Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deset Gled" data-source="post: 8864000" data-attributes="member: 7808">I think we can agree to disagree about the severity of the Kim Mohan posts from NuTSR.  But as someone who has been reporting on NuTSR BS for a surprisingly long time now, I am also completely in agreement with you that there is a line about what to report about NuTSR and what should be ignored.  FWIW, there is a surprisingly long list of posts and info I have come across about NuTSR (largely Lanasa, specifically) that I don't post here for multiple reasons.  Unfortunately, the line of what is worth re-posting is not always clear.  Here's an very recent example where I ask myself "is this worth reporting on?":[ATTACH=full]270039[/ATTACH]From one POV, this is just pure cringe.  Reporting it serves no real purpose but to laugh at Lanasa, and reposting it may actually result in just giving him more attention (apparently, someone at Lanasa's tattoo shopped actually did some work on this actor). So maybe it should just be ignored.OTOH, reporting this with additional info reveals more about NuTSR.  A little digging shows that this picture is actually from some time around September 2007.  Also, it's worth noting that NuTSR misspelled the actor's name: Chad Michael Murray.  Knowing those things, it shows how desperate Lanasa is to make any celebrity connection he can, to the point where he's digging through decades old promo material from his tattoo shop to find it.  And misspelling the name highlights how little Lanasa actually cares about the actor or his gaming audience.  Also, this combined with posts like the last one about his TKD belt shows how much NuTSR's social media is about stroking Lanasa's ego rather than gaming.  From that POV, it's notable.And the final consideration I always think about is: Is it important to document this?  So much stuff from NuTSRs social media disappears.  They are obsessed with controlling the narrative, and delete things on a whim (while oddly letting some really questionable things stay forever).  Is there any chance I'll want to reference this later?FWIW, I don't really know the answer.  I'm not a professional reporter; I'm just a slacktivist.  The issue of how much spare time (alternatively: insomnia) I have when I see something pop up from NuTSR is another notable factor in what gets reported, even if it shouldn't be.  Even right now, I'm using this post as an example rather than making a real choice.I'll also note that doxxing and making fun of mental illness are never appropriate.And on a final note, there is a bit of what may be actual news from NuTSR about gaming:[ATTACH=full]270044[/ATTACH]I don't really know what this means.  "Those Pesky Goblinz" is actually something that Lanasa made a while ago.  There was a video of it in play from the NuTSR Youtube last year, but it's since been taken down (if anyone has a copy, please let me know).  It has a ISBN that was assigned almost a year ago that shows it was "published" in June 2022 (FWIW, ISBN also shows that SFNG was "published" in June).  Someone named "Kylie Jones" gets an art credit.ISBN info:  <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Goblinz/S7DvzgEACAAJ?hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwip5dLnkYX8AhVzKFkFHcv5BaEQiqUDegQIDxAH" target="_blank">Goblinz</a>My first take is that this is just an adventure that Lanasa cooked up as a DM that he's trying to put on paper.  I doubt it will be anything approaching a full "RPG".</blockquote>
