I posted a video about Wizards of the Coast tonight. I deliberately didn't include your names, because I never want to even imply my supporters agree with me when I do these (rare) opinion videos.

I figured it would be nice to have a space where you all could reply and have a conversation separate from the rest of YouTube, if you were so inclined.

I commented on the video on YouTube, but I completely agree. I have resolved not to give money to people who hate me.

While I fully agree with what you say, my players love the 5th edition game and will follow Wotc into 5.5. We do play both a first and 5th edition game but they are not willing to abandon 5th, so im stuck.

It's all....discouraging. But even worse, distracting. Distracting from the game into which I've devoted countless hours, and for the most part been repaid tenfold in gratification. Gratification that comes from playing characters I love in my friends worlds, and from creating the same opportunity for my players to immerse themselves in my world. Nothing in current events will change that. It is a part of me that cannot be undermined by anything or anyone. Or any corporation. Personally, I don't care what HasbroCorp does anymore. I haven't since I finally caved under the pure weight and no-more-imagination-it-is-all-rules-now, of 3.5 and went running back to 1st Ed. I have so much more stocked up than I will ever need to play this game until I die. It's the young and new players that I feel for. They may never know what the game should truly feel like. It's just a board/video game now. I have no problem with the the current owners of the game wanting to be inclusive and diverse. It's always been a part of D&D. They just have no idea how to do it. Their approach is you can't be "inclusive" if you don't burn down and vilify history. Dumb, dumb, dumb. All they ever had to do was not purposefully exclude people. The game itself takes care of the rest.

Salut Jo, J'espère que la traduction automatique fonctionne. J'ai pris la même décision que toi quand l'affaire OGL a explosé. Le D&D que Hasbro publie me dégoûte et, comme dit dans un autre commentaire, j'ai assez de modules ou de cadres de campagne pour pouvoir encore jouer pendant des décennies. Il existe assez d'autres jeux proches pour que je me passe de quelque production qu'ils puissent encore publier. Le principal reste que les dés roulent encore sur la table et que nos fumbles soient autant de source de fous rires. J'ai dit !

I had already stopped buying WotC products and encouraged others to do the same. It seems that, overall, Hasbro/WotC are far more interested in being popular among a vocal minority than appealing to the broader audience they once enjoyed.
