You're about to find out this isn't a great place for monetizing white resent.

Put it this way, one of my favorite series that I read as I was getting into D&D back in high school was Julian May's Saga of the Pliocene Exile. Which led to one of my setting design maxims: "It should always be possible for a character to dig up or be gifted an ancient laser". My current...

Oh definitely. I've seen a lot of coverage in the mainstream media. I was just relating my recent experience. Frankly, I was a little surprised that it didn't come up.

I think that's true for a lot of the Very (Mostly?) Online segment of the D&D community. But over the weekend I played with 14 people in 2 groups and the OGL fiasco came up zero times in conversation. Both campaigns are 5e. One uses a paid Beyond sub for book-sharing, the other Roll20.

Is Colville usually this melodramatic?

City slickers save rural village. (this is the new campaign I’m playing in - as a dapper gnomish Eurotrash wizard)

Pathfinder 2e sounds interesting, but also significantly more complex than 5e while at the same time not 3.75e, either. How much time did it take 3.5/5e DMs to get up to speed running Pathfinder 2e? From what I've been reading lately, 2e sounds like it belongs squarely in the "I'd like to play...

While what you wrote is inarguably true, I'm go to argue with it (a little) because we're online. I like to think these kind of YouTubers as the human version of used-car lot advertising. They're both loud and attention-getting inherently commercial speech which is not, strictly-speaking, true...

Honestly I don’t begrudge them that. They’re businesses trying to make money in a highly competitive space.

In general, it’s a good idea to believe a company when they say they’re not doing something they can’t. Like if SpaceX puts out a statement swearing they’re not building a warp core.

That's a good point, and all the streaming video services have recently raised their subscription prices. But $30 for a new service still strikes me as a bad price point, even for the highest tier. The kind of number that a lot of people will react emotionally towards, rather than rationally.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to cancel Hulu. Please tell me we’ll see Jews In Space. They’re so topical now, what with their lasers and all. Omitting them would be a crime against comedy.

I got that feeling watching them!

Let’s grant the $30 highest-tier price is accurate. It’s still clickbait. The real questions are: is there a free tier and if so, how robust is it? What’s the standard tier subscription cost? Will there still be library sharing? Can a single group member share all their purchased content...

Right. Lose 3d6 SAN.

One the of many reasons I finally put them on pause for a while.

What we have here is a difference of opinion.

Apparently I’ve been here for 20 years. 21 come March. Huh.

Twice the monthly charge for Warcraft or HBO. A third more than the most expensive Netflix tier. Does that really sound credible to you?

This is a good time to remember social media personalities & assorted YouTubers are frequently businesses that make money from controversy.
