[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 8339166, member: 7015558"] I know you're a big fan of crossovers and adaptations, but if you actually look at the sales of these third-parties, very few of them hold a candle to the sales of a company like Wizards of the Coast. I know Hasbro is a company that is quick to absorb toy brands that they think are valuable, but I'm quite certain there is almost no TTRPG company out there that they'd consider a merger with, with the exception of Games Workshop (because they're actually quite large). The sales of Pugmire for example are such a small drop in the bucket, I'm doubtful a single person on Hasbro's M&A team is aware of who they are or what they're product is. Now, I think you would be correct that more video games and movies are possible, but that's contingent on the early ones being a success. The launch of Dark Alliance, which seems to be mostly panned, is already throwing a wrench in that. I'm sure more are coming anyway, but if they keep launching products that do poorly this could easily stop. The movie for example could be a complete bust, ending any future of D&D media in film/TV.
