This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Esper had some concerns, after the MM 6E came out he's done.


A lot of people are done now with anything 6E puts out.

Which lore? D&D has undergone numerous retcons over the decades. What are the tourists upset about this time?

The lore doesn't differ that much in the long run dude.  Jettisoning all the lore to serve leftarded dilating idiots doesn't serve anyone but the left in turning D&D into a culturally insignificant after thought.

Sure other people will play D&D but without official VTT support and printed goods, it becomes a backwater like Car Wars or Battletech.

1. I'm a married homeowner with a career and kids. I won life. You can't insult me.

2. I've been deployed to Iraq, so your tough guy act is boring.

He puts out Lore videos on D&D, second to AJ Picket.

That seems to be going around a lot in ttrpgs. I think it's a good thing honestly. These decades old publishers and IPs have insane first mover advantage. They need to die so that new ones can finally enter the market.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything that looks like it could be fun to play.

The fact that WotC shills are removing themselves from the bandwagon is a good sign.

Granted WotC has a lot more own-goals to make in order to lose their massive advantage, but there is a growing undercurrent in the hobby that is not going in WotC's direction, and they ignore it in the long run at their peril...
