So I was watching Mad Money and Cramer brought up that Hasbro will be 50/50 partners in a new cable network called The Hub, replacing Discovery Kids and featuring a lineup of shows based on a number of their intellectual properties. My mind immediately turned to a new D&D cartoon. I've posted about this before, how Hasbro needed to green light a new D&D cartoon as a vehicle to get new, younger players into the game, and as part of a larger strategy to build up the D&D intellectual property, and it looks as if they may be doing that. The announcement of the Red Box and Essential lines only further supports this.
Here's a link to an article about the new network. Some of the key quotes that sound very D&D are "The Hub will be a fun and transformative destination that brings kids and their families together by presenting clever stories and engaging characters." and "Content on The Hub will feature rich storytelling with active, multidimensional characters and unexpected heroes."
The article also mentions new leadership, "Under the leadership of Margaret and her team, The Hub will be the next great children's media brand." It gives me hope that Hasbro, coming off such huge successes with its other intellectual properties, will begin to build up the D&D brand.
