That full book also better have a sassy archeologist chick in a wheelchair.

How are those grifters still in business?
I refuse to believe that Scissoring Bull Dykes sold even a single copy more than The Adventures of Charles Chan.

Don't forget that Hungry Futa Fujos was a Kickstarter. It doesn't matter if no one outside of their backers was interested in the product. It still made profit.
Though the main thing keeping them afloat atm is probably Blades in the Dark. Not only did the Kickstarter make gangbusters, but it has effectively replaced Apocalypse World as the go-to system to use (or rip off) directly for many, many third-party indie tabletop tumblrshit.

Another Williams bites the dust

Cynthia Williams, CEO of WotC and Hasbro Gaming, has announced to step down from her position, just a few days before the next earnings report.
This marks the second time after the infamous Lorraine that a hoe named Williams got her talons on the D&D property and indulged in some mismanagement. Hired to put her expertise as a former Microsoft manager into squeezing more shekels out of the D&D IP, her reign at WotC is mostly remembered for drama, poor product quality and decreasing sales. No wonder they had to lay off a bunch of people.

I'm really looking forward to that report. That last one was effectively only salvaged thanks to the Baldur's Gate 3 sales, so it's bound to get good.

D&D's 50th Anniversary Spectacular continues to be underwhelming.

Remember the 1983 Basic D&D box set? It's affectionately called the "Red Box" due to its color, and it features a most classic cover image by D&D art icon Larry Elmore:

AwesomeShow

Now as part of the anniversary Wizkids has announced - among other things - to release a miniature based on the brave Red Box warrior.
Except they decided to "reveal" that this brave warrior is totally a chick.

Not So AwesomeShow

Never mind that this is clearly a publicity stunt so that woker sites can sing praises to WotC and make some snide remarks about those vile chuds.
Never mind that Larry is a classic pulp artist who knows how to draw sexy babes that are recognizable as such from every angle.
Never mind that Larry himself has made it clear it's always been a dude on the cover.

Does "she" have a cock though?

I mean, 40 years is plenty of time to get your egg cracked.
Or he put on that one cursed belt that gives you a sex change.

The truth of you faggots being gaslighting liars, like always.

Just to be clear, the thing that I love about D&D was that anyone can be anything in this game. Male, Female, both, neither, it does not discriminate. It's a game of imagination and you can be and do whatever you want.

Great, a fence-sitting ally Though I guess he just doesn't want to get written out of the game as a persona non grata and still collect his royalty checks.

The Red Box warrior is a woman.
The Red Box warrior has always been a woman.
