Welcome back to You Heard it Here Last were we talk about news, you’ve already heard.
I just want to take a moment as we gently enter 2025 to say…
Holy Crap!
Hasbro is at it again.
Games Global is an online gambling site that has announced it has partnered with Hasbro to release “Tales of Riches” that is described as ‘inspired by the legendary fantasy world of Dungeons & Dragons’.

That’s right Hasbro has licensed Dungeons & Dragons to an online gambling site. You know, those insidious advertisements and websites that push gambling to the public. Well, they are always looking to hook a younger audience and since kids are more than twice as likely to become addicted to gambling why not grab something like D&D to really sink your teeth into the younger audience.
Just when I thought Hasbro couldn’t sink any lower. I can’t say that I am surprised, but this one really burns me. At this rate I feel like next Christmas they will announce that Hasbro has partnered with a Chinese Fentanyl company to supply loot drops.
Am I overreacting on this guys?

I think the best way to get the bad taste of the last news item out of my mouth is to switch to something a little more…refreshing.

Amazon has official greenlit Henry Cavills Warhammer 40K TV Show.
Warhammer 40K is the most popular miniature wargame in the world. Originally published in 1987, it is on its 10th edition. Set in the far future, it mixes fantasy tropes with sci-fi in a grim, dark universe. It is currently being publishing by Cubicle 7.
I played a little Warhammer 40K back when it was produced by Games Workshop. I liked it. It is a miniature war game with some really dark elements that make it fun. I was turned off by the way that Games Workshop would release a new miniature with special rules that destroyed everything on the table only to be topped the next month by a newer, more expensive, mini that would do the same, but all in all it was a good game.
Henry Cavill has been a vocal fan of the game for many years and has been working hard behind the scenes to get this made. This is expected to be a live action product with Henry Cavill starring.
What do you guys think about that?
