...That's what being a DM, GM, referee, whatever you want to call it, the storyteller in an RPG is. You make a story that's engaging and fun for the people playing. If they don't like it, they either leave and you have to find new people, try to play their way and try to break your game and no one has fun, or you change it in a way that the players you have are having fun, but you're also having fun still. He essentially was telling a story in a way people liked, then dropped the campaign halfway through to start a new one that he liked, disregarding what anyone else would like; some people left, some people stayed, some new people came, repeat ad nauseum, to the point that there's barely anyone left, and NO ONE new coming in. If you grow to hate doing what you're doing when storytelling, but everyone else likes it, you shift it a little bit at a time in a direction you want, not end the journey to face Asmodeus in the Ninth Hell when the party just finishes the Fourth Hell.

He said "wholesome" four times in 112 seconds. I can hardly stand people that use the word "wholesome" unironically on occasion.

"its the bad parts of being a celebrity" Nigga. If Rob's a celebrity, then I'm at least a pseudo-celebrity. Hell I don't even know the extent of how much the modules I've put out over the past 10 years have been downloaded, but if 10-15k downloads in a year for one module around the year 7-8 mark is any indication, if I were to average 3-4 a year, and that would make me a pseudo-celebrity, it means he ain't a fuckin' celebrity.

What modules? I might actually have them

If it's 5e anyway

I've done 3.5, Pathfinder, a couple OSR games, and some 5e(though those are from the very early days; I slowed down a lot when I got back into WoW in 2016), but I purposely don't tell people what they are as myself, just whatever pseudonym I use where they're posted or distributed, because 1) any releases are completely sporadic, because I only try to write it up when I actually have an idea, I'm not a writer by nature, so I don't want people expecting a release schedule and 2) I'm essentially anti-Rob, where I'm COMPLETELY disconnected from whatever I produce, so I have pseudonyms for using them, and the only people that would be aware of it would be the people I actually run a game, turn it into a module, and then they find it later on.

I think the most I've done in a year was 5, in 2015, the least was 1, the first year in 2011, and there were only 3 between 2019 and 2020, because that's when I was really hard in the paint in mythic raiding.

If you paid for it, I definitely didn't write it. If it has maps in it, I definitely didn't write it.

I've been playing D&D for 18 years and I still can't actually draw up maps for shit, I can only explain dungeons and such through dialogue.

I also wrote one Chronicles of Darkness mod, but I couldn't really find any place to put it up or anywhere to send it to be distributed for download, so that's just on my old laptop's HDD.

Not many people seem to be interested in playing as humans in New World of Darkness, and less people seem to be interested in running pre-written modules in World of Darkness in general, so it's whatever.

I was just SUPER into creepypastas at the time, so it was basically a one-shot to establish a campaign setting where the Creepypasta Wiki was hosted on a server in a city above the God Machine, and they started to manifest in reality, and the players would be part of a team of legit paranormal investigators that have to deal with famous Creepypasta creatures/entities.

I only play as human

I forgot about this video

finished re-ordering the playlist

and this was the last one

The chat flow was completely normal, then I said this, and in almost 20 minutes, this is the only thing said in chat

Real-life experiences of people having bad experiences with unions, not because of "corporate anti-union propaganda," and unions on a SMALL scale, nonetheless

I fucking hate maris

I can't believe that in less than like a year and a half, using "it/its" for pronouns is "horribly transphobic because it's dehumanizing, a person is not an 'it', only alt-right 4chan trolls do that" to people using it unironically.

my favourite is the tranny who uses bun as a pronoun

yeah unions literally used to be run by mafias. it’s gotten a lot better and i think unions are very needed especially in low paying and or low skill jobs

because its so stupid

coming from someone in a union btw

Dude, I was reading that image, and at first I thought bun was just a nickname, then I realized it was being used as a pronoun unironically

As I said, not saying unions are bad, but the idea that someone being against unionization means they don't understand it, when people can have real experiences with unionization where it was detrimental to their career in more ways than one, is fucking dumb.

And this is in the 2000s and 2010s.

I feel ancient in relation to some of the people here, but I'm only like 10 years older than the youngest person I've heard state their age.

yeah it really does depend on the union. the teamsters are still pretty much a gang and forced to do whatever the union says

but at the same time that gives them so much power to get what they want

To quote Lord John Dalberg-Acton: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

the idea of "corruption" is just a misunderstanding

people and organizations will pursue whatever benefits their interests, that's how things will naturally work

on the large scale they will never try to benefit outside things like ideals or ethics unless the system provides adequate incentive to do so

individuals can act towards those things though, but individual people rarely have enough power to intentionally influence a setting

And when a collective of individuals have power?

the more humans there are involved in a decision, the less human the decision will be

EAT MY ASS SCIENCE!

getting a sub 0.001 return!

fuck yes!

From what I've heard, your american unions have sounded a bit sketchy, overseas though they've essentially been the solution to the problem of workers getting exploited back in the day

Like, in the 1800s, it was a serious societal issue, and dudes like marx came up with all these theoretical solutions which failed, essentially unions was what worked though

rob realises a childrens show does not follow real world logic
