Today on Geek Gab, Daddy Warpig and Dorrinal talk about the cosmic-level battle over Stormbringer and how that can determine the fate of entire worlds and the campaigning that goes in within them.
I'll be in the chat.
This talk about how one series of events now threaten cosmic destruction for all connected worlds of the #BROSR is why I support this over the OSR. This is the promise of tabletop RPGs fulfilled. It is everything that MMORPGs promise but fail to deliver upon. It is everything that the OSR promises but fails to deliver upon. It is everything that Fake D&D, console RPGs--all other RPG competitors--promise but fail to deliver upon.
This is it. This is how it's done. One game. One ruleset. Seemless transition from table to table, all connected and always on because it's always done in real time. No time wasted on theater kid faggotry (looking at you Critical Role). No frustrated novelist syndrome. No nerd faggotry that rightly got parodied on Dexter's Lab Just a fantastic adventure wargame--a perpetual Braunstein--that's always running because logistics is a thing that you have to account for or get fucked by neglecting it.
Not even the Pundit and his clique achieve this, though they get closer than most.
And this approach is the only one that solves Macris' problems with RPGs that have sweet fuck-all for niche protection because it does away with the unspoken presumptions--wholly rebuts them--underlying that claim of needing niche protection.
As more people see this for what it is, more people will want in on the action and we are here for it. Much like the Fediverse, real RPG play cannot help but to promote its own attributes by cutting off those that won't conform (by prompting the fakes, whimps, and poseurs to do it themselves).
It is time to start demand RPG products that fulfill this promise and to stop tolerating those that do not- and if that means making the replacements ourselves, we do it.
Birthday is in two weeks. If you want to gift, more info is here, and some of the Steam items are on sale but that ends tomorrow morning.
