@rivetgeek Imagine believing it was Critical Role that made D&D surge and not various sociological factors around a rise in third spaces, money managed hobbies, and the end of the Satanic Panic

@rivetgeek People start making great games and people clearly supporting them by crowdfunding millions of dolars, as well as gigantic communities coming from free and CC games and the average D&D player reaction is: TTRPG community is dead now.

God, I had no idea who this guy was before this essay but I hate him now.

@rivetgeek my first response was "who?" then I googled and looked at the essay.

He equates the whole of TTRPGs to D&D, which while the lions share of the market isn't the whole market.

eh -- yeah I agree with your take

@s5photog @rivetgeek being charitable, he seems to think D&D and Critical Role are the Brand and RPGs die if people don't support the brand. Hence the thing about Coleville not making D&D content.

It's bunk but it's a common capitalist theory
