"The term 'GNS' is moronic and annoying" – well this should be an interesting interview

Note: This is part 3 of 3. If you're the sort of person who prefers context for things (Ron certainly is), here are parts 1 & 2....

Part 1

Part 2

Oh boy, here we go again!

 

[niklinna]

Well, I thought I'd be able to pick out a thing or two to discuss but before I knew it there were so many. I'd say the talk about changes to publishing & commercialism were most interesting, followed not far after by the idea of RPGing as folk religion (from one of the earlier videos).

That's over 4 hours of video content. I'll have to get back to you.

The internet is a firehose of video content. It's a wonder anybody gets anything done!

I used to game with Ron, and love his weird brain (and MAN can he game!), but video content is just something my brain does NOT enjoy.

 

[BigZebra]

Recap anybody?

 

[AnotherGuy]

I'm actually keen on listening to these because my knowledge on Edward's is sparse. But yeah like @Retreater said I'll have to get back to you.

Its actually a pleasant drinking fountain once you eliminate the click bait like the videos posted here.

So far I've listened to 1.5 of the videos. I ... don't like Edwards. He comes across as pretentious.
"These are bad games."
"People don't play games correctly."
"You don't understand why you like playing TTRPGs."
Other than being a guy who wrote a game 20 years ago that I've never heard of, I don't see why his opinion should matter.
