No he doesn't but in being a prominent figure in the ttrpg community and posting publicly he very much opened up his comments to being interpreted and used by the general public and in turn bears some responsibility In making sure the message he was trying to deliver was the received correctly...

Well duh, didnt you see the earlier suggestion... apparently he's totally oblivious to social media, the comments in this thread and the audience he seems to be playing to and someone was supposed to specifically request he clarify posts he decided to tweet publicly because... well he's just not...

I imagine for some it could feel that way.

Who said anything about online? And it's always been in real life, again, unless you had the privilege to be able to ignore it. Oh and don't worry I'm already enjoying 5.5, but thanks anyway.

It always was... it's only those who were privileged that got to ignore it previously.

But the whole thing started ...on social media, and you think it's logical to assume he's oblivious to the replies, videos, etc... especially as a public figure in the D&D community with 70k followers... ok.

Then why ask the original question I replied to.

If 5 out of 5000 people understand what you meant... the problems probably with how you delivered it.

So invite him then. IMO... if someone mis-represents me I'm going to correct it, otherwise I'm giving implicit consent to the representation that's been presented.

Why does someone need to ask him too?

So why doesn't he clarify what he meant on X? Or just state outright that's not what he meant... because yeah if everyone seems to be deriving a different meaning from your words than you meant the onus is on you to clarify your intent.

I'd say it's fair as long as we keep in mind the validity of all opinions aren't equal.

For me at least, at this point I'd rather just play a dungeoncrawler boardgame... Descent, Heroquest, Massive Darkness, etc. Many even allow for progression and someone to "run" while being less prone to human errors and providing a much better arena to test skilled play.

That's not failing that's trying til you succeed.

This is what's more irritating... by being unclear in his meaning and choosing to post on X there are now all the regular suspect content creators (mainly OSR sphere) proclaiming the designer of 5e has seen the light and rejected both safety tools and the playstyle (including the increased...

No Man's Sky...

I'm still unclear what the point of your argument is... so ill ask again...what exactly do you feel WotC was being misleading about? The sales of '24 rulebooks that took place? Because whether digital or physical and whether by multiple people or one person... a sale of the PHB was a sale...

Wait...what?

What people "need" to hear? Ok, ill bite... please elaborate on what people "need" to hear about the way they choose to play ttrpg's...

Ok.... point? You don't believe it should be called out... don't. What you don't get to do is decide for everyone. The same way wr can't just decide you shouldn't get to complain about D&D whenever you want.
