 D&D is being sold. Possibly to Tencent. 

Devastated

 They are seeking to divest though. The rumors were that they were referred to tencent. What concerns me is we just got promises about the license situation around D&D. If it gets sold all bets are off. We’re back to publishers and creatives being left with the last open version of D&D.

 It’s pretty good. I liked Pathfinder 1e better, but I started on 3.5e D&D so that’s just bias. ❤️

 WoTC is just a bad company. I hate to say it, because I trust Tencent about as far as I can throw them, but maybe they'd be a good home for D&D since Eastern companies tend to pay zero cares to nonsensical Western "culture wars."
