Two of the more toxic TTRPG fans are
1- The Grognard who belittles any edition, mechanic, or playstyle developed after they finished high school
2- The Newer is Best hipster who insists anything but the latest micro-genre indie game is outdated shit for dinosaurs
They're 2 sides of the same asshole

GM Tip: Players will inevitably use knowledge their characters don't have. When it happens, just ask, "How does your character know that?" Usually they'll self-correct or come up with a reasonable explanation. So be collaborative about it, not adversarial.

Over 2025, Dead Channels produced 44+hours of actual plays and panel audio, plus 200 pages of new DG writing.
Not counting conversion/editing work I did on Tyne's "The New Age," Glancy's "Holy War," and other upcoming republications.
And not counting everything I've done on Red Markets 2E.

GM Tip: Establish clear stakes before big decisions. Players are more engaged when they understand what’s on the line, even if success and failure look different than expected.
