Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shakeshift" data-source="post: 8601540" data-attributes="member: 7034572">Ernie has done NOTHING in over forty years. No articles on the game, no rules, no empire-building, no professional commentary, no writing, nothing at all. All he does is game, and he doesn't even do that particularly well.Nothing but a failed Kickstarter for $129,000 that he couldn't and wouldn't complete. His main claim to fame is that his father named a mage in the game after him, and that's all.Luke Gygax in comparison has twenty times the respect that Ernie has. All Ernie has is a little bit of a pedigree. Luke has the same pedigree but actually puts IN the work. That's why Luke succeeds, and Ernie consistently fails. At GenCon they know Luke and he's a real celebrity. People barely even give Ernie a nod there. They hardly know (or care) who Ernie is, mainly because Ernie's rep is permanently trashed and Ernie's done nothing for the game his whole life and nobody cares who Ernie's dad was in the gaming industry forty years ago. That's all ancient history now. When Matt Mercer walks around with the Critical Role people it's press, autographs, and photographs. Ernie is crazy jealous about that in the arenas of gaming, but still too lazy to do anything about it.</blockquote>
