[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 9416159, member: 6669048"] Doubtful because Wizards of the Coast has plenty of internal material they haven't exhausted yet. Hasbro isn't even having WotC do their internal licensed TTRPGs as Transformers, GI Joe, Power Rangers, and My Little Pony are all at Renegade instead of WotC. Meanwhile, while they are technically separate companies now, Embracer Group still has a relationship with Asmodee and therefore Edge Studios. So it's likely any TTRPG rights would go there first before other companies just because of the overlap in shareholders and other interests between the two. Also, if WotC wanted to do Conan, the character will hit public domain in 2028 (and arguably might already be public domain due to some nuances of American IP law). So they could just wait a couple of years and not need a license at all unless they want to go super-deep into the lore like Modiphius did with their Conan game. But all that's a moot point because the license for the Conan TTRPG is currently with Monolith and they've got a game called The Hyborean Age that's going to Kickstarter in a few months. [/QUOTE]
