Ginny Di on the OGL

[darjr]

She introduced One D&D to the world on their big intro show.

 

[Vaalingrade]

They've employed her.

My company employs me, I've talked to VPs, and they infinity don't know who I am.

 

[DarkCrisis]

Nothing against her but being a D&D fan girl on YouTube will only take you so far.

Luckily there are a ton of great games out there for her to gush over.

Though again, they will only take you so far.

The again what do I know about YouTubers and income?

And this attitude is exactly the problem.

People act like a career choice that's more than a decade old is some newfangled flash in the pan fad and turn their noses up.

 

[Nikosandros]

I honestly doubt they know who she is, which all things considered is their myopia toward anything or anyone that isn't also someone they'd consider a competitor.

They know her, she was hired to present last summer D&D event.

I’m saying I don’t see it taking her into retirement. Or maybe it could.

I’d def say it’s a career where you want to hav other options if the bottom falls out. The internet can be fickle.

 

[darjr]

She's a creator, streaming dm, a great one, a leader in the hobby.

cheese and crackers!

They absolutely know her.

The Internet didn't do this, though.

This is a sponsor turning out to be carp, like when that "buy a plot of land, become a lord, and we'll plant a tree" thing turned out to be bogus.

Buddy, do you think ANY job is THAT safe right now? "To retirement" for someone who is 20 or 30-something now? So like, 30-40+ years?

I don't. The era of technological change we're in, particularly re: automation means basically any job could be eliminated or vastly reduced in importance.

Yeah, it's...ghastly looking at the future for young people.
