(Castle throneroom, interior. King Has of Bro is attended by his court Wizard, from the Coast.)
KH: So we have lost the support of the youtubers?
WC: Aye, m'lord. But it is of no matter.
KH: True. We will create more content than they could ever dream. They will return for scraps
KH: The kickstarter leyline is bound to us?
WC: Not without effort, m'lord, but it is done. Wrapped in deep magics, it will facilitate your plans whether it likes them or not.
(a banging noise is heard)
KH: What manner of racket-
(guards open the doors to find a sheaf of open indie system announcements hammered to the door)
WC: Wha...what hubris
KH: Do these fools not realize that I have decreed that we OWN them?!
(distantly, houndsong is dragged off by rational community members while spitting and flipping the double bird)
WC: Will...will the iron bank of Blackrock--
KH: SPEAK NOT THAT NAME, CUR *slap*
KH:...
(KH sits, pinching nose)
KH: This matters not. The serfs know not the names of these petty upstarts. They will toil happily in the microtransaction fields none the wiser.
WC: Yes, m'lord
(an horn of alarm is heard. Bells toll).
KH: WHAT NOW.
*guards whisper to WC*
WC: S...sire...it seems MCDM has announced their own open game.
(KH roars) YOU ASSURED ME OF LORD COLVILLE'S LOYALTY
(WC cowers)
KH: WHAT OF DUKE MERCER? Does Baron Mulligan muster his armies?!
WC: Silence thusfar, m'lord.
KH: Your spellcraft binds them?
WC: Unknown, m'lord. But the mercenary Lord Iyengar has signaled her displeasure, and we know they are allies.
KH: Troubling. Troubling. Still, we can weather a siege if that is all--
(D&D Beyond bursts in, crying)
KH: SPEAK, VASSAL
DDB: T-t-they're COMING!
WC: Who, fool, who?!
(DDB gestures to window. All look out to behold an army waving #opendnd banners).
WC: ...my lord, I...
KH: Make the blood sacrifices. Summon the lawyers and the PRomancers. We can fight this.
WC: At once, m'lord.
KH: What of this Kobold you spoke of? The free agent?
WC: They have done mighty works for us in the past.
KH: They will stand with us? They work for coin, nay?
(Unseen by the three, Kobold Press emerges from the shadows behind them, wearing an eyepatch and cloaked in open gaming).
KPr, whispering: raise the flag, tyrant.
(If anyone wants to run this campaign, I offer it up with spiteful glee)
