Well I love the sorcerer concept. Especially since it seems like the sacrifices can get pretty abstract if they go about it right. I'm already imagining a battlemage who sacrifices their personal safety by purposefully seeking out conflicts to get involved in, tweaking every horror they see on the nose so it will swipe at them. Kinda like an instigator-type character or protector depending on how much conflict is already around them.
Seeing how most commerce is still done via sea or rails, the Broker's demise may be a lie. You can buy your Made in China trinket online, but it won't reach Junction City if the Port of LA is closed.
@@TheGentlemanGamer lol! It was really quite a coincidence because my wife did remind me we need to get the family's passports updated, then you made this video and I was like Neo in the Matrix "WOOOH!" lol
Hey Matt, Asmongold today made a video titled "How DEI Is Ruining Games.." As someone who's been in the industry for a while, and especially having stuck to a niche within tabletop gaming and being a designer abroad, I was wondering if you could give your thoughts on this. Thanks for all the new content!
@@GamesbyMarcWolff DEI as in "diversity, equity, and inclusion"? I've not performed any studies on the subject so I'm no expert, but my personal experience is the opposite. I've found increased diversity has led to many more interesting voices entering the gaming industry. I've yet to see a negative aspect of seeking to hire people from diverse backgrounds. Some might say "we've lost our trad gaming roots!" or similar, which is a pretty typical reaction to when one's hobby, culture, or job is experiencing a change, but I tend to see such thought as reactionary and ill considered. The trad gaming, to use that example, is still there and still available. Now we just have more choice, and if your product is good, people will want to play it.
@@TheGentlemanGamer Thank you for answering my question, and I think that's a very good answer as well. There's a lot of rhetoric that gets thrown around our hobby and as much as any individual player may or may not agree with something, I always think it's irrelevant because what matters is the game itself. I think that's an incredibly important message that doesn't get boosted enough in today's world. Would love to get more of your thoughts on this in a video, and I'm sure others would appreciate it as well. I think gamers need to push back more on being exploited in these ways for the sensationalism of others. Games are their own sensation and I think we need less muck-raking to help those games shine more.

That's exactly the hope.
A Network grunt, an Archivist, & an Eight-Hands enter a bar.

I want to know the punchline...
@TheGentlemanGamer Idk. I'm no information broker.
Seeing how most commerce is still done via sea or rails, the Broker's demise may be a lie. You can buy your Made in China trinket online, but it won't reach Junction City if the Port of LA is closed.
Or if there are 60% tariffs.
How positively fascinating they sound; so much potential!
So much wicked potential!
I can’t wait to get a copy of the book.
Maybe tomorrow?
I love that the gentleman imerses himself as a character in the universe. I wonder, though, what family is he from?
What indeed?
Awesome 🧙🏾
I try.
That's a horrific necktie!
Bratan!
Needing a passport to get out of an oppressive government? I see what you did there! ;-)
I do not know what on Earth you mean.
Get out. Get out while you can.

As ironic as the wording of that turns out to be - I can't really help that. Reality is fickle sometimes.
