No Darrington Press eh?

How sad.
Well at least they have their loyal fanbase.

Like others have posted, the Darrington crew almost certainly have metaphorical - and perhaps literal - guns to their head. Hasbro will want them to continue to promote the D&D brand, and are certain to face major repercussions if they just cut out and run in the middle of a campaign.

If Matt's been smart (and I hope he has), any such agreements will only last to the end of the Bell's Hells campaign.

I keep trying to tell people this. CR probably has a legal quagmire to wade through before they can publicly say or do anything more than they already have. Like you, my hope is that their current advertising contract with WotC/Hasbro for DND Beyond only lasts until the end of Campaign 3 and after that they'll throw their full support (and by extension that of their fan base) behind it.

And if they don't, though I love them, I have my torch and pitchfork prepared.

I mean, they probably have a legal quagmire on their hands dealing with this as is. I'm betting they do support it, they just legally can't do anything about it until their contracts with WotC/Hasbro have ended.
