Yeah, so this is the Direwolf board game that's the sequel to the first part. It is an incredible game that is like Clank, if you know that game of trying to explore before the dragon comes, but also fully steeped in Acquisitions Incorporated and developing your franchise, this time around one that Jim Darkmagic is heading up.

It's amazing what a huge year 2024 was like if all it had been was just post OGL. I think we could talk about that forever. But I mean, the DMG and the players handbook coming out with this revised 5e edition. And even that wasn't just that it was like. You had people saying like, oh, look at how low the book scan sales are.

You had people saying like, oh, look at how low the book scan sales are.

And then you had other people saying, I can tell you for sure we have just reprinted more books than we ever could have imagined. Like the sales are through the roof, which shows you that things are changing, right? How the game is sold, where it's sold, how you can track it is now quite a confusing picture.

Yeah. Amen. I mean, and again, this is one of these things, if the only thing that had happened this year was the D&D movie, that would be amazing, right? Like any other company would say, we're done here. This is all we ever need to talk about. And we'll talk about it all year long. And in fact, the D&D movie was a thing I remembered to put on this list as I was like coming up to record today.
