    WotC Some Takeaways From Hasbro's Latest Reports

    Cocks earned a 2023 base salary of $1.5 million, stock awards and options of roughly $11 million, and nearly $2 million in performance pay, according to the company's (Nasdaq: HAS) 2024 proxy statement. What he's earning in 2024 we'll see in 2025. And WotC/Hasbro didn't even do that...

    Hasbro Hit With Layoffs, Wizards of the Coast Impacted

    Wait... What? There is no written/signed agreement at all? If that's the case how is your salary upheld? I'm a freelancer (so a business to business relationship with my client) and don't have any of the normal employee protections. But I still have a contract that lay out my responsibilities...

    WotC Some Takeaways From Hasbro's Latest Reports

    I'm kind of curious how those number line up compared to pre-pandemic numbers compensated with inflation. Hasbro 2019: https://investor.hasbro.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hasbro-reports-revenue-and-operating-profit-growth-full-year-and Inflation 2019-2024 (23.3%)...

    Hasbro Hit With Layoffs, Wizards of the Coast Impacted

    At this point I honestly don't care. If you went to work for WotC in the last 20+ years, you know they're doing these on the regular, you knew what you were getting into. If not, then this is a good learning experience. I'm a (semi) fan of D&D, not a fan of WotC/Hasbro and don't know the people...

    Press ARS MAGICA™ RPG BECOMES OPEN LICENSE VIA CROWDFUNDING

    I've always found Ars Magica interesting, it always reminded me of Mage: The Sorcerers Crusade/Dark Ages in a good way. Our group would never have played it though, thus I never picked it up physically. Until the Bundle of Holding came out with all the AM5e pdfs (no DRM AND via DTRPG), thus...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    I on the other hand roll on the "Right tool for the job." side of things. I don't give two Fs on how much effort was put into X for me to use it, as long as X is useful to me. And someone could have gone to great lengths to have written something and it can be still absolutely terrible. And as...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    Because 'someone's AI slop' isn't zero work and probably cost some money for subscriptions. The non-zero work includes prompting 'skills'. We have been able (and have done so) to create our own settings, our own adventures, and even our own rules for decades AND we still buy the 'slop' created...

    D&D (2024) WotC Invites You To Explore the World of Greyhawk

    D&D General Bought a brick of the 50th Anniversary minis :(

    That's a load of BS! In all cases it's a problem with the consumer, not reading well enough and/or not understanding what they're buying. Let me start by saying up front that I find that Wizkids (prepainted) miniatures tend to be quite expensive (I bought the gigantic Tiamat) and the painting...

    D&D Movie/TV DADHAT becomes Netflix Global Hit

    I've stopped watching on Netflix after 5min. I'll probably watch it when I'm in the mood for that kind of campy silliness. But I'm told we exactly replicated the Speak with Dead scene today... ;) But those that did watch it in my group were very enthusiastic as they found the campy silliness to...

    D&D 5E Party Rolled a Teleport Mishap Near 200 giants-Plz Help!

    According to the 5e Teleport spell, they take 3d10 force damage and you reroll on the table to see where they land... The teleport spell is very clear on how it works... If you throw 'mishap' again, another 3d10 force damage and keep rerolling. Besides that, it's either on target, a similar...

    Ember Kickstarter Launches for Foundry VTT

    System agnostic isn't going to happen, even a PF2E version isn't happening and that would attract a LOT more backers/customers/people then A5E. What I don't get is why A5E is a separate game system within FVTT and not a module for dnd5e like Starfinder 2e is a module for PF2E or how they now...

    Please delete this

    Amateurs! That's why you have a bag of holding... Fold body, insert into bag, dump in some marsh. If you want to be safe, pore some holy water over the body... If no BoH is available, just fold the body in some chests, use either a donkey or Tensor's Floating Disk to move the chests. Or if...

    D&D General What's the safest place to live in the Forgotten Realms?

    But... At a great cost of Halruaan lives and loss of sanity among the realm's spellcasters, Halruaan mages used Lady Sheive's magic to use the energy of the blue fire to save most of their kingdom by shifting it into another world, Abeir. And if you were by chance in the lands left behind...

    D&D General What's the safest place to live in the Forgotten Realms?

    Also keep in mind that time heals all wounds (and perceived threats). I live in the Netherlands and have never felt threatened by Germany, having been born 30+ years after WW2. I suspect that if relations are good after a few decades between nations, there is a lot less to worry about in most...

    D&D General What's the safest place to live in the Forgotten Realms?

    I was thinking that if there's a young adventuring couple looking to start a family, they have options to pretty much settle anywhere in FR/Faerun/Toril. What I often see here with young couples that have the means to move, they'll look for a safe place to raise their kids. That's often a quiet...
