[QUOTE="michaeljpastor, post: 9578472, member: 81243"] That, and the D&D movie - which, by all the views it eventually got in streaming, was a freakin' success. If they hadn't been working on 5.24, these recent media-adjacent successes in and around the 50th anniversary could have been more strategically leveraged. BUT I am hopeful and look at it with a long view. They can mine these new IPs for the next ten years. As for starter sets - they're still celebrating the 50th anniversary, so playing tribute to Keep on the Borderlands is an obvious choice. They're also debuting a new form factor with the starter sets, with tiles for options to build your character - which sounds awesome - but best to do it with something that they're familiar with, rather than going through the trouble of ALSO translating everything from another medium. They've had media tie-in starter sets in the past, there's nothing stopping them from doing more in the future. Baby steps with a new project. We also have Project Sigil coming, and aren't the avatars for the BG3 characters already confirmed? [/QUOTE]
