And in any case, I don't think they're playing it. I think that what's really going on here is that they're guys with business degrees with next to zero real knowledge of the hobby, and they're making very very bad assumptions about what people will want to hear or how they want to hear it, often to the point of not even understanding certain linguistic land-mines that you could only know as a real hobby-insider.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-64423083779303609342014-05-22T13:18:10.160-04:002014-05-22T13:18:10.160-04:00Can't we all just kill each other with big ass...Can't we all just kill each other with big ass magic weapons and get it over with?

I think they're living in the 24-hour-news-cycle world. The initial motion causes buzz that will invariably die after a few cycles. Subsequent motion will then reinvigorate that buzz. They keep this up through release and D&D has been on everyone's lips for months. Especially if all of the END OF THE WORLD scenarios are wrong. Then the argument includes discussion and analysis of how stupid those people were for not seeing the awesomeness.BobMcDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02276146817583767237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-7879762256514530832014-05-22T10:53:04.604-04:002014-05-22T10:53:04.604-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-10502457207911679072014-05-21T21:54:16.067-04:002014-05-21T21:54:16.067-04:00And I wasn't hired to be a 'standard beare...And I wasn't hired to be a 'standard bearer'; I was hired because I'm a well-known and influential figure in the hobby, particularly known as an old-school gamer, because of my skill as a critic and reviewer, and for my insight and relentless sincerity in my analysis. I'm not a spokesperson, I'm an advisor on how the game should or shouldn't work.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-45208979827181864612014-05-21T21:51:34.572-04:002014-05-21T21:51:34.572-04:00When you said "we have no proof of your suppo...When you said "we have no proof of your supposed inside information", you in essence called me a liar. You weren't questioning my understanding, insight or perspective; you were directly claiming that I did not in fact have the information you claimed I had.<br />You added that until Mike Mearls himself told you that I was in touch with him you'd choose not to believe me.<br /><br />Anyways, you keep right on doubling down on this.

I question it not based on your talent, but on your temper. Well, that and your skills as a professional agitator. Generally not what one wants in a paid for standard bearer.<br /><br />I'll be more than happy to be proven wrong. Where D&D goes, good or bad, the hobby will follow.<br /><br />As for jealousy? Please. Ask me again in 2 years when I'm retired ;)<br /><br />Tenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.com
