I'm looking forward to that a lot because that means the game can live beyond anything else that happens with Wizards of the Coast. And it means that you and I can do what we want with this game truly and share it with other people. And that's going to be fantastic. I'm really looking forward to that. Then what? Well, the next thing on my list is the starter set, right?

Well, the next thing on my list is the starter set, right?

I think the starter set is an important product that Wizards of the Coast can produce and put out in lots of places that people will buy and that they can give to people who haven't played. I think getting that starter set right is really important. I think it's very strange that the starter set's not coming out for a year or not almost a year, right? It's coming out at the end of this year.

Fall, I think they said fall 2025, which feels like a long time for a starter set to come out. Hopefully it's fine. And I hope they don't do anything too weird with it.

And I hope it's just a good solid starter set that really gets people to understand what this game is like, because no one is in a better position than Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast is to get new people to understand what this game is like.

Once they get into the game, once they see how great this game is and how great role-playing games are, and once they fall in and they start watching YouTube videos and they start subscribing to newsletters and they start supporting people's Patreons and they start picking up other books, And that was all self, that was all the big advertisement for me. Then they're in our world.

And then we could share all of the other stuff. We could, Hey, there's other monster books. Hey, there's other design ideas. Hey, here's a bunch of house rules you might apply. Once they're in, we can get them right. We can get our claws into them and then share how great this hobby is. But it's really hard to get new people to see it at scale.

And only Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have the money and the backing and the connections and everything to get it to be introduced at scale. So I'm really looking forward to that. But honestly, at that point, to me, they become another publisher. And I know when we say that, it sounds like an insult. Oh my God, you're saying they're as bad as Kobold Press.
