It’s a hypothetical scenario likening a ridiculous situation in the real world to player shenanigans in a fantasy game. Jacob is a d&d focused content creator, and d&d centered memes and skits are a huge part of his schtick and what his community is based around. He has videos encouraging people to check out other similar systems and how cool their different mechanics are, as well. He wasn’t saying to put drones and US dollar bills into your medieval fantasy game, lmao
So let’s use the keyword even if it is meaning less in order to get interest, focus, …
I get that DnD bashing is annoying. I’m tired too. But… could we start to try? Could his person with followers show then that DnD isn’t the Alpha and the Omega?
I mean, it is the alpha. D&d is the root of ttrpg. Didn’t have to be, there were other things that could have been. And it wasn’t the true first stage of that became ttrpg; it was built on other things.
But you gotta be realistic and admit that d&d as a “thing” is the single best known, most successful system out there. It is what it is.
His channel is in the screenshot. As I said in the comment you’re replying to, he has explored other TTRPGs on that channel, you can check it yourself. Personally I think he has a lot of great general GM advice and does a service by making this hobby seem fun and accessible.
Just because someone’s favorite TTRPG is d&d and they make content about it, does not mean they are wronging the broader TTRPG community. If your favorite system doesn’t get enough attention in your opinion, take the initiative to show others why it’s great rather than demanding someone else do it for you. No one is obligated to pander to you specifically.
Personally, I have a huge collection of RPGs and I enjoy a lot of indie titles more than the big names and I like to talk about them when the opportunity arises. Never had to bash anyone else or their favorite game to do it.
So You mean… Shadowrun
(Except its of course Stuffer Shack, and they might actually have some drones in the back)
I don’t get why people keep insisting on putting the D&D label on everything, even when it doesn’t apply at all. There’s so many other games out there

It reads like an intro for a Food Fight indeed.
