The Culture: BDubs, Dunder, And Your Campaign Sucks

The man who missed his calling in professional wrestling is back.

The man behind the #BROXT opened with a tribute to the late Hulk Hogan, who died last week.

Yes, the Soup Aisle's play is a Singularity of Suck. Conventional Play is Crap. The Bros do play better because they play correctly. The receipts just keep piling up.

The #BROXT turned out to be the cutting edge development branch of the #BROSR. BDubs' recent push to get players to write and publish After Action Reports, structured in a tournament format, got people to engage with the rules of the game in a manner heretofore unconsidered or ill-considered. The gains come on the Second Order Effect level; by having players write up their reports, they are compelled to engage differently with the rules which promotes better acquisition of proficiency and then mastery of the rules- and thus, in due course, are able to handle things themselves without needing the Referee present to see it all.

Yes, I implied that this is one way to build players into Referees. That's why I see the value in this.

The amount of public-facing stuff that the Bros produce is having far more impact than anyone thinks because it's not flashy or otherwise attention-whoring; quietly, behind closed doors, people are reading these reports or listening/watching and applying what they learn to their own tables.

And that is how and why the Bros will save the hobby.

Now, via the the Clubhouse being restored back into its proper place as the central institution, not the store or the publisher there will be a game in the future because Conventional Play is on its way out.

Oh, and here's that video about the AD&D1e Combat Wheel.
