Yeah. One thing I did when I was trying to answer this question was I went to the internet and I googled 100 character archetypes just to see what resources were out there. This was on the first page. 201, 77, 99, D100, 100, over 325, 250, 230, or 50 character archetypes for the following. Screenplays, writers, screenwriters, novelists, writers, right?

So you can go out, you could just do that, go to any one of those websites and you're going to see at least 50 and up to 325 character archetypes, which you could grab or mashed together. And, you know, yeah, it's a resource.

So thank you for those questions. We will have more next time. Jumping right into news and commentary, let's start with no news being good news regarding the D&D movie and television show. We had Jess Lanzillo commenting on the possibility of more D&D movies, shows, and other media with EN World's Christian Hoffer. And by the way, Christian going to EN World is amazing.

Yep. What Jess said was after I joined the D&D team at the end of quarter one, 2024, we kind of reestablished our relationship with a lot of studios and partners. And we're doing a lot of exploration.

We basically have aligned our philosophy so we want to pair up with the best creators and let them tell the best stories that they already know how to do because all of these people started telling stories through playing D&D. And through that, there are a series of explorations that we are very, very excited about. When we are ready to announce them, we will let you know.

Yeah. We see the cyclical nature of this, right? We, Hasbro, are going to buy an entertainment studio and we're going to make movies and TV shows because we're going to make so much money with that. And then the D&D movie comes out. great directorial team, great writing, great acting. Everything about it, fantastic. I could watch it again right now.

I don't think they could have done better on getting that movie out. And still, it didn't explode like they were hoping. What happens...

Right. Well, and that's what I was going to continue. Sorry. No, but they went off and they made, you know, with partners, obviously, but they made the movie.

Thinking we will reap most of the benefits and didn't. but they partnered with a computer game company and had a smash success. So with that smash success and with the failure of the movie over here, failure in quotes, they're like, oh, now we're going to switch. Now we're going to license out movies, but we're going to make video games. And what's likely to happen?
