[QUOTE="TreChriron, post: 9377964, member: 5046"] Personally, I felt that making that promise to try to keep people around who don't share your vision was foolish. Why not stick to your guns and find people to run with you? Despite all the hate for web3 and NFT here, it's not a bad plan. NFTs are not just cute pictures you collect. They have technological uses. It could drive a "collectible" RPG platform where you play online and build characters with these components. Standard components are cheap and easy (STR 14 = $2), and others are more expensive (Alien artifact that gives you STR 20 = $25). The underlying blockchain can verify the validity of the component (NFT); you don't have to worry about someone copying the cute picture—the picture doesn't matter. It would be easy to run an organized play system using this verification. Everything is on the blockchain, and components are verified. You don't have to waste any time verifying a character is legal for play. As seen in other online gaming marketplaces (official or grey market), plenty of cash exists for people building up characters and selling them—or cool magic items, or mods—all kinds of stuff. The NFT approach would be similar, with the added benefit of being within a controlled, transparent, verifiable ecosystem. You could have contests or special releases where players can find cool, unique components. DMs could be incentivized with awards and titles. There is plenty of opportunity to combine TTRPGs and MMO-style computer games and drive a marketplace to support them. Now, dealing with a business owner who lies and misleads to run their company? It doesn't help Web3 that so many charlatans use it to deceive and rob people. The early Internet was a Wild West as well. The idea is sound, but the company agitating for it doesn't seem like a good entity to do business with. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
