Are you man enough to watch WoTC new Dungeon Masters show, featuring their "all-star cast of lifelong D&D aficionados"? They look pretty fierce and intimidating. Well, other than the white guy who looks a little anxious after his plastic surgery, but still. The brown DM lady says "She's excited to update the legacy created by Gary Gygax for a more modern and diverse and creative audience"The first episode has 4000 views, is that more than Critical Role?
>>97956759I'm not sure if I'm man enough to deal with /tg/ finding another bunch of e-celebs to obsessively follow and complain about.
>>97956788>I'm not sure if I'm man enough to deal with /tg/ finding another bunch of e-celebs to obsessively follow and complain about.Finally, the BPD board trannie tells a joke that's actually kind of funny
>>97956759>They look pretty fierce and intimidating.They look like they'd all fold in and cry the moment a real man even raised his voice a little.
>>97956781They won't.They'll continue to falsely advertise their product and run damage control against anyone who dares criticize their precious slop.
>>97956759You and your friends all look like absolute faggots, OP.
>>97956759Why do all the 'women' in the photo look really angry.
>>97956759>The first episode has 4000 views, is that more than Critical Role?COPE AND SEETHE CHUD
>>97956916the white guy looks like he'd get hard if that happened
>ITT: anons learn what satire isthe state of this thread makes me more depressed than the state of dndI expect nothing from dnd, but 4chan is supposed to be the enlightened master caste, free from corporate machinationsso where is your wit?
>>97956759>The first episode has 4000 views, is that more than Critical Role?Says 1 million for me, surely all coming from this thread.
>>97956988In my experience, women forced into activities with other women tend to hate eachother if they wern't already friends beforehand.
>>97957068>so where is your wit?Killed in 2018.
>>97956759I fully expect this to be over produced and completely soulless as Wotc's massive list of guidelines and policies keeps them from being too casual and fun with anything.I actually like almost everyone at this table though, dunno about the guy on the right I haven't seen much of him.
>>97956988None of them want to be there and are just doing it for a paycheck.
>>97957089>>The first episode has 4000 views, is that more than Critical Role?>Says 1 million for me, surely all coming from this thread.4000 is their dedicated channel. 1m is the main channel. 1m views... with 899 comments, 90% of the "Wow awesome really looking forward to this!" variety. 9000 likes, lol, when you'd expect 100k+. Totally organic and not bot views. 1m real organic views even though there's absolutely zero discussion about this show I've never heard of until this moment and doesn't have a single thread on REDDIT of all places.
>>97956759I have no idea who these losers are. Care to enlighten me?
>>97957184Not worth the time. Not worth your time, I mean. Or anyone's really.
>>97957184Two of them were the voice actors for Lae'zel and Astarion in BG3.
take THAT, Chuddie!>[–]Theazel>28 points 11 days ago >Jasmine is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to storytelling. I've been in her twitch/discord community for a few years now and watching this woman get her bag and feel her oats has been a delight. Her storytelling is absolutely tactile, and like an onion, it has LAYERS. She is always 10 steps ahead of her players it seems like, and she seamlessly weaves unexpected outcomes into the story like she had planned them all along. I really hope this goes well, because she and the rest of the cast deserve to tell their stories.
>>97956781when they've cast video game voice actors and actual play theater kids? nah, you're going to get CR-lite and you're going to enjoy it
>>97957214>involved with BG3Tells us everything we need to know.
>>97958083This reads like something an AI with the instructions "be as much of a faggot as possible" wrote.
>>97958249>This reads like something an AI with the instructions "be as much of a faggot as possible" wrote.Real, old-school faggots have biting wit. You have to ask the AI to sound like a Redditor. Not sure if Millennial Redditor or Zoomie Redditor.
>>97957177The numbers are fudged as fuck, for sure. >Dungeon Masters channel - 15.3k subs on a channel that was made over a month ago, and only started posting videos 10 days ago18k views on a Short, 5k as the highest on actual videos, so fewer people watched this channel than subbed to it, and said Short is just a clip of a guy talking about being choked.>D&D official youtube channel, 716k subs after 16 fucking years2 weeks ago, they were struggling to break 10k views on old episodes of the D&D cartoon, and then the 31 second opening title sequence cracking 3 mil out of nowhere, followed by 9k for another cartoon repost, 4.7k for an interview about the show, 4k for behind the scenes, 1mil for the first two "episodes" of the actual show, and then 6.9k for another cartoon.For "The World's Greatest RPG" their views are kind of abysmal. 3 million people showed up to watch the title sequence? Bullshit. 3 million people didn't show up in 16 years to watch anything else they've ever posted.
>>97958083>I've been in her twitch/discord community for a few years now I've literally never heard of any of these people and the fact that an article from fucking Variety pops up when searching her name tells me this shit is being astroturfed like crazy. It took a little digging to even find her supposedly famous twitch channel, which despite having over 100k followers, struggles to break 100 views on any of her clips. Her tiktok seems about the same.Everything about this show reeks of paid promotion, botted views, and astroturf.
>>97956759Guy on the right looks like a decent dude.Guy on top looks like he's a good player, but kinda weird outside the game.Three chicks look like problem players. Not because they're wamman, but because they all look performatively bitchy, and that's a terrible attitude in players.
>>97958083>she seamlessly weaves unexpected outcomes into the story like she had planned them all alongBecause she did.
D&d is dead and BG3 is the faggiest game I have ever played.
>>97956759Astarion's haircut for this is so fucking bad.
>>97961210>Guy on the right looks like a decent dude.Looks weirdly half Indian-half Mexican
3 browns, 3 women, and the one white guy hasn't come to terms with balding yet. No thanks
Damn anyone heard of smiling
>>97961210One of the shorts on their channel is of him being a weird pervert at the table and telling and NPC to choke him, or something like that. Which is extra funny in light of the Adam Koebel drama thread we had just recently, where that guy got crucified for something not too far removed from that kind of behavior.
The guy on top is the voice actor of Astarion in BG3 and this isn't even his first streamed version of D&D. He's probably the main reason most people are tuning in.
that top guys face reminds me of gollum
>>97956759They could have spent this marleting money bringing back Dragon Magazine, or making more content people actually wanted, like support for previous editions.Anyway, if the fatty loses a bit of weight she might turn out being a bombshell.
>>97956759I've never had much interest in watching other people play TTRPGs. But congrats to anyone who can make a living at it--that's rad. And I'm glad to see our hobby become mainstream and more folks get welcomed in. When I grew up, it was a refuge for dorks and nerds and outcasts. It was welcoming. It should continue to be. My 14 year-old niece now has a Sunday game and she gives an inspiration point to any player who dresses up as their character. All teenage girls. It's fuckin' rad that so many more people are into this hobby that has given me, among other things, a lifelong interest in reading and learning.
>>97963548You sound like a shill and a retard and probably also a bot. Tell Chris Cocks we said he should kill himself on a livestream.
>>97963553I'm none of those things. I'm just old and not a dick. You don't have to be a bitter, angry little boy just because other people have fun, too. Let it go, anon.
>>97963561Yet you're here posting on 4chan in a rage bait thread.
>>97963610NTA, but I would rather talk with him than with youdo you mean to scare away everyone who is not bitter?
>>97963561>don't be mean!Shill.
>>97956759Neil Newborn is usually a regular lookin' guy, I don't know why they styled him with an early 2000's "This is me, now, mom!" haircut.
>>97963727>"This is me, now, mom!" haircut.I bet they literally are trying to make him look more like Matt Mercer.
>>97963727So he looks more like that guy from creeteekael rooleee
>>97963727That floppy boyish haircut can take 20 years off a man
>>97963727He looks like an evil Kevin Sorbo
>>97963727>a regular lookin' guyyour picrel looks like he got rescued after 10 years in a sex dungeon
>>97963610I am. /tg/ used to be a nce place. My vain hope is that it can be again, some day. You angry little incel boys who flooded us around 2018 should finally grow inito adults, pretty soon. And then we can have our board back.>>97963706Shilling what, anon? Kindness is free. it's bitterness and anger that'll cost you something.
No clue who they are but the seated chick is kinda hot
>>97963789Kevin Sorbo is the evil Kevin Sorbo.
>>97963832>begging the questionYour behavior is inorganic and retarded.
>>97963832>I am. /tg/ used to be a nce place. My vain hope is that it can be again, some day. You angry little incel boys who flooded us around 2018 should finally grow inito adults, pretty soon. And then we can have our board back.What's it like to be way, way, WAY too far left autogynephile for /tg/ but yet just sliiiiiightly too non-conformist for RPG.net? We know you can be 99% on the Good Boy spectrum and you'll still get banned from the Big Purple. You're far more suited for their totalitarianism yet their One Drop rule got you banned, didn't it?
>>97963943>Thinks naming fallacies is meaningfulAnon we're not having an argument. There's nothing in contention, here.>>97964006>All this projectionAnon if you want to know what I think, you can just ask me. Your little story you've invented about who I must be isn't relevant to anything.
>>97964104No one is going to give you reddit gold for your attempts at witty combebacks, faggot.
>>97964241Witty comebacks? You're confused, anon. I'm genuinely reaching out to you, to try to teach you that there's something better than your non-stop rage and bitterness. It doesn't accomplish anything. It doesn't even make you happy. It just makes you sad and angry. All you've gotta do to feel better about yourself is let it go. You saw a photo of women and non-white people on the internet and flew into a fit, anon. That's pathetic. You can get better. Want to.
>>97963548>My niece>Not my daughterWhy are you a childless weirdo anon? All that free kindness didn't net you a fertile woman for a wife?
>>97956759
>>97963904I don't even know the context, but fully expected this reply and wasn't disappointed.
>>97964289>Why are you a childless weirdo anon?My wife and I never wanted kids, is all. Both my brothers have kids and we all see each other often. Thanks for asking it's nice of you to show interest.
>>97963548>My 14 year-old niece now has a Sunday game and she gives an inspiration point to any player who dresses up as their character. All teenage girls.Gramps, you can't use the same lies here that you use on Reddit.
>>97964411Anon, if you're suspicious of my personal anecdote, you could ignore that sentence without it changing the meaning of a single thing I said. Don't know why you're suspicious of my anecdote, but I can't help you with that part.
ladies, please, you're all pretty.-This new attempt at brand management is bad and so is it's fake marketing-/tg/ has gotten tremendously worse since 2016, and only better posting and actual effort can make it better for everyone, including >you-the marketing for D&D is schitzophrenic, relentless, and fumbling every easy win-the only white guy in this show is known for playing a gay abused vampire and getting laughed over by drunks during an award show where he talked about being gay abused as he accepted an award for playing said gay abused vampire-you should have children and raise them to be good human beingstl;dr>everything is shit. You don't have to be.
>>97956759I'm not usually judgmental but the guy in the back looks like the designated serial killer in a bad law and order episode
>>97964477His face is bizarrely puckered. I think it's just a terrible picture.>>97964472That all seems mostly correct. Good job, anon.>/tg/ has gotten tremendously worse since 2016, and only better posting and actual effort can make it better for everyone, includingYou're right about that. The best thing we can do is to stop being angry. Too many people come here TO be angry. It's never going to have a positive outcome.
>>97964252You want sincerity?No one is raging, everyone is laughing. When people see the kind of retarded shit in the OP, they are mocking it, not angry at it. There are angry threads, but this is clearly not one of them.But go ahead and pretend you're the only sane man who is totally a nice guy reaching out at these angry nerds, I'm sure it makes you feel so superior doesn't it?
>>97964252Your insincere obsession with niceness and happiness belies a profound pathetic sadness. This song and dance you insist on doing has only accomplished making you look like a huge fucking faggot.
>>97964506>When people see the kind of retarded shit in the OP, they are mocking it, not angry at it. There are angry threads, but this is clearly not one of them.I wish you were right, anon.But, at best, it's a bitter humor. It's defensive. It's trying to make yourself feel taller by pushing someone else down. Read the comments. Sperging about trannies and women. This isn't mirth. It's anger, and it's defensive. It's hurting yourselves. And I'd really like you all to start feeling better about yourselves.
>>97964506>>97964556See what I mean? >>97964542>Haha, I accused someone of being gay on the internet!You think that anon is accomplishing anything other than making himself a more angry, more bitter person? He's not.
>>97964562>being a condescending dick makes people angry and causes then to hurl insults at youYeah, not shit anon. People are getting angry at YOU, not the show in the OP.Also, newfag, calling people "faggot" is like calling them "buddy" on 4chan. If you were really an oldfag like you are pretending to be you'd know that.
>>97964562You seem extremely asspained about the tone of text posts on 4chan, faggot. I thought you were some kind of oldfag? You should be used to being called a faggot at all times for any conceivable reason, positive or negative. The way you respond to everything with incessant whining about how people aren't nice and how everyone is being mean and outraged for no reason is just projecting. I'm sitting here enjoying a cold drink and a slice of pizza while watching you flail about pretending to be the fucking Buddha on 4chan in the year of out lord 2026.
>>97964584>Yeah, not shit anon. People are getting angry at YOU, not the show in the OP.You think so? Go read the comments from before I posted, anon. It's just blind rage at women, "trannies," people who aren't white, gay people. It really isn't about me at all. It's about the angry little boys who post these things to sooth their own egos when they feel vulnerable that others succeed who aren't straight, white men.>>97964600>You seem extremely asspained about the tone of text posts on 4chan, faggot.You think so? That's interesting, anon.
>>97964620>angry little boys>vulnerableI'll just repeat>But go ahead and pretend you're the only sane man who is totally a nice guy reaching out at these angry nerds, I'm sure it makes you feel so superior doesn't it?You can do this song and dance for as long as you like, but no one is fooled.
>>97964472>>everything is shit. You don't have to be.this deserves to be a motto or a sloganwell put anon
>>97964620You woudn't be rushing to try and finger wag at every post if you weren't so insecure about your faggoty behavior, buddy.
>>97963904Or at least he played him on TV.
>>97963832the maga revolution and its consequences has been a disaster for /tg/
>>97961580That's called a Filipino.
>>97964631What do you get out of trying to convince other people they're "angry?" Do you think that wins arguments, somehow?>>97964655I'm not wagging a finger, anon. I'm extending a hand. Be better.
>>97967306You're more bitter than anyone else in this thread, poseur. Had to come back and get the last word just so you can tell yourself that you're such a nice guy who cares about other people.
>>97963548Share here your niece and friends in their cosplay for reasons
>>97963832You're laying the pilpul a bit thick, pajeet. Considering this is Pinkerton Pinko Pozzed WoTC you're shilling for, they're going to welch on paying you and whatever street shitter shekles they gave you upfront will probably be reclaimed by the bank once they're done with you.
>>97967358Sorry you feel that way, anon. Take some time. Reflect on it. Maybe you'll learn to be a little better, in time. Most people really don't feel the need to type about how much they're obsessed with hatred on the internet. You don't have to feel that bad, either.>>97971943Shilling what, exactly? Kindness is still free, anon.
>>97971974If you're feeling generous, perhaps you'll move your designated shilling back to r/Israel or r/Worldnews? Perhaps they'll will take your saccharine saarshit to the schnoz because this isn't kindness it's kanjar kvetchery with a dash of kala lulla pi up your pilpulling pooper.
>>97956759Nothing subtle but excellent quality bait
>>97958528>For "The World's Greatest RPG" their views are kind of abysmal. Because people play this instead of watching videos about the game.
>>97964633I prefer to tell the truth than to be nice, frog
What with all the Non-White women? I've been playing D&D and TTRPGs since nineteen eighty fucking eight. I worked at a game store for years, and can honestly count on one hand the number of non-white women I saw, and women in general lmao. And I wasn't in some bumfuck town in Nebraska or something, I was working and playing at a store in New York City.
>>97972495It is because of the DEI policies.
>>97972173WotC being unable to run a brand account is not a sign that all of their corpo cocksucking fans are just conveniently not interested in whatever slop WotC is advertising.
>>97972495Clearly, if they make a streaming show with non-white women playing D&D, that will get more non-white women to be interested and play D&D because... uhhhh shut up
>>97974595It’s an idea that’s worth trying at least once or twice to see if it works, but after having failed repeatedly for so long, at this point it’s a sunk cost.
>>97956759Does anyone care about WOKE stars fake playing DND show 34? I mean it's 5.5 DND too, the gayest and worst one you could use. Even 4e would been better than that shit. Also they look like the rejects from a DEI hire group. From beta white male who is the group's punching bag and bottom of the totem pole, POC girl-boss has to always push herself as the leader and centerfold, preppy know-it-all white girl who basically Lisa Simpson, "quirky" girl who uses crystals tarot cards and is a "witch," and a brown guy who might be gay.
>>97974780They are never going to admit "the modern audience" doesnt exist. Its white men all the way down.
>>97963750It's because Leon Kennedy is the latest heartthrob
>>97964633Unfortunately you do (have to be shit). It's just that some people don't care, and thus think they're not.
I can't even begin to comprehend how fucking gay you have to be to watch this kind of shit
>>97974831>>They are never going to admit "the modern audience" doesnt exist. Its white men all the way down.The video of this image is deeply funny and the irrefutable response to any WoTC lies about the modern audience.
>>97976160Every time I've gone to gencon, I've always, ALWAYS, seen more black people on the street panhandling than I ever see inside the convention hall. Funniest shit I ever saw was some scrawny beanpole nerd at GenCon wearing a "black lives matter" shirt as he walked past a dozen different black homeless guys, very obviously terrified to make eye contact with any of them, let alone stop and give them money.
>>97976160To fully appreciate the crowd you have to absorb each guy individually.
>>97978388It answers the question of "how pathetic are the middle aged white guys who still support WoTC after it openly and explicitly says "we can't get rid of you fast enough" while hiring 90 IQ DEI transwomen who only learned about the game 6 months ago"??The answer isn't their pathetic fat, bald, slovenly physicality. It's their gormlessness. I don't choose that adjective randomly; I don't know another word that so precisely describe these midwit cattle.
>>97972133I'm not even gonna lie man this shit is mega racist to me but I gotta give you props for your alliteration I wish more racists were as creative as you
>>97978422Yeah, sad to say. If these white boomers who basically kept their IPs alive when it wasn't popular till some DEI corpo shits on them after buying the IP and has some activist writer make their OCs the new main character and it all the same three archetypes. Take the often white girl character and change everything about her to make her a queer ugly woke bitch girl-boss with a new POC girl best friend that might her new lover. Like they did with He-Man. A new group of DEI OCs to replace the classic cast often the better then the heroes in every way. (Often having some of the old characters affirm it like that's enough to sell it to everyone.) Like we seen with Marvel/DCA reboot where they pink/rainbow/blackwash all the classic characters with DEI replacement that are clearly not the same character but just have the same name and maybe one or two similar pieces of clothing to say see they have the same "X" and all. Like that woke She-Ra reboot
>>97981410Though enough of them have been leaving said IPs and often making their own "X" with blackjack and hookers. I will give them that, though enough of them have basically been content cucks and accepting all this woke slop. If they said they can't wait for "you and yours to be replaced and die off from our fandom and community." Maybe you shouldn't help keep it alive.
>>97958083>she seamlessly weaves unexpected outcomes into the story like she had planned them all alongAre the modern dnd consumers really so divorced from the concept of 'gm planning'
>>97956759how's the foot game on the 3 broads?
>>97981530Well, they don't play DND, let alone are gamers to begin with. Just watching online or more like listening in the background. If they're not just consuming the tik-tok clips from it. Remember they would freak out if you ask them to roll up a character on the spot. Or even ask them their favorite race/class/spell/etc.
>>97972726I don't know, it seems to me that you don't want to accept reality.
>>97978422gen x and millenials had no outlet for wrongthink, they were trapped in a propaganda box with no escape and forced to consume goyslop for decadestheir brains are friedzoomers were born retarded because of smartphones but they can at least say/do whatever they want on tiktok
>>97956989>5e Ravenloft
>>97981709>Because people play this instead of watching videos about the game.Explain Critical Role then, retard.
>>97956759Looks like a pack of shitskins, doc.I'll pass.I'm done with being condescended to by my inferiors.
>>97968419And what reasons may those be anon?
>>97956759I like Dev and Neil, but the others look like DMV workers straight up
