Web DM Podcast 199.5 Persuasion and the Future of the Hobby
🕑 Added 2021-07-02 16:45:08 +0000 UTCHello DMNs! You have boldly gone where no one has gone before - July 2021! Glad to be here with you at the cusp between present and future (even though when I'm writing this is, to you readers, the recent past...whoa) and that is what the main topic of this week's show is about!
We're doing a 199.5 because we wanted episode 200 to include Pruitt who is on the road right now and unable to be with us, but he will be back at it very soon and we're excited to make our unoffical/official 200th episode next week.
This week, Jim and Emma are talking about the future of D&D and the hobby in general as it relates to the culture of play and business practices insofar as our impression of both of those things stand, and we answer a patron question first from Gage Ardnt and also share some of our thoughts on the recent gross shenanigans from TSR.
We reference a blog post in the latter half of the show. Here it is: https://retiredadventurer.blogspot.com/2021/04/six-cultures-of-play.html
Time stamps for you:
1:39 - TSR summary and thoughts
9:24 - Kickstarter Status
14:21 - Gage Ardnt asks "How to deal with a character who has a super high Persuasion base skill?"
29:35 - The future of TTRPGs - where the industry is now, where it may go?
It's an interesting one with some spicy takes. Hopefully you enjoy it.
