The Business: Wizards' Abandoning Of Tabletop Is Undeniable Now

More Conventional Play people are admitting that Tabletop is in chaos.


Play at 2x Speed for your own convenience.

Wizards had no plan for tabletop; this is because they are abandoning tabletop for vidya. Therefore no one else in Conventional Play has a plan because no one, when presented with this fact, put forth an alternative.

There is nothing there to replace what Wizards has done since it took over from TSR (who did this heavy lifting before Wizards). No attempt to get into Normie stories. No attempt to develop a competent Normie-to-Hobbyist onboarding process. No attempt to shape the Narrative Frame about the hobby. No attempt to do ONE DAMNED THING to replace what Wizards has done.

The Cargo Cult got confronted with evidence put before their eyes that The Cargo Shall Stop and they double-down on their dogma. This will end up in the business and cultural equivalent of the final days of the Jim Jones cult.

You don't want that.

You can either flee to Vidya or repent and come clean to the Clubhouse. Choose. Now.

And you have good reason to come clean, because Wizards confessed that the #BROSR is right about D&D and RPGs.

Conventional Play peeps, you just lost the argument against the Bros. You're done.

And Roll For Combat just showed the other day yet more evidence for why Wizards is abandoning tabletop for vidya.

And Clownfish reminds you yet again of another big tell that the medium shift is the plan.
