*Hasbro's new head of Wizards of the Coast and its digital games starts today. A fictional 20-sided die approves.*

RENTON, Wash.—Hasbro has named Dan Ayoub president of Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro Digital Games, effective today, according to the company. He is the first internal candidate promoted into the role, which oversees Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons.

"We rolled for it," said a fictional 20-sided die in a lobby display case. "Kidding. There was a rigorous search. But I would have rolled a 20."

A fictional survey of 300 tabletop players found that 72% approved of the promotion and 28% asked whether it came with bonus hit points.

The Daily SKU is satire. Headlines and stories riff on real e-commerce, CPG and retail news, but the people, quotes, studies, surveys and most numbers are invented. No real person’s words are made up here. Each article ends with a factual “The Real Story” box and a “Riffing on” line linking the genuine reporting. Not investment advice. Not any kind of advice.
