[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8984041, member: 18"] LOL you wanted a citation for something uncitationable, so you were essentially making an appeal for authority then got it. There's absolutely nothing "weird" about it. You'd be astonished how much more you can than that. And such sarcasm and sneering! Get off your high horse, is my advice. What next, a grandfatherly lecture of on the virtues of self-reliance and values of the Old West or something? Bruce Baugh himself in another thread or earlier in this was talking about how extremely valuable thing kind of thing was, but I guess Bruce Baugh is talking out of his arse in your rather superior opinion, and given your huge knowledge and experience of contracting for TTRPG companies? Not if they don't want to - as I said, in the bit you quoted from, there are people who provide this sort of thing. If your industry is unusual or you feel like you can handle it, do it yourself by all means, but it's not required. These are all answerable questions, but they would require us to know the specifics. That's up to the employer. It's silly to pretend any of those are blockers - they're just question you, personally, do not know the answer too. Which is not the same as a blocker at all - as you well know! Uh-huh. That's not actually a point, or an argument, nor contains any wisdom. It's just an everyone-has-them-opinion, and rather empty one at that. It doesn't even conflict with this. So back in your day that's how it worked, so what, that's how it should always work? That opinion has been deployed literally every single time anything about work changes, for better or worse. Again, not a rational argument. The people are asking for pretty specific things, and for WotC to discuss it with them - it's the start of a process, not the end of one. We're not the ones benefiting nor negotiating. [/QUOTE]
