What is the stock ticker for Wizard's of the Sword Coast?

Wizards of the Coast is a subsidiary owned by Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS). It’s really not hard to look information like this up on your own.

But what about the swag? I can’t look that up. This should be in social.

If you’re thinking you’ll get free D&D or Magic: the Gathering sets, my guess would be no.

@Darth_Algar What about a say in 5th edition. 4th is too much to memorize and too ocd balanced.

Stockholders generally don’t really have a say in any specific product that a company produces (especially a company as large as Hasbro, that owns a number of subsidiaries and makes hundreds of products), but rather a say in the overall direction of the company. And even at that you gotta own a pretty large percentage of shares to have any significant say.

You would need to be an actual executive of Hasbro to really have much say, and even them it would be both limited and resented; nobody likes micromanaging bosses. And they definitely don’t care what anyone outside the company (like a mere shareholder) has to say about their product design.

Think about it though; Hasbro already made tons of money before they ever acquired D&D, so why would they even care? There are enough people like you out there who don’t know any other RPG and thus will buy D&D regardless of how bad it is anyways, so why would they care what somebody who gave them $560 for ten shares of their company says when they have tens of thousands of people giving then $40/pop for each of the books, for $80–280 per player and not making a peep?

No, if you want input into game design, you need to play other games made by more friendly companies. The ones I play at least get personalized responses from the authors, line editors, creators, or other high muck-a-muck addressing my specific points. (I am also directly responsible for at least one rule change as a result of one of my letters; proof that they not only listen, but actually care.) But that is because they are put out by actual gaming companies rather than a gaming subsidiary of a larger corporation.
