[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9259818, member: 11760"] A lot of jumping to conclusions in this part, too. I'm hardly a WotC cheerleader, but a lot of this is just catastrophizing. Ben saying he has "experience" is highly misleading here, since his experience is "I talked to people who worked at the company years ago and may be in contact with some people who are there now but whom I can't name." As he says later on, he's a middle school teacher, not someone who's worked in publishing, not someone who's worked for WotC himself. Does WotC want to wall everything off in D&D Beyond? I dunno, but if so, putting WotC stuff on Foundry seems like a bad way to go about that. Oh, my dude, this is some really woolly thinking. I'd like to think that if one of your kids announced that the pushback to how they're doing their algebra problems just reinforces to them that they're doing it in a secret right way, you wouldn't pat them on the back and tell them that they're a brave truth teller. And Critical Role has been trending down over the last two years because the US has been opening up post-lockdown during that same period. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills that this is somehow mysterious and indicative of broader issues. (Also, your campaign can only handle having one Scanlan or one Jester. They screwed up group composition really badly in Campaign 3 because everyone was apparently jealous of Laura Bailey having a breakout character.) [/QUOTE]
