What had he done for me lately? Neither of these blokes matters a bit to me.

Modern rpgs just suck imo. Nothing looks interesting compared to what they were making 20-30 years ago. D&D going bankrupt doesn't change that.

Now I know you're just a trolling asshole.

Yes but being licensed out OR if Hasbro goes under during the recession and D&D is sold to someone else, it changes quite a bit.

I'm completely burnt out on medieval fantasy and have been for decades. It doesn't matter who owns D&D, I don't like the genre.

Unfortunately, every other genre sucks ass.

Believe what you like. My life will change not at all because of it.

Esper says he will still play and support 5e --he just ins't going to shill for WOTC

his channel was supported by WOTC, at least to some degree, for a long time

rumor on the street is that WOTC has told the top 5e content YT guys that they won't be getting sponsorships, advertising support, bot views, fake subs, etc. going forward, and rebellion is brewing

in other words, struggling Hasbro is cutting off the gravy train

or at least that is the rumor

AJ Pickett and Esper the Bard have each posted many videos on YT for years and years, exposing 5E players to the greater depths of lore found in 2E and 3E / 3.5E.  Tremendously more lore depth, than what WOTC has released for 5E.  A good lifeline to decades of lore, now seemingly abandoned by WOTC.

They have a place in the community.

Esper seems fine. I dropped AJ years ago when he went off on a couple live streams about how Americans should not be allowed to have guns.

Dude, there's a gorillion RPGs out there. Take the time to investigate what's happening with the small press, the indie guys and the free games and you will find something you like. But if not one game excites you, the problem is you.

The problem is him.

My thoughts exactly.

The problem is that they don't make the kinds of games I like anymore. It's all dumb zoomer shit now. My tastes go for stuff made in the 80s thru 2000s. Star*Drive, Dark•Matter, Conspiracy X, WitchCraft, All Flesh Must Eaten, etc. They just don't make games like they used to.

Seriously, have you actually tried searching in genres outside of your vaunted medieval fantasy? They all suck compared to where they were 20-30 years ago. It's all creepypasta gig economy bullshit that is completely conceptually divorced from what came before. No shit it's gonna suck. These dumb zoomers don't study the classics and just ape the dumb corporate slop currently available.

All the cool and interesting non-fantasy games that I'd like to play were canceled 20-30 years ago.

But go ahead and blame me for not being a dumb mindless consumer who eats whatever slop is currently being sold. That's totally helpful.

It's about as helpful as continuing to rant against the present as you suck down your memberberries.

Not really.  I'm also not phased by Gygax JR dying.  He wasn't a big deal.

I'm more interested by what this YouTuber has to say than Gygax Jr does.
