I've been waiting for this next chapter of this series. This one definitely reminded me also of Seth Skorkowsky. It's funny, as you read through it I was thinking back on my current group of the past 15 years: who fit into what roles at what times (of course everyone hits at least 2 groups of these, even the bad ones!). Great video once again, thank you. He was very prescient on the fakers and grifters for money too. What a concept to even think about way back then.
@@stephenclements6158 Throughout my life I'm sure i've hit most of these at one point or another! I've been the advisor before, maybe a bit of a rules lawyer in my younger years, I've been the "enforcer" who attempted in-game player-vs-player to rein in a bully player, the DM who had to address problem players, and I've been guilty of creating characters who were not team-oriented or suited to the campaign at-play. Of course these days I like to think I'm at least an expert player by now. My group has a rough average of system mastery for 2nd edition that we mostly know what's going on, but there are odd situations that we all have to look up now and again.
@@stephenclements6158 Yessir. It's why I don't get the OSR when it tries to emulate 2e. 2e is already there, incredibly modular, and aside from a few quirks that we've come to get used to and embrace over the years, it is all the system you need.

@@ClownKenny thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Do you fit any of his stereotypes? I try to be the good kind of advisor, but opinions may vary. :)

@@ClownKenny 2e master race.

@@ClownKenny man, don't get me started on the problem posed by everybody and their brother having their own RPG system! But agreed!
