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.

So there's a couple, Stan, so Stan, spelled S-T-A-N exclamation mark, is a cartoonist and a designer and he worked at TSR for a long time and he has a wonderful YouTube series where he's now done more than 50 interviews with current and former TSR and Wizards of the Coast employees talking about D&D, especially for the 50th anniversary of D&D.

I actually just started watching the one he did with James Wyatt this morning. It looks really, really fun. But I haven't gotten into enough, so I'm not about to talk about it. But he did one with Ray Winninger that I found particularly interesting. I wrote a post on EN World about it. EN World is a great forum that I like hanging out with, hanging out on and talking about it.

And I posted about that. And what was really interesting is, so Ray Winninger went on to EN World to explain some of this stuff. And Mike Merles, another lead designer of fifth edition of D&D, came on as well to talk about it. And both of them talked back and forth, sometimes a little, I don't want to say heated, but contrary to one another.

Mike Merles, for example, clarified that when Ray Winninger said in the interview that the only reason there were so few 5e products coming out was that they didn't really have a staff to do more. Mike Merles said, no, it was absolutely a strategy that we had early on. So really interesting conversation.

It unfortunately kind of turned into a heated discussion about fourth edition of D&D, which was unfortunate. It didn't need to go that way, but it ended up going that way. And the thread got shut down, but it is still an awesome thread. I wanted to link to it. And if you want to kind of dive into predictions about where 2024. four is going from some of the lead designers that are there.

Some of them optimistic, some of them not. If you just want to see the interesting conversations that took place, it is one of the best threads I have ever seen on the end world. I'm going to link to it in the show notes. It was really, really interesting. And I, I really, I participated. I was the one who created the thread. So I think I deserve an any just for creating the thread. I don't know.
