The play-by-play's unnecessary for me because I watched this all go down in real time
Paldeahaveadime
This was a hit. Plain and simple.

Some random reddit forum transcripts a podcast interview with Earnie Gygax Jr.

The usual faceless goons then set in on the man and TSR and demand they apologize for crimes imagined and inferred.
Paldeahaveadime
I say inferred because some of them have quite literally set up a dead man's quote as a totem to rile up the crowd into a mob movement—standard Cancel Culture tactic
Paldeahaveadime
TSR's PR account refuses to apologize for any of these demands
Paldeahaveadime
Last night, the Gen Con PR account bent the knee for them, barring Gygax and the revived TSR from participation
Paldeahaveadime
Which...the fucking audacity
Paldeahaveadime
But neither here nor there. Whatever, that's their choice
Paldeahaveadime
I'm gonna actually not rave about how low-iq, impulsive, emotionally unbalanced the faceless mob is. Honestly, what's done is done.
Paldeahaveadime
Instead, Imma actually look more into this revived TSR and see if there's tools to create some new game scenarios.
Paldeahaveadime
Cause...fuck it, why always blow up? Let Gen Con & Top Secret etc have their social justice moment.

I need my roleplay hobby back and honestly TSR popped up on my radar earlier in the week before this explosion anyway. Sounds fun.
