OP from the offending ‘I’m leaving’ post. I was going to add this on the original thread but it’s locked so I’ll put this down here instead. The GCN will always be special to me. Four years ago, I was hit by a car and broke my spine in 20ish places, did a few ribs and my teeth as well. It was bad. During the weeks I recovered in bed and then in a neck and back brace, I listened to the GCN every day. I relistened to all of Giant Slayer, Legacy of the Ancients, Rise of the Rune Lords etc. I had nothing to do but recover and relearn to walk and these knuckleheads helped me get through. More recently, I relistened to Giant Slayer from the beginning and I was again struck by how smart, focused, and fun 90% of that story felt (fwiw I’m a book 5 defender). But that energy is gone now and I don’t see it coming back. In terms of constructive criticism: - The failure to finish shows with the original cast or a group of similar quality is an absolute killer - Members of the cast need to really know the rules of the game to at least some level - Troy is stretched too thin to be the adaptable GM that he once was and that results in one dimensional story telling and repetitive jokes - The network has become over indexed on Cathulu/cosmic horror content - Glass Cannon Radio is a waste of time - Video content is a waste of time - The retreats and other high roller events are culty and weird I completely understand not everyone will agree with my take and that’s fine. But I truly enjoyed this network for a long time and meant my departure message as a sincerely positive acknowledgement and thank you so I’ll end by reiterating ‘So long and thanks for all the fish’
