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.

Why is it that the current version of D&D seems to be a poison pill for these fuckers to initiate their career self-destruct? Is it the toxic social environment that surrounds D&D "celebrity"?

  I think anyone that tries so hard to be "important" or a "celebrity" tends to have flaws along with that drive that trend towards extreme self centered behavior.  IF they were boxers it might not matter as much, but since they are decent looking fit people hanging around nerds I think they run into WAY too many people they can bully and manipulate and get away with it.  All chickens eventually come home to roost, and I think people who are a little too sociopathic sooner or later run out of runway for their take off.  I am not as certain it is D&D as it is the ease of which a person can work towards "celebrity" thanks to the internet.  No internet video and such, no one ever knows who these two are.  I think the current version of D&D just happens to be the one with easy internet celebrity hood attached.

It has nothing to do with the current version of D&D other than it being the version out right now. If WotC put out a new version tomorrow, the shit wouldn't stick to 5e but would instead drip onto whatever the new hotness they are pushing.

Found this link on Tenkar's vid it's a list of alleged horror stories from the 'celebrity' couple.

  I think all these people with their horror stories should go work for a few weeks on a construction site.  I think that might help them with perspective.

Well, that's the thing... If you work in the 'real world' and you get screwed over you learn and just deal with it. The people I've real sympathy for here are the freelancers who did the work and never got a penny (allegedly).

  Getting robbed is one thing, but the majority of complaints I see are they dealt with shitty people/the job sucked.  I think a few weeks of being a laborer on a brick laying crew would do a shitload for those people's perspective.

Yeah, but it's 2022 man we've got to all 'do better'.

The funny thing is if you're being treated badly by someone just leave. Or get another job. A lot of these stories are, 'they were mean to me, but I didn't want to say anything because other people from the community might not like me anymore'. And coming out years after the fact.

Thats one of the sketchy parts of this whole drama saga: when do people get paid

Now i read on one of the discord screenshots that folks were asking to be paid BEFORE their edits and changes were approved.  Just by turning in your draft doesnt mean you get paid then and there.   Contracts and terms do exist for a reason and you dont get paid for garbage, unusable ,gibberish text. Not paying people post edit and after requesting an invoice? Scummy

That part these folk have to understand you are writing RPG material not to get rich but because you enjoy doing the work and seeing the result.

The internet is making this molehill into a mountain.  At least bring us more popcorn.

That's definitely my main issue... I can't speak from a writer's perspective. But in terms of art, I won't scratch my ball sack without getting at least 50% upfront. Because if you get shafted then at least you've got something for it.

Of course, if anything goes wrong and the client doesn't pay in full (for whatever reason), you tell all your mates and the word gets around. I'd never go on Twatter and cry like a thirteen-year-old, but that's just me.

But please keep up the pop corn.  ;D

  Dead on.  I just do not get the internet complaints.  When I first heard about this, I thought I would be reading a story where they drugged and raped people in a torture dungeon.  It seems they were just assholes.  Do kids today never encounter an asshole growing up?

No they don't as that entire generation is raised on participation trophies, social media, and "EVERYONE IS A WINNER!" mentality.  Good times create weak people.

0 as Stone will be banned from the Gencon property due to "Threats of Violence" or "Security for Guests" same excuse they banned The Quartering and other for: Wrong Think.

I'll put money they won't get divorced, the redemption arc is too profitable to pass up and they can sell their "Recovery" to others.  Divorce lets the vipers feast further, there's money to made in Hearts and Tears.

Sure they encounter them. And from what I've heard, they eat them these days.
