After my announcement about how all this OGL nonsense will affect my work, people were understandably left with comments, concerns, and criticisms. Not only that, but there’s a lot of confusion in general about everything that’s going on and why it matters. So, I hosted an impromptu live chat in the Discord server to explain things as clearly as possible and to address some questions.
It went on for 90 freaking minutes! Oy vey.
Angry:
I know this live chat was an unpleasant one for you. But I couldn’t help but walk away feeling hopeful.
I don’t intend to downplay how difficult or painful this is. But listening to you talk about possibilities for the future got me excited. Now that your D&D content is off the table, the way has been cleared to tackle SMAFARGE and/or Thin and Crispy. And those are things I am really excited to see.
I know you respect Jordan Peterson and this reminds me of something he recently said. He talked about how the most vicious and vitriolic attacks against him were the ones that boosted his fame and popularity the most because people truly saw his character and the value of his beliefs. In some ways, this feels similar. This is a difficult time for content creators, but it seems like an opportunity where the best will shine.
My point here is to selfishly encourage you to keep going,because I love what you produce, and I cannot wait for SMAFARGE and any other Angry TTRPG products. So I wanted to share a little positivity I got from today’s live chat. Thank you for what you do. I started GMing because of your articles and they’ve been a tremendous part of the positive experiences I’ve had in this hobby. I’ll continue to support you as long as possible, even if I have to Venmo you or mail you a monthly check. Thanks for what you do!

Since you’re talking about the thank you’s… I want to add mine.
I know I haven’t been too active or reading many articles, but I have take a lot of your advice to heart, and grown from it. Made it my own, as they say. I think it also really helped in finding myself, and…I don’t really know. It’s been a while. And all quite engrained.
I do know that your analyses and BS articles were a blast.
I would definitely miss it. But I can’t blame you either.
Last few weeks have been a magical amount of mess.
