This week's episode of the Big Show is here!
RT to share! Listen and enjoy!
Our friend
@A_DungeonDelver
sits in w/ the gang to talk about the
#WotC
#AIArt
FAQ that made the internet shout at clouds! Plus, a trip to Reddit & cosmic horror in the news!
Let's put this on the record, again:
If in your mind you see an orc (any demi human) and associate it with a real world human being or culture, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
It's not the game, its creator, and/or players that need help.
Fin.
SHARE AND RT THIS, AND PULL YOUR PLEDGES.
No joke, across three households, we cancelled three pledges to
@PBS
today.
No amount of decent children's programming can make this kind of revisionist history and political pandering acceptable.

#PBSCriticalFailure
The sparkletrolls scoffed at us when we pointed out that Wizards was rolling the snowball down the mountain of destruction.
There will be nothing left unless the unwashed masses vote w their wallet & protect things that they love.
#WotC
is actively trying to kill
#MtG
&
#DnD
.
#WotC
has turned
#DnD
into a sad parody of itself.
They continue to write garbage, not to better the game, but to score high fives from the SparkleTrolls that don't buy their books.
Do your part. Show a SparkleTroll the exit. Make them uncomfortable and never want to return.
Oh fuck off, BBC.
#DnD
is, was, and always shall be the haven for misanthropes, outcasts, geeks, nerds, and general weirdos.
It's when the normies came in that the problems began.
No, 2/3 of the players are actively making a choice to reject the normalization of repugnant behavior designed to destroy cultural mores.
#BaldersGate3
#BearSex
was no accident, or joke. It was a calculated political insert, but the silent majority didn't buy it.
Nothing like the destruction of lore and introduction of a character that would never have succeeded in that setting.
The destruction of the hobby and politicization from within is astounding.
Stand your ground.
Vote with your wallet.

...and MEN has been "temporarily suspended" after a customer reported the title "as potentially containing offensive content"
@DriveThruRPG
. And we know what happens when products are temporarily suspended, don't we? It took them a day, for fuck's sake!
One of the worst things birthed from 3e was the perceived "need" for encounter balance.
Now you have SparkleTrolls running around, thinking they are invincible superheroes.
Make. Them. Cry.
Cynthia Williams of
#WotC
has resigned.
More as deets come out, but this is a fart in the wind. The entire culture and cast of characters needs to change for any meaningful improvement to take place.
Yes. Please begin to eat your own!
May we suggest using the garbage phrase "problematic story arcs" for your next hit piece.
#CriticalRole
kicked open the door to the destruction of our hobby.
Pick 'em apart, glittery ones!
Yep, one at a time the sparkletroll tourists are marching back to Wizards.
Wizards does have one thing right. For this crew that doesn't really play the game, it IS a lifestyle brand.
Without their Führer, they are lost souls soldiering through a 4-hour shift at Target.
Our heart skipped a beat when we saw "Bob Barker" trending, especially knowing today is his 99th!
He's alive and well -- and the ONLY host of TPIR. Suck it, Drew.
They won't stop. Ever.
#DnD
is dead.
#WotC
is determined to politically appease the demi-humans that DON'T buy their products as opposed to recapturing the audience that could bring them back from the ledge.
#NotOneMoreGP
#DCC
is done.
Remember, when dealing with the
#woke
mob and
#sparkletrolls
, Reese knows best: "It Doesn’t Feel Pity, Or Remorse, Or Fear, And It Absolutely Will Not Stop, Ever, Until You Are Dead!"
If ever there was a product that was so woke, so compromised, and so filled with hatred for the people that are buying it, it's Zweihander.
If you hear of any of your friends even thinking about backing this, smack some sense into them.
We read Tolkien, Howard, and Gygax.
Theythem are reading golden books and pretending they are Mrs. Frisby.
Our hobbies are not the same.
#GatekeepingIsGood
It seems that Wil Wheaton is still insufferable and doesn't get humor, especially good, satisfying humor.
Imagine if you unironically were this disconnected with reality and normal human responses.
This morning at the FLGS, as we were setting up for our Saturday game...
When the DM pulled out the AD&D DMG, some 🤡 from the pokémon cards spotted it and shouted "There's a table full of racists!"
He was removed from the shop and told he's not welcome back.
Small victories.
Okay, so this week, the glittery ones got back on their knees for WotC, Gygax was labeled "progressive," books are bougie, and Wookiepedia leaned hard into left rhetoric.
Someone help us clear our heads, tell us something good this Sunday morning!
Look at that, not even a week after the sparklelords at WotC turned their backs on the hobby, the pop gaming media comes crawling to the
#OSR
on their knees...
Let's be welcoming, but cautious.
@GatekeepingIsGood
"Your party approaches the entrance of the dungeon. Timmy the tiefling wonder bard on wheels sighs as the rest of the group abandons him and descends the elaboratly carved stairs..."
Us:
#GatekeepingIsGood
. You can often tell who to vet looking at as little as one post.
SparkleTrolls:
"HoW dArE yOu ImPLy tHaT yOu CaN tELL wHo ShOuLd bE GatEKept fRoM JusT OnE PosT!!!!!"
The post:
This is not an actual play, it's actual hobby poison. "OMG! My tiefling is gonna be late for class! Lulz!"
🙄🙄🙄🙄
Purge the hobby.
#GatekeepingIsGood
Aside: overreacting like this 👇👇👇 should be reserved for pr0n. At least that mouth is pretty...
Not at our table. We're playing a game, and we're not allowing you to impose your mental defects on our fun time.
If you want to talk about your daddy issues, we're going to invoice you.
#GatekeepingIsGood
Woke gone wild week continues!
So it looks like
@hauntedtable
is now refunding pledges of customers that are not politically aligned with them.
This is the inverse version of refusing to bake the gay wedding cake, which we're willing to bet they found abhorrent.
Looks like the machine is ramping up to defend the wokewizards revision of the OGL which appears, at least to us, to make changes that will discourage content creation....
Screw the pop gaming media.
The boys talk about it this week on the 'cast. Give it a listen!
We wish we could say that we felt empathy for this dungeon master, but we don't.
Grow a spine. Say no.
Of course, the easy solution now is just to have the demon slaughter every character while they rest.
"Why is it such a big deal to you guys?"
It's not.
We care far less about
#black
#Aragorn
than we do about
#WotC
sending
#Pinkertons
to some poor dude's house over
#MtG
cards.
Terrible is terrible, but there are still degrees of terrible.
Sometimes, even we can't tell if someone is sparkletrolling or if it's parody.
Regardless, it's pretentious to put a string of letters after your name, especially on Twitter, especially especially when it's only a 4-yr degree.
(Upon investigation, it's clearly a sparkletroll.)
Just remember,
#BaldursGate3
is an endorsement of everything modern
#WotC
wants.
You can't have a selective memory. If you support one head of the hydra, you validate the whole creature.
If you didn't see this coming, you're part of the problem.
#WotC
continues to go unchecked and be an unhealthy segment for Hasbro.... Why? RD's "conspiracy theories" from the show keep coming true...
