Daniel D. Fox is a game designer best known for creating the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay retroclone Zweihänder.
The Shill Among Us[edit]
In 2017 it was rumored (and later confirmed by Daniel himself) that Fox was frequenting /tg/ under various aliases to push his game Zweihander, with threads popping up talking in-depth about its amazing features, how it was better than Warhammer, and how people should go buy it. Weak retorts to criticism and Fox's similar habit of advertising his game across the interwebs, including interjecting it into discussions about other games, made it suspect that he was in fact the sockpuppeteer behind the shilling. He's pretty open about advertising Zweihander and defends the practice as just that, regular advertisement, but even on other websites some people seem to have grown tired of his Robotnik self-promotions.
This paired with him doxing people he doesn't like, being fanatically active in shutting down piracy of the system, and openly spending donated funds to try to shut down some dumb D&D Twitter thing no one cares about because it was "bigoted" (and coincidentally being used by people who criticized Zweihander) has left him with a fairly controversial reputation across the board. Hell, the Zweihander page on this wiki has been blanked and reverted a dozen times at this point (from an IP address located in Fox's hometown), drawing up arguments on if and when one oversteps the bounds of simply promoting a product.
