Edit: I think people are just riffing about Gygax rather than implying the worship of any person, system, or property lmao.
No, "people" are not ding just that.
Unless for some sort of functional impairment they can't keep track of how the things they say now follow from what they were commenting not even half a page before.
...Really Tuco?
On page 7, Alyssa_Fox says the following:
What makes you think that? I got the feeling they like D&D
Mostly the fact that in the last three years or so they showed nothing but contempt for how D&D works and plays and were constantly on the hunt for ways to "fix" it.
Lol, you are talking like DnD rules are some kind of Hold Scripture that has never been amended or revisioned before.
Which, to be fair, is a ridiculous allegation, but what only Alyssa_Fox can answer to that.
Then, on the same page, Warlocke pretty clearly jokes that:
In the beginning, Gary rolled a D20. This pleased Gary, and it was good.
A ridiculous statement which operates as a comedic riff on Alyssa_Fox's claim.
Then, we have this interaction:
I don’t keep tabs on who says what, so I can’t be positive, but I am pretty sure there is some overlap between people complaining about Larian homebrew rules and people who actively do not like 5th Edition. 😂

Which is more of a metacommentary than a direct claim of any particular worship of any particular system. It is more of a non sequitur than anything else.
Then, Etonbears continues the joke:
In the beginning, Gary rolled a D20. This pleased Gary, and it was good.
Nah, Gary rolled D6 like everyone else at the time. Then he discovered a pack of weird dice for math teachers to explain platonic solids
( That's the story anyway; but it's true that all wargame rules and board/counter rules that I recall from the 1960s/1970s used only D6).
Warlocke then continues upon Etonbears' joke:

Your theory of evolution of dice has contravened upon the written doctrine. This heresy will not go unpunished.
To which I add:
"L + House Arrest + Excommunicated + Ratio"
A Very VERY VERY VERY VERY obvious shitpost.
To all of these blatant jokes, you respond:
Dice in tabletop RPGs peaked with the D100-based systems (two ten-faced dice going from 0 to 9), anyway.
Keep hitting at these strawmen until the skin is peeled away from your knuckles.
Which brings about THE ONLY POSSIBLE RATIONAL RESPONSE TO SUCH AN OVERREACTION TO HUMOR FROM WARLOCKE, ETONBEARS, AND MYSELF:
Keep hitting at these strawmen until the skin is peeled away from your knuckles.
…What the fuck?
😂
