He does not know how to read the proxy statement for compensation (like many posting here). So not worthwhile to complain about the executive pay if you don't even understand it. The 2 glaring errors are to not realize the backwards looking nature of the bonuses and to conflate one time stock...

I don’t think they cut that deeply into the development team for D&D. Mike Mearls (who I think did a great job getting 5e into life) has not worked on the D&D RPG for ages. MtG sets and liaison with 3rd party computer games company is not development. Dan Dillon is pretty new to the team, it is...

Hasbro stock has moved into the 50’s from the 40’s before this announcement. The market itself is strong because of expectations of lower rates next year, but the stock move itself seems better than the market as a whole.

I have seen so much evidence here that people don’t understand why layoffs happen and how bigger companies work. I know how employees tend to be selected (smartest way is highest salary that does not have a big effect and also select lower rated employees and ones not working on a project about...

The more back office people are not followed on social media as well, so if 3 A/P clerks were let go, probably not covered here.

BTW - Chris Cocks is not getting $9M cash. Here is what the top people at Habro got from the last SEC filing:

If it all rolls up to D&D, it does not matter what team, less cost can be supported in D&D so ...

The budget for D&D gets smaller if there is a failure. I am willing to bet they used contractors for the failed products, but if there is less money to support the existing team, often someone unconnected takes the cost cutting bullet. Especially when big $$$ are being used for the VTT and the...

They are part of the D&D P&L. Not sure why you think that does not matter.

Accounting rules are why you need to take action before a quarter end in order to record it that quarter. I have had to suggest and implement layoffs a fair number of times in the past (senior finance person). We're all human, we prefer to not ruin holidays, but the company needs usually are the...

As much as a like the tactical choices as a DM of upcasting spells, not having to juggle spell slots while tracking everything else is a win for me.

Exactly. You quoted my post, told me that I don’t understand what a sensitivity reader does, and then posted this when I pointed out that you are strawpersoning my position. Obviously you are not getting your point across. I doubt that we are too far apart in thinking that some subjects need...

It arrived.

I clearly said that the default is that it will be improved is not correct, not that it could not improve it. I gave an example where using one might make sense. I listed what I would spend money on before I considered it. I did not do what your strawperson construction claimed, including and...

The 6 includes the original module. But that might have been just Chris Perkins (no quick online way for me to check). Still much lower writer count than the average for the past while. I really do not get why they need more than 2-3 for their books. They really are not that long.

I was happy to note that the writing team was only 6 people instead of the 12 to 15 that plauged too many recent adventures (makes it really hard to keep consistent). I did think some of the changes to the original adventure were silly and placing the to be discovered locations on the poster map...

I don’t think it is even close to a default that a sensitivity reader adds quality to the work. I am not even sure what type of sensitivity reader can be used on a book full of devils and archfiends. Avoiding topics that can make people feel uncomfortable can result in a weaker product and...

I hit my charity budget and got three things I wanted. For charity auctions I just pick how much I want to donate and bid accordingly. One of the items I was chasing a friend wanted it to make her contribution against and I stopped bidding.
