Welcome to another edition of You Heard it Here Last, where we talk about news you’ve already heard.

We are kicking off today with yet more D&D News. It’s funny how much we talk about a game we don’t play. But that’s a topic for another day. Today we are talking about the fact that the new D&D Rules that is being called D&D 2024 for now will be released under a Creative Commons License.

Wizards of the Coast has already put 5E material in their SRD or Systems Reference Document which allows third party contributors to use the rules in their products and now promises that all of the new game material will also be available in the SRD.

Now we can talk about something that is not D&D Related.

Embracer Group, the Swedish company that owns Asmodee, Edge Studios, and Fantasy Flight Games will split into three different companies. With over 9,000 IPs this is bound to have an affect on games we love.

The company has been going through a rough time with hundreds of layoffs and closures and this move is being made to allow the different groups to publicly trade and focus on what the do best. The three groups are Asmodee (table top gaming), Coffee Stain & Friends (Premium and Free to Play Online Gaming), Middle Earth Enterprises & Friends (LOTR Content, Dark Horse Comics, and Tomb Raider)
