Replying to cj_the_magic_утка #cj_the_magic_goose Something I'm realizing to this day of my writing is how much URealms class design has rubbed off on me
As someone who just started making his own TTRPG modeled off of Season 2 of URealms, I getcha

Protip: Don't. 👌
YOU ARE AN OLD GOD
BORN BEFORE THIS REALM WAS EVEN CREATED
YOU WILL CONTROL THE FABRIC OF THIS REALM FOR BUT A BRIEF MOMENT
CHOOSE CAREFULLY:
Do I pay Justin the same as the rest of the cast?- 3
Even after I knew Rob hated me I still entered all the DD events in the odd chance I won and he'd see my name pop up
didn't even watch the campaigns
anyways what really murdered URealms was it's scope creep and the real honest belief he had that it would be easier to get people to watch 10 minute fully animated campaign summaries rather then tell people they can read a wiki
Also Rob getting intro drugs
A wiki that was eons behind the actual show

Empo, I remember seeing this on Twitter, way before you joined
I genuinely believe Nader's would have completely crashed and burned if it actually got made
And I still fuck the name up for your thing constantly
And call it novarealms
I originally ran a living world for a while, wanted to make my own system with that too, just recently left that server a couple of days ago

If you look at the trajectory of the Escapist Unforgotten Realms(even before they stopped paying him), the trajectory of Unforgotten Quest(just because his wife left him didn't mean he had to scrap the proejct to rebuild it in a different engine twice), etc., this happened with ALL his projects over a period of 15 years.
100%, he could have gotten something out for UQuest, even if he scaled the scope back
and while people would have been disapointed, it would have been better than not saying anything for many years, then offering to pay people back after enough time had passed that most people would have forgotten
(then never finishing to do that)
That was a scummy move,
yeah
Like
He could have just had a failed Kickstarter
Plenty of people have recovered from that without murdering their psyche by needing to lay it back
The oldest "someone in PHIJKCHU was mad at Rob" thing I remember, was talking to Phijkchu_Latios on steam about how he hated Rob because of UQuest and could not support him
Did he get into any legal drama with that?
he had no obligation to make the game
He genuinely tried with UQuest
And I don't hold that against him... Imo it feels silly to
I hold the way he acted after it failed against him
it failing, no, thats fine, shit happens
Idk what he was supposed to do, after the 4th attempt to reboot it with a different team
His final UQuest vid was fine
It looked like he was doubling his efforts in trying to pay people back, but I guess as the URealms money well dried up he didn't have the funds to continue

I kinda got knots in my stomach when I looked back at the Kickstarter and saw just how fucking cucked the fanbase was, with SO MANY people saying they didn't care about refunds or that they didn't want him to try to continue the game or that they didn't want him to finish Unforgotten Realms when he put that as an option, that they supported him as a person and they were just like TAKE MY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR NOTHING, and these comments all being years before his "people > content" arc
the kickstarter was never really for the game
it was for Rob
most people donating donated because it was Rob
The Kickstarter was to fund 2 years of Rob+Krysta working on the game
Krysta was his wife I'm assuming? What was her role going to be in the game design
She was the previous Megan
live in artist
Ah so it's a cycle of dating artists
I put in more money than I think anyone else here, and genuinely don't feel "owed" anything from that Kickstarter
It failed, shit happens
Spooky literally bought the highest tier package and flew out to meet Rob.
He is also Jamie Lee Curtisis son

No. In 2021 he spent over $1k on royalty free music from one person alone. He says he has absolutely no money, but he has the money to drop over $1k in, what was it, 7 or 8 months on royalty free music for stuff he'll never actually make from just ONE PERSON. Imagine how many people he's dropping the same amount of money on.
Kappaa
Rob made money, yes
The good years of PMC and Urelans Live were BIG

I didn't feel owed anything until I saw him dropping $1200 or $1400 in 7 or 8 months on royalty free chiptunes from one dude.
Urealms live made good money too considering he basically payed nothing to justin
Dunceparse, if he did not owe saving his cat because he spent the money on egirl donations
what chance do you have
lol
lol
I never understood the whole "not paying Justin" thing, was there any reason why? He was one of the funniest of the cast members later on during the show
Apparently he gave them all a flat rate at the start of the show
Replying to Deleted User #Deleted User I never understood the whole "not paying Justin" thing, was there any reason why? He was one of the funniest of the cast members later on during the show
Because Justin was a woman.
He must have thought he could just walk over him
and never changed it when it became larger
Yeah what fire said. Rob has a history of pushing anyone he thinks he can get away with pushing
But when its someone he thinks has more standing than him, he is a suckup to get what he wants

I dunno if it's pinned, but Rob really shat down Justin's throat for years. If it's not pinned, someone can probably find the screenshots of how Rob was sabotaging Justin from doing his own stream properly to grow his channel and make money himself.
it is pinned
Again, we should probably have a better archive than discord pins as a "Read this to get up to speed" thing
but that is a lot of work
Everything important is archived here and there beyond this discord (since we are not retarded) and can and would be reposted instantly should the discord go down a second time, but it is inconvinient for people to read everything
And I don't know if I've mentioned this, because I haven't thought about it in ages, but I just remembered that either during season 1 or early in season 2 I started checking out Justin & Coe outside of URealms and I saw Justin talking about having really bad depression and couldn't even hold a job delivering pizzas, and URealms and his stream was basically his entire income
