[QUOTE="DLIMedia, post: 8704933, member: 6668167"] My theory continues to be that Logan was the only writer they had that was worth a damn, but they decided to leave for reasons we've already discussed. At that point, I'm betting that Justin had some doubts as to whether he could use what Logan wrote in the final product. Either there were legal reasons why he couldn't (such as Logan being a "volunteer" and not paid for the writing) or if he simply didn't want to use it because he was angry at Logan... but now Justin has a problem: he has no product and nobody to write it except Dave Johnson, who has already contributed some small stuff. In light of all the lawsuits, Justin needed to have some semblance of a product... so he hands it almost in its entirety over to Dave Johnson, who goes to town on it. Dave Johnson is an easy mark; he can be easily manipulated and taken advantage of by Justin. Now, Dave Johnson proceeds to put a bunch of racist stuff in it because that's the kind of guy he is... Most normal people would have a problem with that, but not Justin. He not only needs some sort of product, but the way he sees it that controversial content will make the "woke" angry. I'll use his own words, which are taken from the following image which was posted to the DHSM and TSR Facebook pages... "we might ADD extreme content we'd otherwise not just to offend these types". [ATTACH type="full" width="477px"]255149[/ATTACH] So he embraces the racist stuff because it will upset his enemies... us "woke" folk. All things considered, Justin doesn't know what he's doing. He's never personally published a large product and is in way over his head. But he's likely way past the point of no return, the point where he can't simply drop the project and walk away. He's vested, and there's no way to stop WotC from coming after him. So he'll likely keep stringing us along for the next year, at some point having not much choice than to declare bankruptcy or something, and will likely do something terrible like sell the DHSM land and turn the lot into a gas station. Either way, none of this is going to end well. [/QUOTE]
