It’s been an absurd mishandling of the IP by Take Two. Will probably be permanently stuck in early access with only maintenance development at best.

A lot of people (myself included) had the update installed automatically by Steam with no option for rollback, so it caught people off guard.
I can’t believe that some actually Vax-maxxed. Absolute legend.
I agree that D&D will always exist, I am just personally uninterested in the direction the game is going with the OneD&D, and I think the source of this muddling path is do to the failure of the original business maneuver with the OGL revision. I don’t really see things getting better under Hasbro, so any major shakeup might be a good thing overall.
Kinda .
I don’t think Tencent would be a particularly great owner for the D&D brand, but they might have been more hands-off than Hasbro went it comes to mucking with the business model, and a major shakeup for D&D could be good. Honestly, WotC (or just D&D) could be doing better if it was an independent operation as opposed to subsidizing the Hasbro revenue sink.
Hasbro has no clue what to do with the game since their games-as-service, closed ecosystem plan went kaput after they backed down on the OGL revision (which would have been necessary to shut out other VTTs and ensure player & DM subscriptions). I think the recent lay offs of senior people in the D&D related teams suggests this as well. This article doesn’t seem well sourced at all, but a shake-up would be very interesting at this point.
Side-stepping some of the speculation and impact on the traditional market/fanbase, I am curious about the interest in D&D in China, as a Tencent acquisition would presumably make it much easier to market the game there. From the searching I’ve done, there doesn’t seem to be a ton of interest in D&D, and there’s no official translation into Mandarin. The movie didn’t do great at the Chinese box office, although Baldur’s Gate 3 did fine? Obviously, if Tencent does put together a subsidiary to design a version for the Chinese market, I’m not sure if they’d want to start by translating/adapting existing books or using the ruleset to design a bespoke version (either with a fantasy setting or based on relevant Chinese IP.)
Pure methanol should work, and failing that acetone. I use alcohol resistant markers for some work things and it’s still possible to strip it.
Honestly, better than I thought that Haley would do, but this is going to be her best state by far. Just a grift for the gaggle of consultants in her campaign, with #resistance libs as probably the main victims.
Doesn’t have much doohickey vibes
Following the end of World War 2, the US provided substantial aid to the KMT in the civil war, including a naval effort that would prevent the PRC (with its quite limited naval capacities) from a landing in Taiwan.
What trends to balloon the price of board games is miniatures, since mold casting is very expensive, and 3D printing is generally too low throughput for commercial products.
If I understand it correctly, the breakaway messianic sect claims the building that they were tunneling towards (which is owned by the other sect), and they made the tunnel to either break in or at least get closer to what they consider a holy site.
There is an explanation. It was part of a feud between Hasidic sects, where a breakaway sect was using the tunnel to break into a building they claimed.
Check the modlog. It was due to their fake fed post being beyond the pale.
Every post you make is a lie or a joke. This is a real “boy who cried wolf” moment.
I literally can’t tell if you’re serious because every you make is facetious regardless of comm.
We will find the bullet who did this and bring them to justice.
That’s fair, although I do think that it’s immoral to be wasteful when the known costs of an endeavor so greatly outstrips the realizable utility.
The proposal is for a globally-levied tax. Where exactly is capital going to fly to?
