How did you weather (or plan to weather) the onslaught by "true believers" in blockchain technology likely caused by the release of your documentary? From what I've read, the "true believers" don't like being challenged on their core premises and often brook no dissent in their circles.

By the way, have you already posted a link to your documentary on crypto-satire subreddits like r/Buttcoin? I would think the users there would enjoy it.

Did you by any chance look into singleplayer "game books" like American Knights and The Last Battledroid, where the reader could go through a pre-built RPG scenario with a randomly-generated character? I'm looking into those myself but don't know where to start.

Also, does your hobby extend into tabletop wargaming like Warhammer 40k and BattleTech?

Why did you choose to focus Shenmue so much on Chinese culture and Chinese martial art styles? Why not Japanese martial arts instead since it would have been easier to research and make a game about?

Also, there was a devoted Shenmue fan named Rodger Swan who visited Dobuita in 2008, while teaching English in Iwate, Japan, and did some Shenmue-related things such as buy toy capsules and visit an arcade. Sadly, he died in 2010 and won't get to see Shenmue 3. Will Shenmue 3 at least include a mention for Rodger Swan and any other fans of the series who died before they could see the third game in the series?

Here's the video where Rodger Swan "made his dream come true" by visiting Dobuita.

And here's the memorial page set up for his work in Japanese studies, just to provide some more background on him.

Do you keep guns around to deal with unwanted attention (of either the four-legged or two-legged kind)? I imagine you must keep some around for supplementing your food supply with hunting activities.

On that note, what would you do if you found a predator that's from a protected species (and hence illegal to kill) chowing down on your livestock? This has happened to other farmers before, such as this one who dealt with the predator, a protected Canada Lynx, in a very unusual way. Canada Lynx apparently also reside in northern Minnesota too.

I guess I should have included some links:

• The Last Battledroid
• American Knights (this is part of the "Endless Quest" series of gamebooks)

A shame that gamebooks and old game-style book series like Choose Your Own Adventure fell by the wayside once video gaming became mainstream.

You could give BattleTech a try, because that's a game that's miniature-agnostic (you don't actually need miniatures to play the game, just a bunch of counters with a marking showing which of its sides is forwards).

Also, what do you think of the new changes to the background that D&D brought, such as the reluctance to make traditional fantasy monsters "born evil"?
