Summary
As we come to the close of Season One, we (Anthony and Josh) turn our attention to role-players reaching celebrity status for playing D&D, and look into how that affects the game and culture. What are the positive effects of celebrities in the D&D sphere? What are the negatives for this new occurrence? What effect does it have on old players and new players alike? What challenges do new creators face as they make new content for D&D and slowly grow toward that celebrity status? What does the team at Wizards of the Coast think about this new occurrence, and how are they responding? We begin by discussing our own opinions on the concept of reaching D&D celebrity status, and talk about how we’ve experienced them. Anthony then shares some insights he compiled from Reddit, and we debrief those thoughts as clues to our search. Next, Josh interviews our friend Cameron, the founder of the D&D Coalition, and asked him about the creators he’s helping to curate a community for and how their journeys affect their involvement in the game. To get a perspective from the leaders creating D&D and from a celebrity D&D player herself, Anthony interviews our new friend Kate Welch who speaks into this idea personally, professionally, and profoundly. Finally, we process our findings and share our lessons learned with all of you! Join us as we make our final investigation check for Season One on players reaching celebrity status!
