I tried writing a video script about the OGL debacle but it was literally too depressing, so I scrapped it. Hasbro is going to get what it wants. None of this other shit matters to them. They're going to convert D&D into a digital loot-box game, it will make them a lot of money.

Hey, folks. "Gypsy" is a slur. If you're not Romani, it doesn't matter how cool you think the word is and how much you wanna use it. If it's justified in the narrative (eg, your character uses racial slurs and it's clear they're ignorant and/or a bigot), ok. But otherwise ...

Reminder also that a lot of folks of minority have their livelihood tied to #WotC/#DnD/#DndBeyond. As a source of income As a source of safety As a source of accessibility People who are #LGBTQIA/#BIPOC/#Disabled/#Neurodivergent. They cannot pivot as easily as you. Have grace

After 9 years of weirdos insisting WotC was going to “get woke, go broke,” the thing that’s actually hurting them is, yknow, being super capitalist

Quick story. When DDB was first acquired by WotC, I had a conversation with someone on the WotC side. They told me that DDB was only successful because of the D&D logo and not the work we had put into it for 5 years. It’s a culture of arrogance.

Crazy to watch how companies will stumble into success on accident and then later down the road will forget why/how. Gaming industry tried to do this with their modders WoTC is gonna learn a hard lesson about how much of their brand dominance exists ONLY because of the OGL.

It's reeeeal funny that some companies get it twisted & think they are the hand that feeds. When in fact it is it's community that is said hand which feeds them... *Coughs in OGL* Don't Bite.

Actual play is unnatural because there are a whole bunch of people who experience your game and think about what happened and try to figure things out instead of ignore everything you say in order to shop.

I got to hit a 2 year reveal a few weeks ago and it was the most cathartic experience of my life.

Sometimes RPing things like anger or tension can bleed into the real world, which can be harmful for your friendships & your games. Consider occasional events with your party that don't require you to play the game. Remind yourselves why you're friends in the first place! #dnd

Please normalize letting people eat their lunch alone if they want and decompressing for 30 min without the pressure of being considered antisocial in the workplace.
