Because I can't sleep, I'm going to post a massive Star Wars thread, and talk about what I think is wrong (and right) with the franchise as such, and why that's basically okay and normal. I feel like the tension of Star Wars is, and always has been, between two groups of writers: the ones who want to recreate their beloved childhood, and the ones who want to build from the ingredients the other group left behind.

What do I mean by that?

I'm honestly surprised at the idea that NFTs might be the "red line" for most D&D consumers. The marketing behind NFTs is "buy your way into the ranks of the cool kids", D&D is already positioned as being "the winning team" in the TTRPG space, & who doesn't like to be a winner? I don't want to talk about NFTs as such here. I do want to talk about what motivates people. And I think that it's often emotion. It's so easy to construct intellectually rigorous justifications after the fact, but it's hard to live off of those instead of your core feelings
