Just found this and it concerns me.

Sr Director, Global Brand Strategy & Marketing - Hasbro Gaming
Date: Nov 6, 2020

We have an immediate need for a results-oriented, strategic global marketer to drive our brand messages and vision around the world for AVALON HILL.

Avalon Hill (a division of Hasbro Gaming) is a global market leader in the core, face-to-face gaming category with iconic brands like Risk, Betrayal, HeroQuest, Axis & Allies, Robo Rally, and many more.

The date the project ended HASBRO lists a director position for all of Avalon Hill marketing?

Oh no!

Maybe Hasbro wasn’t happy with how the advertising (or lack thereof) was handled for the campaign. I don’t see this is a bad thing. Seeing as how it specifically names HeroQuest, that means they must care. So far it’s just a small project to them, if they listed it as the games to promote, then they must have bigger plans.

Anyone else completely annoyed by all the spam GIJoe/Transformers/whatever Hasbro Pulse emails that cannot be blocked due to the possibility of some kind of HQ news?

This is a position hire that the last date to apply was November 6th. Nothing to worry about, it’s actually positive as they’re taking the role seriously. Nothing to see here.

HAHAHAHAHHA, believe me I wanted to do exactly the same question!!! I really could not care any less about them, but I am leaving the notifications on just to avoid missing important communications about HeroQuest progresses.

I wouldn't be worried about missing anything, it's been radio silence since the campaign ended. Wouldn't be surprised if the next update we get is a shipping notice a year from now.

or another in the line of lawsuits against HASBRO from distributors/manufacturers that make minis for them for some reason...

Wait what is this? I know that WotC is currently getting sued for breach of contract by two different people right now, but haven't heard anything about Hasbro being sued.

WotC isnt a company, it is a division of HASBRO and HASBRO is on each paycheck and contract, so you cant really just sue WotC. HASBRO is always involved where there is any legal dealings with WotC.

REMINDER: Monday is the deadline to cancel your orders!

The highest fundraiser total recorded was $3,775,444, it now stands at $3,724,748, a drop of $50,696. Don't worry though, the last unlock was at 3.6 mill. (I can't do the numbers like Leathaface79, or Oftkilted!)

Kind of makes you wonder why people are cancelling.

By my reckoning, a $50K drop is equivalent to around 300 Mythic Tiers being cancelled, or 500 Heroic Tiers being cancelled, so if you assume an even mix of the two, it's around 400 people cancelling their orders (assuming one copy per person).
