I joined Twitter hoping to find a lot of talk about GMing, because I don't have many contemporaries to find inspiration/steal from lel. I was hoping to find techniques, advice, musings, after action reports, maybe even some funny stories. Instead I find political bickering and critical role fanart.

What about Critical Role? What are your thoughts on that? Everyone's like "Oh, Matt Mercer, what an amazing DM." No he's not. No he's not. They're putting on a show. He's got hyper compliant "players", a preset even list, a production team and he's a professional voice actor. Call Matt Mercer a good DM when he put's on a show with a bunch of random players who haven't agreed to follow his story exactly as written. Then you can call him a DM. Right now he's just a writer/actor.

Alex Desilets I mean with all due respect the « putting on a show » argument kinda goes out the window when you factor in that they were playing for months before the show even started

The biggest example of how 5e players want to be TOLD how to play the game in an official capacity is the massive boom in official adventure modules. I see them come up in twitter every day, and there seems to be a massive market for them. I never even specifically bought a single module in my life (other than those that came with setting material and things like that) yet these people can't get enough of hard-freaking-bound volumes of "OFFICIAL" adventures. These people WANT to be told how to play by an authoritative source, right down to what their campaign should "officially" be about. On a side note, I think this is also an example of an issue I've notice in culture post 9/11, where we have an entire generation of people used to giving up their liberty for the illusion of "safety", and I think that this is a manifestation of it. This generation has been primed to always seek out authority figures to officially tell them what they're allowed to do.

Can you blame them? Noobs are orphaned. They want to find out about D&D, but a corporation just wants to sell them the books and then glitzy splatbooks and adventure supplements. Each snowflake wants to be their own unique race, unlike having dozens more in the same village? Okay, says WotC, we can do that for you. When I started out in gaming, only had a Player's Handbook, got Star Frontiers RPG for US$10, it had a section on Designing an Adventure, and Running an Adventure, right there from the start, potentially giving the players no reason to buy a supplement ever again. They had more free time, NO garbage internet pursuits (your channel excepted!), they could fill tons of binders with stuff!

That guy seems like he has serious problems. Normally I'd feel bad for someone like that but, even with just FW, he's done so much damage, he really has it all coming. It wouldn't be hard to do a webcrawler and tally up his word count in tweets and compare it to how many pages that would've made an RPG product. Every time he tweets, he digs himself deeper in real time. He certainly did no favors for anyone doing a KS after him. I still remember being somewhat anxious about my first KS funding. (Which was Reaper and turned out alright.)

@@czos9239 The best part about Sarka is that he's written for recent releases, the new L5R and Star Trek games. There has been one that he wrote under a pseudonym, but I can't remember which. With Kickstarter, it seems you're best bet is a company that is well established like Reaper. I back the last Bones KS and they did a good job, even though it was a little late. Pinnacle has done well with the new edition of Savage Worlds. Hopefully I get my physical copy soon.

If you, like me, liked the idea of "Far West", but got tired of waiting a decade (so amazed it has been that long!), check out "Jadepunk" by Reroll Productions. Ryan Danks is a great guy and their version of steampunk wuxia is really cool and fun! It has a number of add-ons and all of it has, and I can't stress this enough, actually been released.

I'm not sure that Tarot should be used with D&D, I know it's a pretty perfected deck of cards, but with the current climate lacking alignments (mostly) & pretty low level hell play & all the warlock stuff, putting real magic into the game seems a recipe for teenage disaster.
