I'm using flee mortals for my current campaign wherever possible, I have a werewolf quest planned, which isn't in FM. Though I might pivot to a basilisk hunt.

Their plan is twofold, firstly they are in service to a lich tried to take over the multiverse and got Strahd'd into a domain of dread and wants out. They sacrifice souls to him. Secondly, they're necromancers and are trying to create an army of undead for him to lead when he gets back to the material plane. The players aren't aware of this yet but I'm trying to put that information in front of them
This has been happening for years. Shadow of war (2017) had orcs in loot boxes, every assassin's creed since, and including, black flag (2013) has had microtransactions in some form, odyssey (the last one I've personally played) had a rotating cash shop in every city. I know it's another Ubisoft game but farcry 5 had cosmetic microtransactions in a game that is permanently in first person. You could only see your outfit on the change outfit screen. This comment isn't meant to come across as antagonistic but I do find it strange to be warning about a slippery slope when we've all been riding the toboggan for years.
They have their branding which will push people to use their platform. More people using their platform = more content coming from threads. Once they have enough posts from threads that people from other instances are used to seeing mostly threads content they'll defederate. People will miss the volume of posts and then move to threads.
Just don't do that lol, let them do wacky hijinks, or play a system without the wacky hijinks
I had a grudge against lego pirates of the caribbean because on the Xbox 360 there was an achievement for completing the first level worth 12g, offsetting my gamerscore until I got the paired achievement worth 88g
My wife plays a tempest cleric in my 5e game, every single outdoor battle starts with her asking about the weather, then upcasting call lightning, using her channel divinity to max out the damage and just melting everything in sight
I know a handful of people who thought it looked like an impending disaster and gave it a wishlist so they could see the early negative reviews pour in

There's a ton of really useful stuff on this page and some links that are worth a read, especially Monte Cooks' consent in gaming pdf
You should try the item piles module for foundry if you haven't checked it out yet, it shows you in the chat if they're taking items and gold and you don't have to finagle around with manually giving them items
I don't want to make a "lifetime commitment" to a game, I've already tried that with my ex-wife.
The only actual play I've ever actually found myself enjoying is oxventure, they're not the best example of a proper actual play though since they usually don't follow the rules too closely and are more of a fantasy improv group vaguely using 5e rules, sometimes blades in the dark or SWADE Deadlands.
Although I've only started listening fairly recently and haven't gotten up to the Deadlands stuff yet.
