@yourdemonicfather Indeed, indeed. But we must not forget that they are coming from a succession of controversial ideas.
The legendary Dungeons & Dragons villain Acererak is back and badder than ever in this new 1/7 scale statue from Diamond Select Toys.

It just feels like (hear me out) - someone at #Hasbro / #WOTC was told "If we give players Crappy Cake, then they won't like it but they'll think Some Cake is better than No Cake, so will keep giving us money for the Crappy Cake. We just have to create a minimum viable Cake. It'll print money!"
Then after more than a year of #Hasbro and WOTC trying to ~CRAM CAKE INTO EVERY GODDAM THING~ and Players still saying "No. Thanks!" They've finally given up.
RIP Project #Sigil

"Report: Hasbro Is Scrapping Dungeons & Dragons‘s Ambitious Virtual Tabletop" - i09
So, "Separated from the Company" is the new euphemism for fired? Not sinister sounding at ALL
".. in an internal message sent to Wizards of the Coast employees, the studio confirmed that Sigil will “transition to a DDB feature,” ... “most of the Sigil team will be separated from the company this week" -i09.com

Rascal News hat die Bestätigung: Der auf der Unreal Engine basierende 3D Tabletop "Project Sigil" wird nicht weiterentwickelt
This article shows us how utterly clueless Hasbro was in regards to the Sigil VTT.
While everybody expected Sigil VTT would make its money through endless stream of micro-transactions, Hasbro apparently thought a VTT was like a regular GI Joe action figure toy -- once you design it, you can have money rolling in with no additional cost or effort.
When they finally learned that's not how VTT works, they lost interest. 
Wizards of the Coast recently announced that the new Sigil Dungeons & Dragons VTT will no longer be a major priority, with 90% of the team laid off. We break out all the details. https://dungeonsanddragonsfan.com/sigil-vtt-scraped-team-layoffs/ #dnd #dnd5e #dungeonsanddragons #sigil #vtt #wizardsofthecoast #wotc #ttrpg
1985 Games "Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass" is now available on D&D Beyond. We dig into this unique Studio Ghibli inspired campaign setting. https://dungeonsanddragonsfan.com/obojima-tales-from-the-tall-grass-dnd-beyond/ #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dnd5e #dnd2024 #dungeonmaster #studioghibli #Obojima #wizardsofthecoast #wotc #dndbeyond #ttrpg
Wizards of the Coast has laid off over 90% of the team working on their virtual table top.
Guess challenging owlbear, roll20 and foundry wasn't so easy after all, huh? I see this as a win for the #ttrpg community overall. Sorry for the laid off workers though. Hope you find new and brighter opportunities soon!
Anyone that decides to take a job with Wizards of the Coast should always have a plan for what happens when they unexpectedly (or during holiday season, expectedly) fires them. Because they will fire them. It's inevitable. If the salary they offer isn't enough to allow you to create a rainy day fund, don't take the job.
At this point, it's like smoking and cancer. It's no longer hidden. Everyone knows it happens, so if it does happen, you won't get nearly as much sympathy from the masses. #WotC
댄디 만드는 위저드사가 지난 몇년간 자기네가 새로 삐까번쩍하게 만든다는 Sigil VTT를 엄청 띄워줬는데, 그게 2월달에 쥐도 새도 모르게 출시가 되었었다. (나도 전혀 몰랐다ㅋ)
그리고 오늘 Sigil VTT 개발팀 중 30명(개발팀의 대략 90%)이 짤렸다고 linkedin에 글이 올라왔다.
만들다가 잘 안되니까 그냥 버리는건가ㅋ
Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks is singing praises of AI again.
I guess he can ask his precious AI why players like me are no longer interested in D&D.
https://www.enworld.org/threads/hasbro-ceo-chris-cocks-is-talking-about-ai-in-d-d-again.712216/
Chris Cocks will immer noch AI in D&D
https://www.enworld.org/threads/hasbro-ceo-chris-cocks-is-talking-about-ai-in-d-d-again.712216/
"Cocks uses artificial intelligence tools to generate storylines, art, and voices for his D&D characters and hails AI as “a great leveler for user-generated content.”
[...] believes the technology will extend the reach of Hasbro’s brands. That could include subscription services letting other Dungeon Masters enrich their D&D campaigns, or offerings to let parents customize Peppa Pig animations."
"Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting” is now on D&D Beyond, but has been split into two parts.
