The Culture: Jeffro And The Superversive Crew Talk Winning Secrets And The Culture

Sunday saw Jeffro go on with the Superversive crew.

Winning Secrets is going to be a world-shaking book, first in Tabletop and then--because Tabletop exercises stupidly-outsized cultural influence globally via Dungeons & Dragons--into other culture-shaping media, where it is not out of line to conceive of Jeffro being a hidden pillar in the future culture to come by the end of the century as Gygax and Arneson was for the 20th (and preserved that of the 19th via Appendix N).

This not being a Gaming show, we get to see Jeffro talk about the intellectual and spiritual side of the hobby.

You want the other side of the matter? You'll get it here.

The Culture: Winning Secrets On The Gab!

Jeffro and Rule of Thule appeared on the Gab over the weekend.

Daddy Warpig mentions a Tweet showing that the Bros weren't making shit up.

The TORG Infiniverse campaign, and EVERY SINGLE PUBLISHED SOURCEBOOK, MODULE, AND THE INFINIVERSE NEWSLETTER ITSELF ran on 1:1 campaign time from April of 1990 until it ceased publication in 1995.

Some 6,000-10,000 fans across the world playing, with their GM's submitting… pic.twitter.com/TVwX89r7wz

Jeffro mentions that SJ Games handled Car Wars the same way.

But no, the Bros are going further. The Bros are solving the problem that turns most prospects off from the hobby because competing media does what Conventional Play does so much easier, better, and cheaper- something Wizards of the Coast is painfully aware of and seeing it as a problem.

The Culture: Take The Next Step And Put The Pieces Of The Machine Together

Jeffro mentioned this channel during the Dunder Moose stream. Earthnote is, like Grifting Beast, seeing that the Bros are getting traction. What he is not yet doing is outright stealing what the Bros did and claiming it for himself; he is in the "Hey, there's all these parts lying around; what do they do?" stage before he starts asking what happens if you put the parts to gether. Below's a couple of his videos showing it.

The thing that follows, but so many so far have shied away from, was expressed so well the other day by Jon Mollison.

That’s the part critics never seem to grasp. They think the BROSR is claiming ownership of individual ideas. But the real insight wasn’t about any single mechanic. It was about the interaction of those mechanics. The way they reinforce each other. The way they produce emergent play that no single rule can generate on its own.

Put them together. Rebuild the machine. Turn it on, and watch it go.

Because yes, when you combine the parts you get a synergy that makes the machine greater than the sum of those parts. You didn't listen; now we're here, and you're playing catching.

The Business: Those DungeonTubers May Be Lying To You

We have Influencer Scandal Time.

These are just the ones that got caught.

We know that Wizards of the Coast bribes YT channels to shill. Some are honest about it. Some.

It is worth looking to see who isn't, and who else (there aren't many, but on the other hand DungeonTubers are cheaper than crackwhores to buy so it could be done) is playing the John to these whores.

And folks wonder why I oppose commercializing the hobby.

The Culture: The Chief & Subchief On Natural One To Talk Winning Secrets

BDubs and Jeffro came on The Basic Expert's Natural Ones to promote Winning Secrets.

It's now clear that not only did the Boomers deliberately lobotomize the hobby, but many of those still alive from back then have shown their ass regarding their own competency at the game.

Nope, all those old-timers did--after 50 years--is provn that They Played The Game Wrong For 50 Years.

The Bros, simply by READING THE FUCKING MANUAL AND FOLLOWING ITS RULES EXACTLY, have proven by doing that they play the game right and thus are better than the OGs at the game and thus the hobby.

There's so much ass-madding over this.

Fuck them. The Bros brought the receipts. The Bros have evidence; they have asspulls. The Bros win, and the result is that YT grifters and strivers are moving (and have moved) to get out in front of this repeatedly to steal credit for it (e.g. Grifting Beast, Earthnote, etc.) while riding a rising tide changing--fixing--the hobby to farm clout and boost their YT and other social media profiles and thus make them better at shilling for paymasters.

The Hobby Belongs To US!

The Culture: The Tribal Chief In His Own Words

Jon Mollison put up this video featuring Jeffro Johnson today at 4:15am Central Time.

Back Winning Secrets.

Jeffro made the Pulps cool to talk about again.

Jeffro forced the authors of Appendix N--all of them, not just just a few world-famous ones--back from the Memory Hole, such that they had to make a sham Appendix N book.

Jeffro, with the Bros, brought back the justification for Tabletop to exist AT ALL when Conventional Play is always done better as a Videogame.

Jeffro matters. Winning Secrets, following on from How To Win, finishes his work in fixing what the Boomers broke. Back it.

None of the ankle-biters have done more than Jeffro to unfuck what got fucked up around 1980, both in Literature and in Tabletop. Many, instead, WANT TO MAKE IT WORSE! They profit from the problem.

Fuck them. I DISAVOW ALL OF YOU!

You need Winning Secrets, you need Braunstein, you need to play the Real Game- and you need to throw the Product Merchants into the Memory Hole.

No more fencesitting. This is what Tabletop Adventure Games are and have to be to justify their existence. Everything else cannot, so it does not, and it should not exist- and soon enough, it will not because The Collapse Comes For Them All.

The Culture: The Tribal Chief & Friends On With The Women's Champion

On Sunday, Jeffro and his collaborators appeared with Women's Division Champion Harmony Ginger to talk Winning Secrets.

Winning Secrets not only funded, but hit its first Stretch Goal. You are safe to back this now.

Note something that a lot of detractors omit: Jeffro mentioned that the Bros got to where they are BY ITERATION VIA TRIAL AND ERROR. Step by step the Bros pulled all of what the Boomers tossed down the Memory Hole back, figured out how it worked, and (as of now) not only got each part working but successfully reconstructed the real machine that those Boomers originally published and got it operational again.

"The rules were not incomplete for Braunstein play."

The Real Game was complete. People played it wrong and the Boomers did sweet fuck all about it. They just willfully lobotomized the game. That should have led to outright seizure of the company instead of what went down, but that would have inconvenienced Boomers so no- and that's before the Blumes and the Buck Rogers heiress did their damage.

The Bros recovered the Real Game, and restored the Real Hobby. The machine is spreading in its use; all that remains is the organization that needs that machine, which is why the Clubhouse is now ready to return.
