024 we'll see in 2025. And WotC/Hasbro didn't even do that...
