The Culture: It's A Purpose-Built Machine With Objective Standards To Be Met

The big thing that the #BROSR found is that the Real Game is a holistic, purpose-built machine whose every part is required to achieve the desired and promised result to the user. It is not a bucket of LEGO. It is not Calvinball. It is not subjective in the least; BDubs has the right of it.

You think I’m exaggerating until yoh see the profile flags of those who use the most moronic talking points. “Ur 1st point makes 2nd pt bad bc it gives me the sads and ur 3rd point reminds me I hate my dad”. 100% #SoupAisle#BROXT #dnd #ThankYouJeffro https://t.co/6rlx8SaUSZ

All of the rules that the Bros talk about, and the practices that use them, are designed to interact in order to use emergent properties to generate the end result.

Braunstein is the summary of what the result is, and Total Non-Stop Braunstein is the practical implementation. (From UMBROS, pg. 65)

But what if, instead of running a Session Braunstein now and then, you refused to stop? What if every week, without fail, the factions of UMBROS clashed? Every week, a Session Braunstein. Whystop? Instead make it NonStop. A Total NonStop Braunstein!

Do you believe in three referees working in concert? One running Session Braunstein, one adventuring, one mid-level wars. A campaign in constant motion with every level of play represented. That is the Total NonStop Braunstein.

The TNB method will assure a drastically changing game world week to week. And, if you use 1:1 Jeffrogaxian Time (which you should), then you can easily allow Co-Referee’s to run weekly Sessions in your game world concurrent with your TNB campaign.

Total Non-Stop Braunstein is the Real Game.

The Clubhouse is the institution to realize this ambition.

This is how the hobby survives after the collapse of Conventional Play is complete, the Cargo Cult is dead, and the Normies/Tourists/Casuals fuck off to Vidya/Boardgames which is what they really want as Revealed Preferences have shown for decades. It is underground, it is elite, and it is non-commercial- a true hobby scene by and for those willing and able to meet the standards demanded.

We already know how the fight against the Cargo Cult, against the Soup Aisle, ends. I'll just do the portrait now.
