I thought you were going to say "...get a job in academia"It is my experience that if you want intrigue, politics, faction conflict etc ...
If this fucker wasn't forcing his students to buy copies of his books for classes he teaches I might look into it harder.
OMG, look at those reviews, though. If those are actual students, wow. Those are amazingly terrible reviews.First rule ofFight ClubSceptics club is, is the original assertion even true? To be the Devils Advocate, are what some of these Students asserting even true?
I see many students have posted 'reviews' of him at Rate my Professor https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1109935
But I still find it hard to believe he would get away with forcing students to leave reviews of his Game Books. I could see making it a 'required textbook' which is ok I guess, though a PDF should be fine these days in the modern digital age. I can't imagine any University Administration that would be ok with an employee of theirs 'forcing' students to write positive reviews of a Instructors book. But hell who knows the truth of it.
I also wonder, reading the negative reviews how much of this is down to the change in culture as a whole and what modern students expect from a Uni level course and how they expect to be treated, vs an older Gen X I assume Instructors expectation of what their course will consist of and require.

and"He forces students to praise him and his poorly written book. The book to which he makes mandatory to have so he makes money off the students he fails"
and"Absolute bonkers individual. Forces you to buy his poorly written RPG books for the class and gets narcissistic injuries when you don't tell him they're amazing works of fiction and god's gift to mankind. Man's head is far up his rump. Only take this professor if you know how to suck up to an oblivious narcissist. Free credits at that point."
"He cares more about the formatting and grammar of the book reviews of his own textbooks (which you must provide a unique receipt for or else you get a 0% on either of his two 40% book review essays."
Definitely worth considering the possibility and part of me wants it all to be made up because his product does seem to be good.But how possible is it, that these might be fake reviews from gamers rather than his actual students?

Plus the way he engages with less than glowing reviews on drivethru is sad.
That's another thing the class reviews say frequently: commenting about his curt/haughty, often one-word, replies to their detailed questions in email, etc.I was wondering that myself, sour 'political' grapes stuff.
I'd forgotten about that, that is his replies on drivethrurpg. Now that I think more about it I emailed him way back about a possibility for a discount to the cost of the revamped Barrowmaze book since I backed his original 2 book version. His reply was haughty and abrupt to say the least.
I do really like his work and the art he uses is top notch old school stuff, but he does seem to have a chip and a big ego on those shoulders.
Perhaps his review of the D&D movie will change your mind?That's another thing the class reviews say frequently: commenting about his curt/haughty, often one-word, replies to their detailed questions in email, etc.
I'm getting more and more convinced, the more I read.

Hehe, reminds me of the movie Demolition Man.I didn't make it past the first few minutes, where he was talking about how Edgin Darvis was feminized because the film showed him knitting or some shit.
Dude was in jail. Ever been to jail? I have. Ain't shit to do.
But, just to take the first few minutes of the video far more seriously than it deserves...
The movie is about -And quite frankly, I fail to see how "Step up to the plate, dads" is any kind of bad message. The knitting, to my mind, could be symbolic of the difficulties faced by a single man who is trying to be a father to a girl.a ne-'er do well who has abdicated his fatherly duties, who overcomes his own selfishness and irresponsibility to become a protector and provider again.
Of course, I could just be pulling this all out of my ass, like Greg did.
