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.

The Culture: Of Course Just Using The Tools As Designed Threatens Them

Jeffro made this observation about a Clubhouse article I posted on Monday.

This one fact completely ruins D&D advice videos.

- Jeffro Johnson

Read on Substack

Given what bullshitters like Grifting Beast, SuperPedoMike, and other of that sort are known to do I am not at all surprised that (a) using a real game and (b) letting the tools do the work makes all of their busking bullshit irrelevant.

You can see the workflows in the rules. They do create what Gygax promised when used as directed.

The Culture: Streamers Do Have Value To Vidya Publishers

Been following the WOW Forever beta. The Roach King has been doing more practical testing than anyone else.

Asmongold is on record stating that he thinks Blizzard, at best, tolerates him.

They do need him, as they need all the streamers, but him more than everyone else due to his massive personal Network Effect. If he plays any MMO or similar game, that game sees sales and user engagement rocket off into the stratosphere.

For multiplayer in particular you need someone who can bring a massive network of users with him to stress the servers. Asmongold can and has done this, and he's doing this again now. Every day during this beta he's got 70K+ members in the various Olympus guilds (including Hoelympus, run by his girlfriend Kaise), and they stress the hell out of the servers all day every day.

In Tabletop, we all know of the Mercer Effect being one of the drivers driving the adoption of Current Edition. He is a streamer. Critical Role, and others like is, are all streamer shows. That they do this as a stunt event at cons shows the value of streamers for all entertainment now. STOP BEING DUMB ABOUT THIS!

This is what is required in pushing the needle. You ignore this at your peril.

Putting Together A Christmas Gift Guide Again

Okay, an admin post.

Around the end of November, I'll have a Christmas Gift Guide post with store links and all that jazz. Should be live on Black Friday.

I'll have links to BROZER, UMBROS, Winning Secrets, How To Win and so on as you ought to expect out of me by now. If there's any others I ought to put in there, drop me a line privately with a store page link between now and Thanksgiving's Day (US version, so November).
