So cool to learn random strangers are discussing your genitals and misgendering you because you don't want a bigot's wizard book to be in Magic the Gathering.
Awesome. I love it here.

oh, agreed, but the deal that sparked this was about stuff next year and WOTC typically uses roadmap to mean "things that we have planned", and the development cycle for an MTG set is 3-4 years, so I think we're probably safe for the next 3 years.

At least that's my hope, but that's consistent with how they tend to talk about things.

While granted that is possible, I am assuming they don't mean the known list, otherwise the statement says nothing. Roadmap is how they refer to their internal plans - so what that that says to me is there's no magic school sets under development. Means it's 3-4 years before we need to worry.

I don’t trust WOTC further than I can throw them, but I feel like these posts back to back (same wording and all) Is the closest they can get to saying "We are not doing Harry Potter" without pissing off their parent company that is doing HP toys.

I wouldn't say I'm optimistic. I am fully prepared for this outcome. I'm just trying to make sure that I'm considering all angles. There are reasons it won't happen. There are reasons it might. I'm just going to have fun until we find out what comes next.

You can only pull a leash so hard before it snaps.
When it does, make sure whatever is on the other end has no reason to bear you ill will, or you will learn how sharp its fangs are.

There would be a massive pushback by various content creators against it, like what happened with a bunch of them dropping Ultimate Guard when Ultimate Guard added Harry Potter boxes. I don't know if it would actually make them more money than it, and they gotta be considering that risk.

That's the thing though: I don't think it would. Yes the video game sold a lot, but this is in a community game. Unlike the game, you cannot play with these cards without people knowing it. So that means most tables that have a trans person at them won't. And then-

I'm allergic to my books hitting the bestseller list and require exposure therapy.

Like I said, I don't trust it either. But this is about the best we'll get in that regard since they have this partnership sadly.

Yeah, like I said earlier, WOTC has all but confirmed it's not in the works now on Reddit.
buuuuuuut... I am gonna be thinking heavily about how much I want my primary luxury expenses to be entangled with the company going forward. I can buy more indie art and games instead.

FWIW, a WOTC community mod basically said they don't currently have any HP plans. I don't *trust* it to stay, but it's *something.*
This is probably the closest we will get to official confirmation not to worry about Harry Potter: Universes Beyond anytime soon, which is a huge fucking relief. That's been one thing I've been dreading. (Also don’t buy fucking HP merch)

I tolerate universes beyond. Even have fun with it sometimes. But just as a lot of people are okay with UB if it brings something they like into Magic the Gathering, there are brightlines for me that would get me out of the hobby completely.
