2023 in Review and 2024 Projection
<p>Austin and Gabriel go over the wins, the losses, and the journey of 2023. We then talk about our hopes for 2024. It's a bit meandering, but that's what we do. I'm going to skip the link soup down here for this one. This is it for season 1. That's a wrap. We will be back with new episodes sometime in 2024. Thanks for the good times you nerds.</p>

Advancement, Incentives, and Gatekeepers
<p>Austin and Gabriel discuss a Twitter war over character advancement in this episode. We take stock of how discourse got this way, why vitriolic hyperbole is the worst and how to reclaim our communication spaces. We also discuss character advancement and how they work (or don't) as incentives in our favourite role-playing games. We then dig into Gatekeeping, how it has changed over the years and why, in the end, Luke Gearing was probably right. Just not in the way he thought. <strong>Who is in this episode?</strong> Gabriel Hernandez @watcherdm Austin Holm @austinholmwords <strong>Links:</strong> OnlyCrits (<a href="https://www.onlycrits.com/?sca_ref=2785475.8x5faxPlvq)">https://www.onlycrits.com/?sca_ref=2785475.8x5faxPlvq)</a> WatcherDM Website (<a href="https://watcherdm.com/)">https://watcherdm.com/)</a> <a href="http://itch.io/">Itch.io</a> (<a href="https://watcherdm.itch.io/)">https://watcherdm.itch.io/)</a> DriveThruRPG (<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/19970/WatcherDM?affiliate_id=3112335)">https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/19970/WatcherDM?affiliate_id=3112335)</a> Patreon (<a href="https://patreon.com/watcherdm)">https://patreon.com/watcherdm)</a> </p> <p><br></p>

Spicy Takes and Extreme Adult Content
<p>In this episode, Austin and Gabriel discuss the controversy surrounding the Lamentations of the Flame Princess. They discuss the ins and outs of sexual content in role-playing and how Adults consume media in the modern era. They then tackle Summoning spells in role-playing and propose high-level changes to make it work better in games where it is less good. Finally, they dive into controversy as marketing and what it means to engage in "shock" or "niche" to get eyes on your product in a world of monopolistic powers. Be warned, there are some hot takes in this episode, and it is possible some of what they say may make you angry.
