It's totally a "remote communities" thing, likely by someone who has never been to the remote communities. You want to meet people where they are and work within the context they live in.

This is meeting people where you imagine them to be.

Sure, but if you install DR, then you have DR to do other things. Like chase that YouTuber dream, or field annoying calls from your great aunt who knows you can edit videos to digitize her parents super 8 family videos that are have rotten.

This way they can spend more time rearranging the store so nobody knows where anything is, in turn making us walk past a bunch of stuff we don't need in an effort to try and induce an impulse purchase!

Efficiency!

Hey, that's like every other work, and people still get paid for their shit output in other fields.

There's no reason for any of us to compete to survive. Especially when the metric that determines whether one succeeds in competing is just how much money some rich fuck makes off of your efforts.

carve out Wizards as a community

I don't know where the idea that WotC is worth saving keeps coming from. These are the MTG people. It's a shock that monsters, NPCs, items, and feats aren't purchased via booster pack.

D&D isn't a game, nor is it a community. It's just a brand. We can let it go.

He's in the opening bumper of every episode of seasons 3 and 4.

Never seen an explosion on the surface of a stellar remnant*? This year, you'll have your chance

Nothing pseudo about it. This is the natural progression of capitalism.

I'll be honest: I have very little patience for "you can homebrew this game that does't do what you want, so you should never play something else" folks; it is probably the thing I hate most about 5e stans. This is the equivalant of telling someone not to give up on a show they don't like because "you can always write fan fiction!"

Why should I recreate the game when I just spent $150 on it? Isn't that what I just paid for? For people who actually know game design to supply me with a game that meets my needs? Instead of someome who doesn't know game design and also paid for the experience?

There are so many games out there that could do what people want, but everyone's way too invested in WotC maintaining a monopoly on people's tables.

The point of 5e is to sell as many books as possible with nothing in them while convincing the customer that they're game designers.

It's really, really difficult to get small business owners to see how they personally benefit from social goods. They spend too much time grinding and struggling during the establishment phase. I think it's something of a traumatizing experience.

Like, trying to get those who primarily sell to working class folks to see how raising the minimum wage actually benefits them, because it means that all of their customers have more money to spend is nigh impossible. All they see is that they'll have to raise prices, and it makes them even more hostile toward their employees.

And the kicker is, they have no reason to trust in any of the social benefits, because we've lived in a society that bas spent the last 45 years dismantling them. And one of our two parties that actually makes government now explicitly runs on destroying social services of every kind.

There's no way it's not a pricing error. Likely supposed to be $80.

I wonder if they'll notice and cancel orders
