after your thanksgiving dinner compared to the super bowl they are both football right and one of them is probably matters more to you because you're going to remember going out there with your friends and throwing the football around after thanksgiving maybe more so than watching the super bowl unless it's like a really great super bowl or anything like that right but boy think about the dollar difference between those one was like twelve dollars for you to go buy a football and then go out to the backyard and throw the football around

The other one was like God knows how many millions of dollars. It changes entire cities, right? Like if you go to Gen Con, you are still paying a tax to go to Gen Con based on the fact that they had a Super Bowl there like 15 years ago or something like that. It's bananas. But to me, that's actually, this is really a really cool thing.

It's cool that this game has traversed everything from like two or three players around a table with some paper and a pencil that you swiped from the local library. To Madison Square filling out Madison Square Garden. Right. That is fascinating to me. I just think it's really, really cool that the game has expanded this much that 20,000 people. I had a friend of mine who went to this.

I haven't had a chance to talk to her about it yet, but I heard that she got tickets and she went there and actually watched it. And I want to hear what that was like. Like, what was it like sitting in the thing? wow, are we in a different time for this hobby? And I think it's fantastic. I think it's, I don't think there's any negative aspect of this.

One of the common negative concerns is that this is giving a false impression of what the game is like. And I would not worry about that. First of all, we're making that up as a story. I have heard some anecdotes where people have comments said, oh, I thought this game was going to be more like it was on Critical Role. I'm sure it happens. I'm sure it's also rare.

And most people are just happy to sit down with their friends and play the game. So you don't need to worry about that. And certainly you don't have to worry about it on behalf of other people. We can worry about our own games. We don't have to worry about other people's games. I'm going to talk about that a little bit more when I talk about the Zeitgeist.

But in the meantime, I am personally fascinated by this idea. And I think it's really, really cool. And I love how our hobby has expanded from some people hanging around a table with some three by five cards and some pencils you swiped from the library all the way up to filling out 20,000 seats at Madison Square Garden in order to watch people sit around and play D&D.

It's the kind of thing many people can't even get their heads around, the idea that why would you ever want to watch people play D&D? 20,000 people work their asses off to go watch people play D&D. Really, really fascinating. I mentioned this last week that there was a really cool thread on Ian Whirl. I actually mentioned the original video, which is really good.
