OGLs, Summits, and Pinkertons, oh my! While D&D the game remains fun as ever, WotC are increasingly ruining their reputation with debacle after snafu after scandal. What's a D&D fan to do? Liv and Jeremy discuss the recent WotC Pinkerton incident, how these issues affect their own feelings about playing D&D, and how we engage with work from corrupt organizations and companies.

This week, Liv and Jeremy sit down with Connie Chang to discuss what was, at the the time, the second biggest D&D controversy of the year: the Creator Summit! We talk about how the event was introduced to creators, the pre-event debacle, the event itself, and our feelings in the aftermath.

NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the WotC Pinkerton Scandal, as well as subsequent TTRPG debacles. We plan to discuss the larger issues surrounding all of these controversies in a future episode, as our feelings are still evolving.
