Midden nards guy requested purple to do a new f&f of his book and coincidentally bought an ad during that time frame.

Of course purple's review was just as negative, if not more so, than the first time because he edited out most of the unintentionally hilarious stuff without fixing the problems.

This is the first time I've ever been nominated for an ENnie (two nominations for Best argument and person of the year w/#elfgamerpg). However, it has begun to raise my sales profile. Sales on DriveThruRPG have been sorta nuts since the announcement.

James Raggi and others have said nominations and awards promote an uptick to sales.

The rounds on Twitter did lead me to a shocking discovery about him - I thought he was much younger than he was. He's older than I am (which obviously means we need to start preparing the mummification rites).

Guaranteed it's a naked attempt to drum up support for his book that just got nominated.

Controversy is what Bad Haircut Man does to hock his wares. Every time. It's a common tactic and it's usually best to just ignore whatever poo poo he's trying to stir up.

No, no, no, we are civilized savages and therefore it behooves us to make the offer.

So okay, rando, tell us why Hashtag Zweihander Are Pee Gee is good and worthwhile and unique, and why it being in the running for an Ennie isn't a badge of horrible shame, using specific references to setting and mechanics.

Or is it just a clone of a game I already own?

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying 2nd is a great game. Not sure who wants a knock off with way lower production values, but at least a 4th edition is soon of the real one.

If I remember correctly, Zweihander is a clone of WarhamsRPG 1e, not 2e.

I forget how good the coverage was for WFRP when Zweihander was kickstarted but Cubicle7 released everything WFRP 1E/2E right after Zweihander was released, giving you no reason to really use it. It was really just an excuse to reprint 1E with the serial numbers filed off and Lizardmen for the first time. It's honestly pretty shameless in terms of how much original content is in it.

Yup, Patreon is a more reliable revenue stream than advertisements and also exists as a means of interaction that has largely replaced Forums. Which is why the whole thing with the banks cutting down on "Smut" has hurt several of these creators tangentially because occasionally they post cheesecake or what have you.

That bit irritates me. If people wanna draw smut, and it's not something patently obscene like kids or whatnot, more power to them. The whole 'no paypal for sex' thing is supposed to be about preventing trafficking, and drawn art has nothing to do with that.

Patreon seems to be totally fine with smut, provided only your patrons get to see it and there's little or no mention of it on your public section. And not in a "we'll look the other way as long as you're not reported" kind of way either.

My understanding is that it was smut of adult versions of characters who are children at the current point in the comic's timeline? I've only heard about it secondhand from other folks, though.

It's the exact same characters with the exact same very young childlike bodies but with "they're 18 in this one, we promise wink" tacked on.

Then the creator offered a bounty to doxx some people and I stopped reading the comic in disgust.

Yeah, the way I've seen one creator get around it now is "Anything patreon objects to I am required to make patrons only. Feel free to repost/tweet/whatever you want. I'm also posting it on my DA account."

I don't really understand what the streamer did wrong that she decided to publicly drag him on Twitter, though? Like, as far as I can tell, she's mad that he replied to a Tweet she made on what she refers to as her "private" Twitter account (which is actually completely public). I can't find where he actually said anything even remotely offensive or impolite, but I may just suck at Twitter (I definitely suck at Twitter) and I may be missing something.

What am I missing?
