“Dungeons & Dragons DRAMA! The newly “reformed” TSR Games has also been banned from Origins Game Fair, just a day after Gen Con banned TSR because of Twitter drama over something Gary Gygax’s son Ernie said on a podcast. It’s clear that the TTRPG “community” is shutting TSR 2.0 down hard. But did Ernie Gygax REALLY say what Twitter claimed he said, or was this just an EXCUSE to take TSR out of the game before they even begin…?”

These have all been a good summary of the noxious, manipulative and all around shitty and fucked up atmosphere on Twitter…which is one of the primary reasons I’ve been sharing them.

It’s also nice to see that D&D is still around and active.

People put entirely too much faith and relevance into therapy.

Much of what is provided and getting paid for, in reality, exists in any healthy relationship and social support structure.

My thought, is that so many people are flocking to therapy and raving about it these days, because nearly all of us have been pushed into social isolation, and conditioned to think that paying a professional for an ear, for opinions and advice “is normal”.

…There is nothing about that which is normal.

It’s the byproduct of a failed society.

I’m not suggesting nobody benefits from it…If you are starving for that type of guidance, getting it nowhere else…you likely will benefit in some ways…

…I’m suggesting that “therapy” is naturally free and available, when we are allowed to grow up and live intertwined with a wide enough range of people and experiences.

If you are not kept isolated…you find natural “therapists” among your family and community.

“TSR Games, the original creators of Dungeons & Dragons, have announced their return to tabletop RPGs. And almost immediately, Twitter pounces. Are we surprised? Apparently TTRPG Twitter is offended that Gary Gygax’s son made a comment in an interview about how tabletop is losing the plot with disenfranchised gamers. His words were twisted, of course, and now TSR Games’ official Twitter is being bombarded with insults and low-key threats from people within the RPG “community.” When will companies STOP listening to Twitter outrage mobs?

Meanwhile, Wizards of the Coast has been ramping up its PR efforts lately. Connected? Hmmm…”
