[QUOTE="SlyFlourish, post: 9558096, member: 54840"] That's not true. I made the [I]original[/I] video in which I walked through the PHB (quite enthusiasticly if you watch it) and it so happened I was going to be running a Kickstarter at the time so that was fortuitous. Then Blur-Gate happened and boy that chapped my ass and yeah, I did do a video about that to explain why I had to deface my own videos and how stupid that was. Then WOTC went back [I]again[/I], saying "sure, you can repost that video up we told you to deface". All of that drama did get a lot of views and my Kickstarter certainly benefitted from that but I absolutely did not go into this intending to use this drama to drive my Kickstarter. Let's be straight here. This isn't about potential conflicts of interest. This is about not liking the opinions I have on the game you love. That's cool. You don't have to agree with me. I still love D&D – actual D&D – not using that as a term for 5e. There's lots to dig in the two D&D 2024 books we have and I'm eager to dig into the 2024 Monster Manual. But the dodge of "he's doing it for the clicks" is so tiresome. I hear it all the time aimed at lots of video producers when, the truth could very well be that they (and I) believe what we're saying. My whole point in this post (which somehow got resurrected) is that you can love D&D and be fine. If you don't love D&D (or Hasbro), you can still enjoy 5e. And if you don't enjoy 5e, there are tons of other RPGs to play. We're all covered here. [/QUOTE]
