Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shakeshift" data-source="post: 8543175" data-attributes="member: 7034572">He's one of those people who just took his love of TTRPGs a little TOO literally. He started worshiping Cthulu as a real deity and doesn't think of him as a fictional creation made by Lovecraft. He proudly humble-brags about his covenant with Satan as a Satanic priest... right up until he tried blending his love of Satan and his beliefs for Cthulu together, so the Satanic church expelled him as a member for not being able to discern fantasy from reality. He's been expelled from numerous forums for being annoying/incendiary/toxicly narcissitic or sociopathic.He also pronounced a very public "Satanic curse of damnation" against RPG.Net for daring to disagree with him, which earned him eyerolls all across the country because his curse promised devastation, ruin, and eternal damnation and a decade later they're still doing just fine in spite of him (very dramatically) ordering Satan to curse every single person associated with the organization.Recently, he's started talking on his YouTube channel like he's a reawakened deity, claiming online that by tapping into your inner strengths, you can "influence" and shape your world around you, making yourself a veritable deity amongst mere "beta" mortals. It's just weak people pretending to be powerful to overcome their own insecurities. It gets a little old after a while, especially since as a reawakened deity amongst mere mortals, I'd expect a "god" to be able to gather more than 12 people to come to a convention he's founded based on his name. I'm guessing the bulk of the people attending are his gaming group and his family members, if I had to venture a guess.For as much as these hardcore right-winger people keep saying "Get woke, go broke", I've seen that TSRCon in Lake Geneva, DaveCon in Minneapolis, and now VengerCon in Madison.... they all suffer from a common problem, they can't get anyone to attend anything they try to assemble. They get 10 people, max. Nobody wants to go to their badly-conceived/badly-executed/unpopular cons. People don't want to pay $100 to go to a boring con, and that's the uniting factor that all three of these cons have in common. They're dull and expensive. They're not willing to do what they need to do to make their cons successful. They're TERRIBLE at doing their job as showrunner because they're unwilling to get off their soapboxes and put in the work and the effort. There IS no "TSR Army" to speak of, or if there is such an army, they don't want to follow a pack of people who aren't worthy of the title like Lanasa.It's a little sad to see them use that phrase "get woke, go broke", when WotC just posted 1.08 billion in profits, and VengerCon can't even get 12 people to sign up to attend a week of gaming. I guess being a self-actualized "deity" isn't as impressive as people would think LOL.</blockquote>
