The Culture: The Theater Kids Aren't Pretending Anymore

The Pundit can't even.

They don't play. They're Theater Kid pretending to be gamers.

This is not at all surprising, and yet Wizards of the Coast keeps trying to pander to these broke-assed poseurs despite their revenue coming from actual hobbyist gamers because the company is captured by Death Cultists for whom pushing the poz trumps producing playable product.

This isn't working in Vidya, Comics, Novels, or another commercial entertainment media and there isn't an infinite amount of money to prop it all up anymore--yes, it's drying up, but those resevoirs got filled before the cutoff so this is a long draining process; the aim being to outlast the pressure--which (so far) only C-Suite (due to pressure from Hasbro) is at all aware of.

In short, Home Office needs to do some Tard Wrangling in Seattle.

This has to stop, for the cold-as-ICE reason that it's damaging the Brand and with it the Network Effect- and as it goes, the entire hobby goes.

Which means retarded shit like what the LOLcow pulled has to be openly, brutally, and ruthlessly mocked and derided--bullycided--into a ditch.

You can see how badly the Muh Narative brainrot hollowed out his skull.

He doesn't play, by the way. He's a Gamma's Gamma, so no one will play with him; this why all he does is ramble in his car. That's why other OSR guys farm him for content while they bully him for being a retarded megafaggot.

Burn the faggots. Save the hobby.

The Business: "Rules LOL" Is A Cargo Cult Self-Own

Roll For Combat on the narrative attack.

Predictable blather is predictable.

But it does open up a massive line of attack: If, as you say, "Folk D&D" doesn't care about rules then why are you selling yours? LOLCow Garipay gets it. Dancey got it. Cargo Cultists pretend not to get it, but they do as their behavior reveals.

The reason is simple: there is no reason to buy anything but Official Game if the rules don't matter. This is another reason to Just Play D&D.

The reality is that Only D&D Matters. Nothing else does. Not even Cthulhu (most don't know COC exists), Traveller, HERO, or RIFTS.

In reality, what matters is D&D, Warhammer, Star Wars, and BattleTech. Not even Cyberpunk and Shadowrun (despite videogame tieins) matter anymore, while both BT and SW hang on by threads.

The Culture: Yes, TouristFag, They Are

Bob The Tourist Soyfag said something.

Since he's not worth an embed, I'll let the bot summarize.

Bob World Builder examines how tabletop RPG publishers use nostalgia as a product strategy. By contrasting recent releases from Dungeons and Dragons with successful independent games like Shadow Dark and Neon Odyssey, this analysis explores the balance between honoring classic influences and delivering original, modernized experiences in an age dominated by corporate reboots.

He pushes the same shit GriftingBoi, The Professor, and other Cargo Cult cunts do.

Being a Tourist, he's married (despite his fronting otherwise) to Wizards of the Coast and to Current Edition because that's all he knows or cares about as shown by actions.

He won't do what actually works: playing older editions. That doesn't keep him in the graces of the Cargo Cult, or with WOTC, so he won't go there.

Fuck that poseur Tourist twigfag soyboi.

The Culture: Purge The Heretic, The Mutant, The Traitor

Time to get wise, and harden up.

In the little and the large, how you are in the small is how it goes over all.

Good Order is not just for the macro issues.

The Culture: No, Oldfag Cargo Cultist, They Will Not Just

The Professor shills for CONSUME DIFFERENT PRODUCT to solve the problem his own cult caused.

This is a "Just do (X)" argument.

Fuck you, retard. THEY WILL NEVER JUST!

Network Effects means this is a non-starter, and the Professor is a dunce to make it because he knows--I've told him, repeatedly--that this is not an answer and linked him the receipts.

So yes, he did the meme.

The only viable action is to play older D&D editions. That keeps you in The Only User Network That Matters, reduces friction to zero, and actually fucking works.

You'd think he'd know better, but he's incentivized not to so here he is being stupid on main. 50 years of history shows he's wrong, over 25 since Dancey explained with charts and graphs why he's wrong, and independently demonstrated by parallel competing media multiple times since, and here he is telling you that you're really going to kick that ball this time Charlie Brown.

Just play earlier--better--D&D.

The Culture: One Post Encapsulated The Matter Perfectly

Sometimes you come across something so complete that it needs to be shared.

Untold devastation was wrought on D&D play when the left half of the painting with the hirelings doing grunt work was omitted, leaving players with the impression that an expected party only had 5 members. 🙃 https://t.co/k5SrDkEJ5D

No lies detected. Henchmen and Hirelings--your man's subordinates, whom you command--are a load-bearing pillar of the hobby and their omission is a major contributor to the lobotomization into the Cargo Cult.
