It's just that, like anyone else interested in D&D, I want to READ about it, and watch videos, and immerse myself in my passion, sometimes all day.<br /><br />But what I get is this ... dreck. This awful, myopic, pandering, simpering, unimaginative pissing dreck, junked out by users who are the type to use a cellphone to pound nails. Here we go and make this utterly amazing game, this wonderous vehicle that enables travel through space and time, that allows us to walk with the gods or examine the minutest of elements of the cosmos ... and these dumbfucks are jizzing all over themselves that swords cut meat.<br /><br />It's gawddamned hard to lay off it, you know? Like an itch, or the DTs. I cannot be ~ cannot ~ be the only one out here on the frontier.<br /><br />Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-19609258674927054702018-08-06T12:10:31.363-06:002018-08-06T12:10:31.363-06:00I hear you, man.

And I am 100% in the same thought pool as you about the media puff pieces on the internet (I find myself somewhat disturbed by the sheer amount I've come across). I can relate to how this stuff saps your energy/interest for blogging...it certainly does for me.<br /><br />Ah, well. You know...keep on keeping on. We'll be around.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-89429825097788985202018-08-06T11:35:49.248-06:002018-08-06T11:35:49.248-06:00Saw the Puffin video just this morning.

Thought there might be something interesting to it, something about overpowered magic users laying low a modern city.<br /><br />Nope.<br /><br />I have noticed a shift in the party line but it's relatively minor, only found through a few Twitter and Reddit posts. Still, if it's a sign of new trends, I think the online community just might be moving in a better direction.Ozymandiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01065642299277380465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-62114376405488710052018-08-06T08:25:58.479-06:002018-08-06T08:25:58.479-06:00I try not to pay too much attention to the junk sp...I try not to pay too much attention to the junk spilling out of the big names. It just makes me upset. For me, it's best to ignore their lazy, sloppy work, and focus on creating something real and useful. Not so that I can change the culture, but because *I* want to create it. It's irrelevant if a quarter million sheep follow along; I do it for me.Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01934167527605261647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-46984371799504376992018-08-06T00:13:49.115-06:002018-08-06T00:13:49.115-06:00I noticed the dropoff in game content with some di...I noticed the dropoff in game content with some dismay, but I know you'll perservere. Everyone has rough patches, and I'll still be reading while you get through yours.<br /><br />Looking forward to everything you've got coming down the pipe, no matter how long it takes to arrive.Pandredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03917809464727878157noreply@blogger.com
