Congrats, on your success. Godspeed sir.

Have never cared what they try to do to D&D. My table of Gen X grognards, all retired fighters, ex soldiers, bouncers, and an EMT, prefer a much grittier game that allows for progression, and death. When everyone rolls up a superhero at level 1 there is little challenge, and no change

I'm essentially doing the same, however I am admittedly less creative. So I've been essentially modding the entire 5e handbook, rewriting rules, changing lethality, adding and removing content, and writing everything up. I plan on releasing what I've got when I'm done, with the appropriate citations for inspiration (cuz some things really do deserve the eyes, even if its broken as shit, the idea was admirable) and removal of copywrit content (cuz fuck catching a case I can't afford) then either pay-walling the setting, npcs, & original content or releasing it under a "donate if you can" model... cuz frankly I understand what it is to be on the high seas with sand in your boots, only enough grog in your barrels to make it to port, and a hard hankering for entertainment.

Amen brother. We are retaking that childlike wonderment that came from picking up a stick in the school yard and making an adventure. For goodness sake where did the fun go with modern tabletop?

@@thebajanbots7131 Really, I would submit that the fun went away when it became commercialized - and therefore had to become a uniform, standardized product that would be playable the same way everywhere, not made-up-in-garage-and-basement stuff. The fun began to fade when it stopped being a game for _makers_ and started being a game for _players._ Video games went through that phase; then technology developed to the point that ppl started modding. Then after modders (whether cheat hackers or creatives trying to make the game more fun) could not be kept out of Starcraft and Half-Life, developers started allowing them access to some of the same tools they used to create game content and adjust rules, graphics, etc. Starcraft II shipped with the full set of developer tools used on top of the game engine. "Modders gonna mod." And 'makers gonna make.' Personally I miss the BESM system. I think it had potential.

It was only a matter of time and now you're seeing their hypocrisy with the vicious backlash trying to shut it all down.

They legitimately thought no-one would ever bother to "go make their own X." They thought it was a slam-dunk comeback, that it was impossible; a _vae victis_ to their defeated foes... They thought this because _they_ would never go and build something of their own. They totally expected their opponents to be as lazy, meek and un-entrepreneurial as they are. Now people have actually done so, oh how they screech!

@@RoganGunn It's not so much that they thought no one would bother, it's that they thought they were so big and in control, they could drown out any attempts before it got off the ground. You can see their arrogance when they release characters like snowflake and safespace and think that even that can't be competed with, regardless of its failure. They thought that as long as they stamp MARVEL, DISNEY, DC, HOLLYWOOD etc on it, it would have more legitimacy than much better written stories and much better art all round and that the drones would continue to write off smaller creatives.

Now the centrist wants to save the titanic by scooping water out with a hat, never going to happen. We cannot save our nation, only learn harsh lessons going forward to the birth of the new one.

There is no individual without a collective to birth him. There is no collective without individuals to make it up. This, the collective versus individual, is a false dichotomy.

I liken black pills to any recreational drug with severe health risks attached: You're perfectly fine to take them, but they're doing you nothing but harm and keep them the fuck away from us. We don't need second hand exposure to that shit. If only blackpills had a proper rehab method...

Why not, they're utterly ruining all our Superhero's and laughing at us while they hemorrhage money - as our Superheroes are now, they're nothing I respect or care about. If they started brand new characters like them today, I'd have zero interest to know anything about them so ya, might as well create new ones

black pill goes so much deeper than that creating content like rippa did sure is nice but how does that change the fact that we re in a 1984 distopia and that the government is working for the deep state which want us all dead? unless you re willing to get everyone together and do something about it stop speaking as if you know what you re talking about.

as much as people make fun of it for taking eons to develop, this is why I'm happy to give money to the company making Star Citizen. They don't hate me, and the people working on the game are actually passionate about it. I'm fairly certain zero developers at Blizzard / EA / Activision have actually played a video game besides what's on their phone. Who'd have thought AAA game devs actually playing games would become such a rare thing?

@@potheadraccoon8536 How about you shut up for once and touch some grass, hmm? Why don't you get off your computer and get a real life instead of being an armchair activist trying to make people demoralized with your stupidity?

When you read comments such as, "I don't read comics but I support this book" you know the activist are there. How are they supporting the book? Oh right by word of mouth, of course they start the sentence with "I don't read comics but".

I'm learning coding as a hobbie but for the intention of indie games. I got a lot of ideas and if any of them take off hopefully make some cash while I'm at it.

Daily Wire is already on the warpath with Hollywood and Disney. More companies will make it out of the woodwork given enough time.

"We need to carry this momentum into indie games and movies as well" - don't forget music. One of the oldest, if not THE oldest movement, when it comes to making stuff independent of others. Without the independent music scene there wouldn't be most of Metal, Punk/Postpunk, Rap and the various electronic genres. Trends and creative visions start in the underground and always will (and it should shield itself against corporatization).

I'm a programmer that has worked in the game industry and simulation. Working on an indie game in my spare time; I've had ideas for games I've wanted to get out for years now, just takes some time as a solo dev. :)

@@parsleyisthicc shhh don't mess with the narrative, he's here to rant about "the left" no matter what lol

I know who Woodrow Wilson is, but could you please explain what he did? I'm not from the US btw.

@@leonelimalevu2199 sure, no problem. Wilson was probably our most authoritarian president. He abused the living shit out of things like the Sedition Act (which if I remember correctly originated from his administration), he set up a civilian secret police force called the Citizen's Brigade or Sedition Brigade, I don't remember which. Those actually led to people being jailed for long periods of time on suspicion and never receiving due process. I might be wrong but I think he's the one who sterilized that girl in the south.. He, and both Roosevelts (ESPECIALLY FDR, though Teddy was the original RINO and shares blame) saddled us with the majority of the "progressive" social welfare programs that are crippling for our society, and he (Wilson) definitely gave rise to the prohibitions that led to the drug war. He was the architect of segregation in the south. And he basically founded the League of Nations, which was the first incarnation of the shit pile known as the United Nations, which further gave us the EU. If you're ever curious how fucking epically disastrous progressivism was in America, and want to see how progressivism gave direct rise to both Marxism AND fascism and how both ideas germinated and fared in the U.S., and how that also influenced the rise of those ideas in the Eastern Bloc and the popularity of globalism an excellent starting point is the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. He was the biggest, most tyrannical, most evil piece of shit to ever occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And guess what party he was part of, which still lionizes him today.

@@leonelimalevu2199 in the end, my man, Wilson is proof that the phrase many like to employ - "it couldn't happen here" - is absolute horseshit. It not only can happen here, it did happen here, and to lesser extent its currently happening. Look into what's happening with the J6 prisoners or the New York 9.

man I was an atheist from an early age but I was in a catholic school... a few times when I had a moral dilemma I genuingly thought "what would Spidey do?" Haha it's kinda ridiculous but goes to show what you're saying: heroes used to be a moral compass, an ideal to aspire to. Nowadays...

I also think they need to not just make superhero books but make all different types of stories.

But then how would we deconstruct the villain to explain they were actually good and the hero bad? Have to make morals less absolute so everyone can be a hero.

And yes Aramonde... the stories need to be as varied and original as possible to grab the attention of a new readership and hold it.

The superhero genre has gone through so much deconstruction it's long over due for a reconstruction. Let's make morality and gender binary again. Death to woke shit.

I was loud and boisterous making my game the center of attraction. I had dozens of routines, my favorite was when I would wink at the parents and let the kids think they outwitted me, grudgingly handing over their prize.
