    D&D General MtG x D&D Secret Lair: Roll for Initiative Superdrop

    Another day, another crossover product. In my personal opinion, the cards reprinted are only semi-desirable (outside of the full-art basics), so WotC is definitely banking on the popularity of the associated brand(s) to carry this one...

    Crows Officially Announced by MCDM

    I personally didn't like Draw Steel but I can see that tremendous effort into its many iterations have gone into designing and playtesting it. I imagine those influenced the design of CROWS as well, so I am very excited to see the final product.

    Hasbro CEO Cocks and Execs Sued for Alleged Securities Violations

    Would you, as a consumer, buy a new set at 100$ if the last one was firesold off at 50$ due to overprinting? Would you, as a distributor, order a bigger allocation of new cards if the last shipment sold poorly? Where do consumers go when local game stores go under on unsold inventory? Even if...

    Hasbro CEO Cocks and Execs Sued for Alleged Securities Violations

    Publicly, no. But if you sell limited run collector's items at increased prices compared to normal print runs and then brag about it for years on your quarterly reports about how this is a great way to make lots of money, it stands to reason that your MtG operations are highly dependent on...

    Hasbro CEO Cocks and Execs Sued for Alleged Securities Violations

    It is very simple. MtG cards are sold on the social contract that cards are valuable in the secondary market. Hey, this box of realistically worthless printed cardboard is 100 Federal United States Dollars, but people really really value the rare ones. This drives sales and a robust secondary...

    Hasbro CEO Cocks and Execs Sued for Alleged Securities Violations

    The brand has value which is represented in $HAS balance sheet. If they devalue the brand by tanking secondary market value they harm their intellectual property and future revenue They're arguing that their financial reports are misleading in the sense that they try to portray the company is...

    Hasbro CEO Cocks and Execs Sued for Alleged Securities Violations

    I think the real key factor here is how Revenue is recorded for MtG which I have no insight in. Since MtG is sold through distributors, they MIGHT get Revenue no matter what, it is just that Distributor and Retailer relationships are harmed when it sits around unsold. Again, I have no idea what...

    https://www.golocalprov.com/business/hasbro-ceo-cocks-and-execs-sued-for-alleged-securities-violations A small excerpt because the original article is much much longer Given how Hasbro likes to hide D&D Revenue by bundling it together with MtG all the time, I am not really surprised people...

    Divinity video game from Larian - may use AI trained on own assets and to help development

    So you're both overestimating the usefulness of AI (AGI replacing work, which it won't) while also being anti-AI? Maybe it is you who has drank the technocrat kool-aid they distribute to capture more capital attention.

    D&D General Should BG4 be a new story or continue on from BG3's story?

    I feel like adding 2-3 auxilliary characters in Act 2 and 3 that don't have any central stories like Jhoira and Minsc in BG3 is the Goldilocks Zone.
