>an RPG player could buy one set of books, then never buy any other books but continue to play that RPG forever without spending any more money>even ignoring pirating, even ignoring 3rd party publishers, even ignoring fans producing material completely for free online, a person could generate their own custom material for themselves, endlessly, with no limitations beyond their own imaginationHow can we transform these parasitic "creatives" into proper contributing members of the RPG society, submitting their monetary donations to the capitalist engine at the heart of the industry?Only ideas not protected by intellectual property rights please.
>>98837088>all of that shitlet's entertain you as if you were serious: Why would we ever want this to be the case? Why would anyone on this board give you the answer to this? Why would we agree to help you tie a noose to hang those among us who create their own stuff or refuse to engage with an openly hostile and woke corporate RPG industry that has time and again, front the height of their corporate HQ rooftops, shouted loud and clear that hate us, that they hate people who aren't terminally woke and ddon't vote for inifinity immigration and inifinity wellfare programs and gibs to the foreigners and the undeserving?Why would we help you?
>>98837088You create things that I want to buy rather that I have to, cultivate a community, etc etc.
>>98837088>>98837203Oh, and work on your art.
>>98837166Consider the video game or movie industry.Hundreds of billions of dollars are poured into them, more often than not towards undeserving companies generating repetitive trash that may actually be actively hurting society at the expense of the very consumers it targets that fund these industries.And yet, you must have your favorite video game. Your favorite movie. Which would not have ever come into existence without the god-devouring juggernaut that lives in the heart of that jungle.You owe your favorite video game to an industry that went from blip-bloop-blip-bloop shooting squares at stacks of larger squares all the way to scantily clad fighting game characters playing beach volleyball with realistic jiggle physics in just the span of a few decades thanks to billions upon billions of dollars pumped into thousands of companies employing millions of people who spent most of that time and money making games that compose the sea of mediocrity that the few shining good titles can rise above.Your favorite movie probably involved someone getting sexually harassed/raped behind the scenes at some point in time. Not sure how that's relevant, but just something to think about.Either way, pouring money into an industry can only lead to the industry getting better, at the small and insignificant cost of the industry also becoming far worse.
>>98837263i dont actually owe corporations shit and you're a retarded faggot. Kill all game devs, slaughter HR, rape games journalists to death an impale this dumb faggot poster on a stake.
>>98837293Name your favorite video game, movie, and RPG.
>>98837302No.
Im half convinced that the Meta for having a dumb opinion be taken seriously on this website is to first post an obviously worse opinion and then post your now seemingly well thought out "Opinion" as the first response an arbitrary number of minutes later.Either that or they want to generate screenshots to help astroturf some future culture war bullshit down the line when screenshots like these could assumed to be relevant and generated by thinking people naturally as opposed to artificial in every conceivable way.
>>98837263>you you you you>but not meGet over yourself, faggot.
>>98837088>contributing>industryNo thanks, I'm good senpai. You can keep your RPG society. I'll stick with my crusty old outdated grognard fantasy shit.
>>98837263>Consider the video game or movie industry.Fuck no. You get my antipathy. The beatings will continue until morale improves, which it hasn't since 2013>Hundreds of billions of dollars are poured into themWasted* FTFY> more often than not towards undeserving companies generating repetitive trashSay it louder and with more conviction please. this is the only thing you've said that is closest to factual truth. the reality is a lot more dire.>And yet, you must have your favorite video game.We already bought it when you originally made the version we liked the best.

SAUCE.JASON SCHRIER IS ON FUCKING RECORRD HAVING MADE-UP EVERYTHING ON HIS HIT-PIECE AGAINST BLIZZARD. THE FUCKING BILL COSBY SUITE NEVER EXISTED. THE MISSING BREAST MILK WAS BULLSHIT AND A LIE.>pouring money into an industry can only lead to the industry getting betterlol, lmao
>>98837442If half the amount of people were rumored to have been raped at Pride rallies as are rumored to be sexually assaulted/raped in the movie industry we would be putting faggots in camps again. I fucking agree with most of your points, but if you could stop being blindingly retarded for a few minutes that would be amazing
>>98837466Blindingly retarded? I see the light clearly and bask in the glow of the sun.You are blinded by ideology and political goals. I will never conceed to a fucking libtard like you and I would rather fight a kinetic war of extermination against monsters like you than to entertain your fucktarded libtard ideals.You fuckers deserve every terrible, awful thing that happens to you. Your side of the aisle has tried to assassinate Trump 10 times and counting. You faggots ASSASSINATED CHARLIE KIRK LIVE ON AIR/STREAM.EXTERMINATUS OR BUST. YOU ARE THE CHAOS WORSHIPPERS. WE ARE THE LOYALTISTS.THE EARTH WILL BURN BEFORE THE END OF THIS CONFLICT AND WE THE RIGHTEOUS WILL STAND TRIUMPHANT. WITH GOD AT OUR SIDEE, WE WILL BE TRIUMPHANT AND YOU WILL BE TURNED TO MULCH BY OUR MIGHTY CRUSADE TO RIGHT THE WRONGS COMMUNISM WROUGHT UPON THE WORLD.DEUS VULT.
this thread is terrible
>>98837512...i know we're having fun being satirical here, but maybe walk it back a bit.
>>98837550>I was merely pretending to be retarded
>>98837576You ARE joking, right? Just not in a very funny way?
>>98837602
>>98837412Entertaining an idea as if it were serious really shouldn't be taken as an effort to actually take it seriously.Calculating how many spiders can fit into a drow vagina should not be taken as an endorsement to try to do that during a game.
>>98837088>How can we transform these parasitic "creatives" into proper contributing members of the RPG society, submitting their monetary donations to the capitalist engine at the heart of the industry?Buy up all the basements, then rent out store space for people to run games in.Issue an RPG license. In order to buy a book you must have a license and it must be renewed yearly.Have court-appointed observers at every game to make sure that they're all being played legally (no unapproved/unlicensed material, no objectionable content), and have these observers need to be paid a fee.
>>98837088Work on your art.

>>98837210>>98837798>>98838948Ribbon and Cestree come from a comic made for /tg/ that started around 2009. They enjoyed mild popularity, and many panels from the comics and fan art of these characters was used for reaction images as well as "won't let me make a thread without an image" OPs. In 2016, 4chan had a banner contest for every board, and a banner featuring Ribbon was voted for the /tg/ banner, with second place also being a banner featuring Ribbon and Cestree. For some reason, this made a particularly obnoxious guy begin spamming "work on your art" every single time he saw one of these two characters, always samefagging for several posts and trying to force his triggered tick as if it were a widespread meme.This "woyafag" suffers from some sort of severe mental issues, and should be pitied.
>>98837166>let's entertain you as if you were serious: Why would we ever want this to be the case? Why would anyone on this board give you the answer to this? There's boardrooms filled with business majors pondering that question, and it'd be good to be prepared for whatever answers they come up with.
>>98837263Pouring money into the industry has mostly made video games worse, which is why most of my favourites are from the 90s.
>>98838973Don't forget that the artist who created Ribbon and Cestree hasn't posted on the board since he got doxxed by a woyafag in 2017.
>>98837263>pouring money into an industry can only lead to the industry getting betterThat's just strictly not true, and you know it. Being able to afford technological developments is not the same as "getting better." And dumping tons of money into TTRPGs as an industry only does you... what, exactly? Buys the devs more time to refine a system before publishing somehow? Makes the books even fancier? Allows of the manufacturing of more accessories they're going to charge you for?
