Wasn't mercantilism the death knell of feudalism due to the shift from land-based wealth to capital-based wealth?

Feudalism started dying after the black death wiped out nearly half of all serfs. The lords started poaching each other's peasants with promises of lower taxes and better treatment. The monarch could no longer rely on his vassals to provide him with large armies, so he had to rely on mercenary bands, which cost money, which required proto-capitalism. Mercantilism was a way to survive the decline, not really a cause.

Dunno, I personally couldn't give two quarters of a shit about CR and who owns what rights, I both play and DM so all I care about is the table, and as it's mostly a RP one, we will be testing it more extensively (had one session so far), but all the hate is rather bizzare.

Having an NPC give a pithy monologue for minutes at a time while the players sit by and gawk only really seems impressive or cool if you only see it once. But when you see that he does that shit in every game whether he's a player or GM, you realize what a crock of shit that style of play is. Nevermind that all of Dimension 20 is heavily edited and even full of reshot lines and takes, but Brennan himself is like a one trick pony and that one trick is spewing some reddit-tier monologue in a silly voice while he hunches forward and opens his eyes really wide at the players.

The things he's praised for are either the work of gratuitous editing, having an entire production team on hand to oversee and manage the show, including props, music, presentation, editing, etc, or it's clips of his "epic" moments where he leans forward and delivers a redditor monologue to a table full of slack-mouthed paid actors whose job it is to mug for the camera.

None of that is game mastering.

The black one looks heavily medicated and about to try and eat my face.
The one in back center has an offputtingly long neck.
The right has a stereotype on the top and a different stereotype on the bottom.
Brennan is slightly off-center.
The background is both bland and busy, giving the whole image a brownish/washed out look, which makes the two non-symmetrically placed white shirts draw more attention than necessary.
Based on all this, hopes are not high for the game.

Its combat is extremely clunky with everything having like 3-6HP and you always deal 1,2 or 3 HP of damage but you have to roll a lot of dice in order to get to that conclusion.
The DM having that resource and being more or less powerless without it seems weird too.
Finally I hate these freeform abilities where a player just writes a random trait on his sheet and has to bargain with the DM everytime it might be applicable.

It's somehow rules light and at the same time clunkier than D&D.

You just know the stakes are low because no character could die to a random crit or other unlucky series of events if it doesn't fit the narrative. And you have these talented actors that do have the skills to improvise on the spot but they never even get the chance.

They wanted a mature, Westworld like setting, and the player wanted to be a bot. She got what she wanted, but like all theater kid/actor wannabes, she couldn't RP it through. She could have made something great out of it, but played the victim card.
This, as opposed to Aabria as DM who constantly shat on Carrero (and only her), almost bringing her to tears.
As for Satine, she is a grifter just like Aabria (and all of CR).

Agreed. Hated the guy. He, (like CR) welcomed the culture of snowflakes, control freaks, and those that can't separate fantasy from reality. It's so strange. The players (and audience) know these GMs have kinks and "alternative lifestyles" to begin with and like them for it, but are lying in wait to destroy them when it shows in their fiction.
Supposedly, CR's home game wasn't so gutless and muzzled as they've always been streaming. After getting away with >>96463623 and playing both sides with every WotC controversy, they are probably immune. They are too greedy and phony now to risk it.

No, the three primary factors of production are land, labor, and capital. Capital is the fixed product of human labor, land is all the shit that existed without humans doing anything.

Agree about him being a hypocrite. Role-playing is NOT having complete control over what happens to your character, especially when you choose to play a fuck bot. Safety tools are for toddler minds and control freaks. What he did was suicidal. Like Mercer and Mulligan, I have yet to see one of these "professional GMs" grasp the concept of TTRPG.

It was the players who fucked up. At any point they could have said something, tapped the proverbial X-card, asked to pump the brakes, just ask where he was going with it, etc. Instead they all just stared and gawked as Koebel giggled and grinned about how fucking epic this robot orgasm program was.

If we want to play devil's advocate, he should have read the room. He should have talked to the player before hand. He should have been aware that this was the wrong time and the wrong place to do such a thing. I'm not familiar with the rest of the campaign, but I find it hard to believe that at any time during the planning and then production of the show that any agreed to any sexual themes.

Given the way no one on the show said anything until twitter kicked up a shitstorm, I get the feeling that all the players decided to pull the ripcord and bail because the sharks were circling and Koebel was gonna get raked over the coals anyways. So they got the fuck out of there and pretended like it was because they were also so deeply, DEEPLY offended and disgusted by his heinous behavior. It wasn't that they were trying to avoid being dragged down with him. No no. It was that they were just so SHOOK by the whole thing that it took them a while to decide to quit. Smart decision too, since the cancel mob kept harassing Koebel until he vanished and got removed from numerous projects.

The thing is them doing that 100% is what led to him going into self-exile. If they had talked like adults, which they supposedly all were, either during the session or privately and resolved things. And then came back for next session with a simple, "we sorted it out". What could the mob truly do? They would have no fuel for their pyre.

It really was obscene how they all claimed to be so terribly distraught and uncomfortable. Yet you can watch and see they barely react to the situation at all.

Anyone who's actually played games can immediately tell you that twenty-somethings do not make good players. Ever. Fucking no. Thirty-somethings are just barely gaining the self-awareness and world knowledge to take baby steps into serious authorship. But they won't find their voice for another decade after they work through all their mental healthy issues. It's only self-actualized and healed adults who can roleplay sufficiently well to be entertaining for anyone else to watch.
The rare times I allow people to apply to join my games, I automatically discard applications under the age of 35, just straight up. I'm not dealing with your bullshit, lack of self-regulation, excuses, stupid drama, trashy memes that you mistake for information and flaky attendance. Fuck off.

I think Sam has a bigger capacity to be a decent player than Marisha or Laura who either try to take up the spotlight constantly or are the gigglers who can't stop queefing and laughing about it. Laura peaked with Jester solely because the accent was cute and she embodied being a trickster way too well. I cannot fucking stand any character Marisha plays because she's the theater kid who didn't even make it past the auditions in the high school play. The worst part of all of this is that they're not even going to sequester the shitters into one group but spread them between the two tables like shit over a piece of toast.

I've misplaced my screencap of the incident, but at most they look slightly confused while the GM is grinning. If there was some profound psychological or emotional harm or any sincere distress happening to anyone in that group, every single one of them unanimously and wordlessly decided they were going to poker face their way through it with superhuman patience. If I recall correctly, they didn't even say anything after the stream ended. Incredible force of will from all of them.

You two are both giga autists. You are unable to process other humans' external emotional signifiers. The playgroup in the situation you're describing were all clearly stunned and mortified. If you are unable to perform that interpretive ability it's fine, I'm not going to hold your slightly-lesser brains against you, but you cannot become autisturtles and tuck into a shell of reality denial and pretend your failed sensory suite is giving you an accurate reading of consensus reality.

Could you cite what they've said that suggests it will be West Marches? Everything I've seen them say suggests it will be a shared world with effectively three campaigns.

West Marches means:
- Large number of players responsible for self-scheduling and organizing groups on their own;
- Large, open area of play, which players explore and compete for loot in.

Even at an expansive definition of "West Marches," at the very least, it should imply a shared campaign structure between parties and fluctuating groups, neither of which seem to be the case here?
