    I mean it is pretty clear that Hasbro silently believe they should get paid every time someone runs a game.

    How about a subscription model where for $10 you can play d&d as much as you want for a month

    This would be the level at which you have to play your group an advert every 10 minutes, I believe.

    $19.99 for the Platinum License (up to 5 players)

    For $24.99 a month you get the d20 with all the numbers, not just 1-14

    Obviously I'm not encouraging any illicit activity but if anyone would like to DM me I might be able to mention where I found 15 and 16

    I read the interview linked and it's... not that bad? At least to my eyes? This stuff sounds like what we want a game company to sound like, doesn't it?
    We totally flipped that and went back to a classic studio model. Put the product leaders in charge. Then we resourced them up. Hey, here’s the insights you need to understand your gamers. Here’s permission to break some rules, do some new things, shake things up.
    We have a new strategy where we’re taking more shots on goal. We’re working with more inventors. We’re giving them more opportunities to leverage our distribution strength and partnering with their design creativity to build new games.
    We’re hiring great people and letting them do what they’re great at, which is building a fantastic world and a rich adventure.
    The key there is the responsible use of it. We have an even higher bar we need to hit because we serve audiences of all ages. We go from preschoolers on up to adulthood. I don’t think we can be very cavalier in how we think about AI.
