This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The "six figure salary professional RPG (videogame) designer" guy?

Sometime in the past couple months there was some guy thwacking around his supposed "credentials" claiming he was paid a six figure salary as an RPG designer (it seemed to be for video games) and we should all listen to him because he knows all and we're all idiots.

Anyone remember that? Have a link to the thread he did it in?

Sounds to me like that Fez guy in middle of his meltdown over some guy being mean to him on Twitter (which was also one of the funniest things I've ever read).

Wasn't that Arduin/Rooster, who also claimed to have a Miss America work at his booth (and a bunch of other claims that were also obviously false)?
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Why would you want a link for that?  He was obviously lying to troll the site.

He's doing it two other places now, and I wanted to connect the dots.

Didn't you invite him to come to this site in the first place?

I don't think so.  I think you're thinking of Kzach, and it's not him I'm referring to.

I thought it was Rooster.

But honestly, if someone is making six figures as a video game designer he/she is probably making that money by working insane hours.  Like 80 hours a week.

You're thinking of a coder, designers don't do that, they do the art.
