this is your reminder that you should absolutely not be buying stuff from #WOTC while they continue with their fucked up practices.

Wizards of the Coast Declines to Recognize Union by May 1st

United Wizards of the Coast

I'm not an #MTG player, so I'm very confused that #WOTC (and an artist) had to apologize for The One Ring looking too similar on two cards for the same game.

Like, shouldn't they look like the same ring? There's only so many ways to draw a gold ring, folks!

Once again #WotC reassures me that my decision to abandon official #DND for alternatives, like Tales of the Valiant (or possible Daggerheart if my players are amenable) is wise, prudent, and just better for my gaming enjoyment.

Good job, WotC!

Yay, the era of D&D DLC is finally here...

In a surprise move, D&D Beyond has reverted to an “a la carte” model, with new Class and Species Starter Packs that can be purchased individually. https://dungeonsanddragonsfan.com/dnd-beyond-starter-packs/ #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dnd5e #dnd2024 #dndbeyond #dungeonmaster #wizardsofthecoast #wotc #ttrpg #tabletoprpg
We peel back all the details on the new "Tom Cartos: Essentials Stickers Bundle," which features over 1,200 digital assets for use on the D&D Beyond Maps VTT. https://dungeonsanddragonsfan.com/dnd-beyond-tom-cartos-sticker-bundle/ #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dnd5e #dndbeyond #dungeonmaster #ttrpg #tabletoprpg #wizardsofthecoast #wotc
Companies being able to refuse to recognise unions is a mind blowing concept…

Magic The Gathering staffers unionize to combat increasing pressure on ai, layoffs, RTO mandates and more

Wizards of the Coast staff working on Magic The Gathering unionized to address layoffs, RTO mandates, crunch issues and forced AI usage.

OK, it's morally dubious to give money to Hasbro, even for decades-old products, AND we have newer retro-clones of these, BUT:

B/X are now in print-on-demand. New copies of the second-best edition of D&D (Holmes Basic is better, but WotC won't even sell the PDF! Because they know it'd destroy all D&D 5.5E sales.)

You can also get BECMI Cyclopedia, which is very long & poorly balanced:

Great news - the devs behind Mtg Arena are unionizing!

They have an open letter to WotC laying out the details, and inviting WotC and Hasbro to recognize the union voluntarily. Everyone who spends money with WotC should put pressure on them to accept this, imo.
