So on to your topics: Will D&D be a good managed brand etc, dunno that really depends on the management and what they do with the IP. I think it has the potential. Will that impact us as players of table top RPGs. Yes, somewhat depends on how much we depend on published material. As a DM that depends entirely on published material I have only managed to consume Princes of the Apocalypse and Dungeon of the Mad Mage so far, with bits of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist out of what? say a dozen or so APs. So I am good for the next 20 years at least and that is before converting old stuff or Paizo stuff or EN World stuff. I do not expect much change from a D&D table top perspective: I do expect more video game, may be more board game. TV series and movies. I do not expect Hasbro to squeeze more performance from D&D and if they do it will be by buying out DnDBeyond or FantasyGrounds and using those as data hoovers to give a better marketing picture. I expect that Hasbro is looking for growth in the expanded IP, that is, merch, video and boardgames, TV and movies. I would expect more crossover with Magic though.Ska deserves to be revived.</blockquote>
