D&D General Hasbro Q and A with Chris Cocks has some details about the movie production and DnDBeyond .

- Start date
Conquest of Nerath is Risk-like in the same way that Axis and Allies is Risk-like. They have the same theme of warfare, but Conquest of Nerath and Axis and Allies are both trying to be more complex simulations (without crossing the line into actual wargame) while even the most complex Risk variants are trying to be simple strategy games at their core.

Hooooo boy that film had better not be mediocre, suck, or just get released into a bad situation re: other major releases.
This is helpful. I'd picked up that they had 10m users a while back, but I could never find the quote, and whenever I suggested it, people were skeptical as hell.

Some of that verbiage I don’t understand, can you explain it?

They did one for LOTR. It's an interesting take on it because you have a built in time limits the one ring leaving the game board.
They did two versions too - one that came out when the Two Towers hit the theaters that only had the map up to what they showed in the movie, and then a second "Trilogy Edition" that had the full map.
I've only got the Two Towers edition and it's great if you like Risk - I can only imagine that the Trilogy Edition is also great but even more.
I'd love to see a D&D Risk - I might actually be able to get my father to play a D&D game if they did (right now I could possibly get him to play D&D Monopoly, but that would involve me playing Monopoly and that's not going to happen...)

If Hasbro mergers with Embracer Group, owners of Asmodee, then we would see lots of board games with D&D licence, and other Hasbro's franchise. Why not any licencing to test the reaction of the market?
The TV seres "American Gothic", "From" and "Wayward Pines" may be good examples of eOne producing horror action-live titles set in a (XXI century tech small town) dark domain but not knownledge about the lore is necessary even it may be part of the mistery in the plot, and only Ravenloft fandom would realise.

My read is: D&D Beyond has 10 million users, D&D Beyond is profitable, and D&D Beyond is actively growing still.

The release date is a risk these days, but I think they have a pretty low bar: slock, fun and inoffensive toy commercial should suffice, Fast & Furious or Transformers level quality is probably fine.

2023, the year of D&D... That is a very ambitious roll out.

IMHO Hasbro has a lot riding on the success of all this stuff to put D&D over as a 'lifestyle' brand.
The potential for "D&D" to make money with Toys, Video games, Tv, and Movies is exponentially bigger than anything that it will ever do as an RPG.
But they really need all those thing to not suck for their plan to work. Because that is a big investment in cash coming out all at once that can be soured if the Movie is mediocre, the Tv series bombs, or the videogames are crap.

It's more like a cross between Axis and Allies, the original Fortress America's combat system, and Magic Quest.

You mean the latter half re: EBITDA? I have to admit, whilst I am familiar with EBITDA from doing research stuff, I have no idea what "a favorable 8 times trailing twelve-month EBITDA multiple" is. Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), if I understand correctly, is basically about how much money you put in vs. how much something grows - so it's not the literal growth rate - they're not saying D&D Beyond is growing 50% year-on-year, they're saying the value of investing X amount in D&D Beyond is increasing by 50% year-on-year. The "compound" bit is because it hasn't actually grown steadily - this is a smoothed out number. So it might actually have had spikey growth, or grown more earlier or later, but if you smooth it out over the times its existed, you get this value. Financial bods feel free to correct me or explain the "8 times trailing..." deal.

A Title Much Cooler Than Anything on the Old Site
I have yet to play a Monopoly game--of any variant--that I enjoyed. The only I like the best is Monopoly Junior, for young children, because it is a mercifully shorter play time.

Yeah I would much rather play something like Pandemic.
Ya know that format would be really fun with the story of Tyranny of Dragons.
I've only played it once, but it was much more Axis & Allies-like, particularly in its combat system.
