In one word: politics.

More words from here:

Domain-level play is an old term for giving RPG characters political power in the form of ”domains” they control, be those guilds, corporations, or part or all of a sovereign nation. Historically, Dungeons and Dragons campaigns would eventually see the characters having enough wealth and influence to purchase a stronghold, which would give them not only a base of operations but also a parcel of land to see over. Once the characters were officially nobles in this way, a whole new area of storylines could open up, involving courtly intrigue as well as broader politics. At a default level this would insert characters onto a bigger political stage, but it was both possible and for some palatable to start changing the course of politics in the world in which the game took place.

Feels like we are close to “We have always been at war with Eurasia.”

Why should it be a bot? It could be a feature built into Lemmy itself.

Automotive developers successfully switched from barely-knowing-C to barely-knowing-C++. Surely, they will be equally successful in switching to barely-knowing-Rust.

Web access doesn’t work for months now and the admin has disappeared.

Ich sehe da da gutgemeinte Ironie aber für Wahlwerbung ist das zu subtil.

There seems to be a lot of attention on WotC actions, so I guess people are concerned that it might work to turn D&D in this dreaded "lifestyle brand?" Statements like the "it won't work" in the title serve to convince yourself then.

I don't care about WotC. There is no threat to anything I'm playing. If they destroy the D&D brand, so be it.

Could it still affect me negatively? Maybe indirectly. If D&D blows up, then RPG community probably shrinks and fewer people join. The most popular game is the entry game for many after all. So it will hurt the many small indie creatives too. Maybe there will be a painful correction. On the other hand, it probably results in a more healthy and resilient community afterwards. Still, I would feel sorry for the people who live on a small RPG business now which might not survive a D&D implosion.

Den Preis finde ich gar nicht so schlimm bei Staatsausgaben. Blöd nur dass so viel von dem Geld ins Ausland fließt statt die eigene Wirtschaft zu fördern.

Falls die Grünen in Thüringen an der 5% Hürde scheitern, könnte die AfD ein Drittel der Sitze bekommen. Dann können sie ganz legal den Verfassungsschutz lahmlegen.

Warum geht hier kein Ansatz von "Markt regelt"? Wenn die Infrastruktur teurer wird, muss sich das halt im Preis niederschlagen. Deswegen gibt es doch "Grundpreis" und "Verbrauchspreis" in der Gasrechnung.

2016 hat München für Sicherheitspersonal auf dem Oktoberfest 3,6 Millionen Euro ausgegeben. Aber wer will denn hier vergleichen.

Die gute alte Frage nach Korrelation vs Kausalität…
