I need to clarify something now, as I think it's necessary if this discussion is actually going to go anywhere meaningful: Are you operating from the assumption that Cannon lied and made all this up - the threats, his wife's tears - to get views?

Why are you assuming the person with the YouTube channel is a "clout chaser chasing clout"? By that logic, I have a YouTube channel, so I would also be a clout chaser chasing clout, and so would the people who run this site. And again, I also trust Linda Codega to have done her due diligence in...

And that requires me to give both the Pinkertons (who wrote the report to Wizards) and Wizards the benefit of the doubt. I'm not inclined to give Wizards the benefit of the doubt, and I don't trust the Pinkertons at all ever - and as demonstrated by the stories I linked about the shooting in...

No, I'm not being silly. Wizards has a demonstrated track record, starting with the OGL fiasco, of lying when their policies blow up in their face - and they've basically done so here. This is their first statement from the original article: Here's the second statement from the follow-up...

We agree that Cannon is not a multi-million dollar corporation. We agree that Cannon has some experience playing Magic: The Gathering. We agree he is married. We agree that he did not attempt to retract the previous version of the OGL and replace it with a version that would force publishers to...

Except - as the excerpt of the article I mentioned earlier said - Wizards hasn't been disputing what the "clout chasing YouTuber" said. They're just saying that what happened isn't illegal - except that part doesn't do anything to build trust. It could have been this guy had decided to take the...

Yeah, not to go too far off on a tangent - I let the label take monetization... and then a little later it became a moot point because Logan Paul decided to go to Japan and mock a corpse in the Suicide Forest, and people kept re-uploading it on other channels, leading to YouTube engaging in a...

I believe part of the conditions of Youtube's settlement with the MPAA and RIAA which lead to them instituting the ContentID system is that copyright claimants are assumed to always be correct (even if they very much aren't - several extortion operations are running that use illicit copyright...

They also have options to require signature confirmation for the delivery (for the postal service, it costs a little extra, but not that much extra - dunno about FedEx, UPS, or DHL). If delivery is refused, then those companies log that in their systems, and would create a paper trail that...

From the Kotaku article by Sisi Jiang: Magic: The Gathering YouTuber Says Pinkertons Threatened Him With $200k Fines, Jail

And the Pinkertons didn't need to tell the guy that if he didn't hand over the cards now they go to the Sherrif and report that all the guy's Magic cards were stolen, getting him charged with a felony. Except the Pinkertons did that.

Yup. You hire a Process Server, and the Process Server escalates to threatening to get the person charged with a felony for when they were serving papers for a relatively minor issue (by comparison), and the news story goes national (or international) - for an issue could have happened to any of...

I wouldn't say it's flopped. Going from Box Office Mojo, it's stayed in the Top 10 - the films that have dropped it down in the rankings are either films that are very much for kids (Mario Bros) or horror films that aren't going for the same audience (Renfield - Horror-comedy, The Pope's...

I will admit that I really liked some of the adventures from Call of Cthulhu D20 and really wish they'd gotten adapted to standard Call of Cthulhu.

That said - I've seen awareness of it on some of the non-TTRPG discords I'm on and podcast I listen to - the Axe of the Blood God podcast (a Console/Computer RPG podcast) brought it up in passing on their most recent episode, and this also came up on the Discord servers for LoadingReadyRun (the...

The suspicion I've seen is this is all to avoid paying residuals to the people who worked on those shows. So, they're probably not going to receive a physical media release either.

To put a lot in perspective with HBO Max - at the start of the year I was worried about the consolidation of the anime industry and how bad this was for competition when Sony/Funimation bought Crunchyroll, and what this would mean in the long term. After Discovery+ bought Warner Brothers (who...

I wonder if we'll get any new art (or previously unseen art) from Studio Trigger?

I think it also bears mentioning that depending on the circumstances, some locks might not be in the best of shape - a locked chest in a dungeon might be one the occupants recently brought in with them... or the chest might have been sitting in the dungeon for quite some time and hasn't been...

Going from the automatic translation on Twitter, it looks like they're doing an animated commercial (PV is short for "Promotional Video" for the starter set with each of the pre-gens that are included in the box. The thread has the character designs for each of the characters and their voice...
