The Culture: Lying Oldfag Boosts Lying Newfag On Hit Against The Bros

Joe, and the man he's quoting, is a lying faggot.

You know this was a hit-piece against the Bros. This is the tell:

The Realization: After editing, Jacob concluded that 1e AD&D was never truly intended to be played strictly by the book; instead, it relied on the Dungeon Master to wing it and adapt the rules to keep the game fun (6:54-9:37)

This is a bald-faced lie. Joe knows it's a lie because Joe knows that the #BROSR exists and has been successful doing exactly this. Joe is a lying faggot and should be treated accordingly. So should Jacob.

And this? This is B/X Brain.

Methodical Play: The video highlights that early D&D was meant to be a slow, methodical experience centered on dungeon delving for the "love of the game" rather than driven by character backstories or grand narrative arcs (11:03-12:30)

Motherfucker, this is not B/X!

Of course you wouldn't know that because you never played the game that exists; you made a non-game based on your half-assed comprehension of B/X and called it that. This is no different than me, a cripple in a wheelchair, calling the act of getting on a E-Trike and rolling my way across a course of 26 miles "running a marathon" or what the BBC rightly got roasted for doing.

Words mean things, you two-faced faggot!

So no, you lied. You lied about AD&D1e. You lied about RPGs. You lied about your own acumen. You are a two-faced lying faggot, knowingly lying about people you don't like for effect, and you deserve to be punished for your perfidity. Jacob, being your Newfag counterpart, deserves the same.

The Culture: Chainmail Done Right Is Easy

Jon Mollison's recent Chainmail videos show how it's done.

The game is not as hard as it seems, and it scales well.

What is barely addressed here is that what Chainmail allows is already embedded into AD&D1e, including the scaling.

This means that you could play the exact same scenario with AD&D1e and get the same experience, albeit with some extra steps.

The game works when you let it do what it is designed to do, so Just Play D&D.

The Culture: Oldfag Tries To Be Relevant And Fails

"Let's talk Braunstein without saying so!"

That's what this video is: talking about running the module as a Braunstein without saying it is, without crediting the Bros, without mentioning even Grifter Griff or Dave Weasely, or otherwise giving credit where it's due but instead using Oldfag posturing to steal credit and pose it as Cargo Cult Good Practice.

Contemptable faggotry from contemptable faggots.

The Business: Mearls Clowns Himself

Funster comments on Mearls confessing that he's an incompetent retard.

TLDR: Everything shit about 3e was there in Current Edition edition, but worse.

Mearls clowned himself twice now, and seeing him try to fob this off as Not Really His Fault is some womanly faggotry worthy of a Gamma Male.

Never hire this man to do jack shit again.

The Business: I Told You This Wouldn't Happen

Bob The World Faggot confesses the obvious.

NOT ONE WAS WORTH SHIT!

No, Hololive playing Faggotheart isn't going to change anything.

There is D&D and there is Nothing, so far as the commercial side goes and mostly true on the hobby side.

Just Play D&D.

The Business: WOTC, Alas, Can't Lose Here

Pundit talks WOTC and Mouse Wars.

Is he correct? Yes.

Will it matter? No.

This will do fine, despite itself, and satisfy WOTC and Disney's expectations. There's more than enough people who will get it, use it (some straight, some after modification), and be satisfied with it that condemnation will do nothing.

And once people realize that they can mix in WOW stuff with D&D and Mouse Wars, that's when It Gets Worse.

An Affectionate Shitpost

Me reading the plots of various actors in the Tower campaign, dramatized.

Yes, Mr. Stancil, it do be like that.
