Cool. Look for me. I’ll be the one being carried on a golden chair by zarathud, Harkonis and Seppe.
He won. Period.

2022: Tabletop giant Asmodee is bought by video gaming behemoth Embracer Group
2024: Embracer loads up Asmodee with nearly $1 billion in debt and spins it off as a separate company
It's certainly a creative solution to the financial challenges of the video game industry: unload their debt onto board games.

Re: Tabletop Randomness
Such a joyful sight! My older kid (rising junior in college) is in the house with no fewer than twelve friends for a daylong boardgame session. I just got home and don't know what they've played already, but right now it's DUNE and ROOT on parallel tables.
It's a very mixed crowd, running the whole range from math nerd to art punk. The gender mix is 1/3 male, 1/3 female, 1/3 you'll have to ask.
And to think that I used to worry that my kid was a little too introverted. Games bring people together.

Re: Tabletop Randomness
It was really nice to see!
In fact it inspired me to take the plunge and commit to an RPG with semi-strangers to which I've been invited. Outside of computer games, I haven't role-played in years. I'm excited now.
