    The fact that it’s “DND” makes the rumour incredibly sus since that’s not what the IP is called. It’s only a colloquialism. Hasbro/WOTC always use the ampersand since it’s part of the D&D branding.

      The article clearly says they use the shorthand “DND” for their article. The fact that’s it’s “DND” and not D&D is likely due to the fact that it’s a chinese publication and also maybe a stylistic choice.

      Speed Daily exclusively learned that the American toy company Hasbro is seeking to sell its well-known IP “Dungeons & Dragons” (referred to as “DND” below), and Tencent is one of the potential buyers.
