Bob has 0 toxicity. He's always cheerful, friendly and enthusiastic. He's criticised WotC occasionally, but nothing toxic. Bob and Ginny are at the top of my list as examples of positivity on the net.

Yeah. Starting to believe it's proof that we do slip into alternate dimensions. Or maybe it's the singing and soya sauce maps.

My fuzzy owl bear dice bag is the only D&D merch I own but I'm very fond of it.

Yep. We don't know any past consultants' contributions. We often don't even notice they were there. Tiny line on copyright page. Their voice will not affect the direction of game.

Our kids are grown. I've had a good job for many years. I buy lots of rpg books because I love having them, reading them and playing... some of them. 😁 I certainly do not want companies to stop churning out games or new editions. There is absolutely nothing wrong with spending money on your...

Once again, Bob negative? I'm not at all seeing this version of Bob. And the survey has spread to other sites. Bob shared his answers to the WotC survey and it wasn't negative. Even Professor DM's shared response was positive and neutral. Of course, I could be wrong, but I'm not predicting a...

WotC had message boards back then. There were a lot of play testers on them. The designers never came out and said that the sorcerer was rejected. They said, if I remember correctly, that we were unhappy with the class being OP. Then we didn't see the sorcerer for a while, then we got a 3e...

The Next sorcerer was criticised for being over powered but the design seemed to go over very well. Most of us asked for the team to tone it down but PlEASE keep the idea. I remember the large backlash when it got scrapped in favour of a 3e version. Still stings. 😕

I'm wondering why some posters here are assuming Bob's survey results will be a WotC/D&D hate fest... I'm assuming it'll be like/love D&D, Neutral on WotC, neutral on current D&D direction, D&D increasing in popularity and WotC decreasing in popularity.

What a fun interview! Geeses for life!

Robin Laws is one of my favourite game designers. He was one of the consultants on the 2014 PHB. This had no impact on my interest in 5e. I do not find Laws' fingerprints all over the design philosophy of 5e. It is D&D, not a Robin Laws game. Mercer is just a consultant. If you don't like...

The names will be under a tiny line on copyright page. People don't usually even read who the consultants are, so not sure name brand recognition so to speak, is going to drive sales of new DMG. Hopefully, good advice is given, which is really the main point of consultants.

So far it does seem that people who have played Daggerheart come away pretty happy. It'll need some fine tuning for sure and the creators want playtesters to push the game hard to expose breaking points. I'm feeling pretty optimistic but we'll have to wait and see. Just hope gamers can...

The Dungeon Minister is a great channel. He's an old schooler and Anglican priest. He does recaps of GMing for his family which are delightful. He's also very funny and personable.

I watch your channel every week and really enjoy it. I don't think you chase drama too much! You're very fair and balanced.

Ginny Di is fun and has great advice, especially for new players/GMs.

I follow his videos and I'm honestly not seeing this. He does a mix of tips, interviews and discussions of other rpgs. And his fun videos on rations and experiments with potion drinking times. Yes, there's been a few videos criticising WotC, but only when WotC needs calling out. I'm not seeing...

I think this is unfair to Bob. He has a solid, entertaining channel without the click-bait drama. There are others as well: Questing Beast, Seth Skorkowsky, Lazy GM, Bandit's Keep, Tegan J. Gaming, to name a few. It's not all shocked faces and red arrows pointing to the DOOM of our hobby.

What is all this negativity toward Bob? I find him to be one of the most courteous, non-click baity you tubers out there. Bob is disappointed with some of WotC's decisions, but is definitely not rolling out "I hate WotC and here's why YOU should too!" videos. Bob is re-doing the survey out of...

Tegan J. has a good channel. They do a thorough game of the month with an introductory video, a thorough review/breakdown of the game video and then the team live streams the game. If you are curious about a particular rpg, this is a fantastic way to get a really good taste and analysis.
