Nerdcognito INFAMOUS Media Group

A frustrated Dungeon Master presented his players (do they play?) with a list of "rules" that were going to be implemented moving forward.  While clearly frustrated with SparkleTroll and otherwise bad player behavior as we dig through his list we have to ask...

This week, our good friend The Dungeon Delver drops in to chew the fat with the gang about the incredible nothingburger that was the Wizards of the Coast "AI art FAQ."  There was a lot of internet noise, but is WotC doing... the right thing?  The boys and Bill dig in deep to this offering insight, perspective, and opinion.  Plus, the news will NOT disappoint!

Hot on the heels of Nerdcognito getting de-platformed on YouTube after an alleged cancel culture report strike -- and the RD having his personal account targeted and wiped as well -- we look at cancel culture in the hobby in general.  Who better to bring in for this discussion but "Grim" James Desborough?  Jim gives his perspective on the hobby and insight into targeted harassment campaigns as both a victim and an observer.  Plus, Jim sits in for the remainder of the show to have some fun with the news!
