Excellent points. Sometimes the best games are the ones that have grown over time and have the people designing them listening to the people who play them - not just their little group or the beta testers. The last and next products I purchase have been/will be Paizo Pathfinder. WotC has sort of gone off the rails a bit. I've always heard they've been heavy-handed on the management side(that's never good, never). Losing so much of their talent is quite telling. Bad management does that though

@23penguins32 WotC may pass D&D 5e I hear and sell the line. Interesting no? Attached my shout outs vid on to 50+ WotC, Paizo, Mongoose, Green Ronin, AEG,Wizkids, etc employees today on facebook. I encouraged them to join us on youtube.Couple designers on here such PHB PSA 's director/ Paizo Author Clinton Boomer, or Iuztheevil the lead designer for PF Jason Bulmahn. I'm not sure if they'll discuss crunch and fluff with us but curiosity suggests some will at least watch.

@blackbarnz I'm not sure why Paizo would buy D&D. Name ? But they don't need it. It's sad about WotC. Really. I don't want to see these fails. Oil companies, mobile phone companies...yes. Just heard such bad, evil things about WotC's upper management. Just wrong. Would be nice to see some interaction with the people producing the games. I'm not sure they'd recognize well the game I play due to house rules, but that's not the point :) Would be excellent if they give it a go. Good on ya

@23penguins32 No Paizo wouldn't buy the D&D brand name just simply that WotC may sell it. There's been signs of this. WotC stopped selling miniatures. StarWars miniatures licensed to fantasyflight games and Hasbro IIRC add battle rules to action figs. When WotC changed 3e to 3.5e and 4.0e D&D changes in miniatures games were the 1st sign. D&D 4e no public product release dates past 9/20/11. D&D is all about "Encounters" now. Wow I skipped a whole edition of D&D,a sign!

I couldn't agree with you more. This medium is an excellent way for game designers to get feedback promptly and in an animated and honest fashion. I just hope more designers don't just watch, but also comment!

@clackclickbang I do send community vids to game desiigner's/authors I have contact with but to date have gotten little feedback from them.

@blackbarnz The designers seem to prefer written reviews. They're less lazy than our video rambles.

[23penguins32]

@blackbarnz I know some like D&D 4E. Good for them. In all honestly, I wouldn't play any game or system that did that, based on what that system has been in the past. It's rape of a name, rape of a brand. It's a turd. The public supports that critique.

@blackbarnz I don't know how it works exactly, but after so many subscribers you can apply for YouTube to place ads on your channel and you get a small stipend. Perhaps game companies would do the same to showcase their products, but I don't know about any of that too much either.

@TowerGuardDM If any of us get offered money for doing this, I'd say sure take the cash. Good Point, I do know some youtubers actually do get sent stuff to review by companies for free.
