Varg also set fire to a church like the raiders of Lindesfarne spent a decade inside the tough life of the Norwegian Prison system, one of the most brutal in the planet, which turned him into a hardened man, perhaps even as rugged as Ragnar Lothbrok himself. The man is a modern Viking, and Nazi or not I trust him to know Vikingness.

Patreon's CEO has responded

https://twitter.com/jackconte/status/1093223206805106688

Basically, I think Patreon will create new *optional* services for creators to generate more income. I'd love to see better merch fulfillment/POD integration. I'm sure there will be more services as well.

so Dan's assertion is valid, only that the geometric economies of scale are diminished by need for real life support

so the solution is a ton of new features, that a) don't actually use the economies of scale and b) very likely all need even more support

I remember really liking the opening fiction from the furies pitch, and also wondering to myself how the hell you get multiple of them in the same story.

So GW didn't send TTS a Cease & Desist but they're pulling their content preemptively? Wouldn't they be legally in the clear until that actually comes down, since if they actually ceased when GW told them to with a C&D, then GW can't sue?

I'm a bit confused why they've apparently taken the stance 'if we ask GW if it's OK to make our parody series, they might find out about us!' stance though. I'm pretty sure they already know about you, guys! You're some of the most prominent 40k fan content!

simply by going off his words: he seems to be extremely afraid that it won't be a simple C&D, he simply can't risk even the little chance of disaster

I'd argue from my own experience that the many buckets weren't for expansion but for retention. At least in my location D&D had massive competition in the fantasy sector, my group never would have dropped the thousands of dollars on a D&D product if Planescape and Birthright hadn't existed.

Based on his follow-up tweets in that thread, I wouldn't be hopeful. "Two equal columns of stats means you can pick one out of each and boom, you've got character creation" and "we have a secret reason for six stats ssshh no spoilers" is not something that stirs confidence.

Has anyone in RPGs ever thought of opposed rolls? DMs are open for feedback!

for the record: Das Schwarze Auge (Arkania or The Dark Eye) has had opposed rolls since the 90s, and my recollection from back then: combat drags out too long

Do we know if it's a "leak" in the way most people define it (i.e., someone receives product in advance that they're supposed to have but decides to leak details about it prior to the stated release date), or do they claim someone actually stole a box from somewhere in the supply chain and was showing it off online?

He claims he got a deal on older product and the distributor shipped him the new cards instead, and WotC treats him like he stole it. I assume there is a hard distributor date he broke that makes his story impossible for them.

I personally would not have made three videos about those cards, speculating on the price of already existing cards changing is pretty much the only sure way he could have made money and keep it.
