WotC Left Every 5e DM To Drown
from Joethelawyer's Analog Mancave Hosted by Joethelawyer
WotC didn't lose the hobby because of bad dice math or edition creep. They lost it because they treated DMs like a revenue stream instead of the engine that drives D&D forward — and when DMs burned out and walked away, nobody at WotC noticed or cared.In this video I break down exactly how that happened, why it matters, and what we in the OSR are doing about it.If you want to see what's coming next in the D&D game I'm building, my Patreon has all the work-in-progress: patreon.com/Joethelawyer📍 Substack (weekly companion essays): https://analogmancave.substack.com/📍 Discord (community): https://discord.gg/RHxTCq3mzT📍 Podcast (Spotify, Apple, Rumble — all platforms): search “Joethelawyer's Analog Mancave"Channel membership ($0.99/month for early access and members-only updates on the game): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCABv_juND7JHvVbJCjWjhlw/joinOn the channel I cover D&D 5e, OSR, old-school D&D, tabletop RPG advice, classic dungeon design, and what makes great sessions actually feel great.
