Top News Stories
Paramount wins Warner Bros. Discovery: We discussed this a bit at the end of last year, but Netflix’s purchase of Warner Brothers Discovery was beat out by a counteroffer by Paramount. While this is still another move towards consolidation in an already top-heavy industry, the monopoly play of Netflix in particular did not come to pass.
Hasbro lawsuit dismissed: The lawsuit brought against Hasbro in January has been dismissed. This is likely because it’s hard to sue someone for financial mismanagement after they make a butt-ton of money.
From the Archives
On this day eight years ago we discussed a fascinating PbtA game intended to emulate the intrigues and dark fantasy of properties like Game of Thrones. Since then, I’ve run the game and found it’s very good at doing exactly what it says on the tin…if your group actually wants that sort of story, though, is another question. From the archives this week is The Sword, The Crown, and The Unspeakable Power.
Discussion of the Week
This dungeon doesn’t play nice and neither should they: Johan Nohr, of Mork Borg fame, describes his group going through the Tomb of Horrors. Short, punchy, and exactly the sort of PC logic I both encourage and dread in my own games.
