This videos is wayy more interesting than a Star Wars videos mainly because I’m honesty sick and tired of the Star Wars toxicity in the fandom and just “cancel culture” tbh
don't bite into WE WUZ KANGS meme, Egyptian historians themselves sued Netflix for calling them black
@@leandrobenitez292that meme is racist💀 it literally is
I can't believe the audacity of them to go so hard on the virtue signaling to step on the graves of the people that made this IP. Honestly screw 1 DND I'm only going to stick to 5e and earlier.
One of the best videos about D&D early days is the "Daddy Rolled a 1" channel. He did a couple of the early editions and early characters that go into detail that's worth a watch, but this one is possibly most relevant: Gygax writing about the origins in Dragon magazine. ruclips.net/video/etZ0IkQNJ30/видео.html
They keep saying "White men" in a derogatory way, yet going around pretending not to be sexist and racist. What a bunch of distinguished people we have here.
Back in those days America (and pretty much all the West) was vastly majority white. No wonder it was made for white men, by white men. Its still mostly white, but far less today and the media has a very rose-tinted view of demographics to promote every other ethnicity. The racists are them.
It’s cause these people are the type that think you can’t be racist towards white people and sexist towards men
the -ist suffix is probs the most used suffix these days
Why do you think they try to hide it by using the word cis?
The race hustle still makes these charlatans a ton of money. And they won't want that to go away!
"The game was made by racists, now give us money you racists" - lizards of the coast

"D&D teaches us diversity is a strength". B.S . D&D teaches TEAMWORK and PLANNING is a strength, regardless of diversity. Thats what it taught back in the 70's. I know, I was there.
That's what it teaches today as well. It only teaches diversity, if you don't actually play it and instead have an agenda to uphold.
made me think of "Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written."
Diversity without purpose is like disney reboot 😂
HA! old, srsly tho. People will attach all the overly complicated meaning on an acorn just for the sake of having it purposeful and meaningful when in reality it just a fun game.
@marcdeluna8674 many things are meaningless until a person gives meaning to it but anyone who wants to claim diversity is a strength as meaning from anything is either corrupt or simple minded cause that phrase no longer means what it once did.

There is no 'modern audience'. It's a made up concept that exists entirely in the deranged mind of the activist.

Has his head stomped in by a woman laughing. It’s fucking disgusting.
I can only imagine what Gary Gygax would say if he saw what Hasbro/WOTC has done to DnD. Also let's never forget Hasbro/WOTC sent The Pinkertons after a fan for having unreleased cards to his house.
He would be ashamed & horrified
Why Hasbro bought WotC in the first place?
Because they weren't like this before. The woke infiltrated wotc.@@JohnGoeagle-ob6iy
Yeah, I've read some of Gary's articles in early Dragon magazines. It seems the guy was very opinionated and definitely wouldn't hold his punches. But in the end I think it's better than he doesn't have to see what has become of his invention (same goes for Dave Arneson).
Just remember there is a 2nd Amendment for a reason. If Pinkertons show up and threaten your life, pink mist is what will become of them.
The Lords of D&D have perished. But in their absence a score of talentless clowns usurped their throne.
Chaos has been sewn by their passing... So sayeth the wise Alaundo.
But in truth. The new Lords of D&D learn about talent to make new fantasy board games, and the great change.
And the prophecy was about times, if creators of DnD failed their mission in preserving game as is. Too bad, and Bhaalspawn had to die for us to reach this point.
I have not played the first BG in a decade and yet I heard that entirely in the guy in Candlekeep’s voice.

I'm a Messianic Jew, and I play D&D with an Arab guy from Saudi Arabia. We both love the same kinds of stories. Our characters do things like eating pork, even though neither of us eat pork in real life. Neither of us find that offensive, because it's the character living in a fantasy world.
Same for me been playing D&D all my life and it is just fun to have my character do think I would never do in real life. It's pure escapism (something that harder to find now a days)

It does not need to be saved, just keep the old books and lore and ignore the new stuff, and let the grand wizards of the woke go broke. Then maybe the franchise can be restored by people who actually care to honor and respect it.
"Slanderous" was the right word. This attempt at revisionism is the worst type of gaslighting, making Kuntz defend himself against intentionally specious attacks, where the act of creating any defense makes it look like a defense was necessary in the first place.

Making d&d inclusive is like saying air isn’t for everyone.
It’s an rpg where you make whatever you want.
D&D is already the most inclusive thing ever.
These people are ridiculous.

Ironicly, that's the most racist observation of all: it's saying that White cultures aren't distinct, they are the *baseline,* that is, that White Culture is "culture," and everything else is some optional add-on.
@@buzzsawkhan Exactly white culture is western culture.... They are all living in it.
@@buzzsawkhan and yet they also keep adapting those stories, superimposing the traits of other groups into them, to make it more representative of a broad audience, simultaneously implying their cultures didn't have enough substance to just make something completely new with that as its focus lol.

No, DnD can’t be saved. I’ve got enough 5e books and they got increasingly woke as they went on. A Dragonlance campaign with no mention of Raislin, Carmen, Tanis, etc? Nope, got to replace them with a diverse group of nobodies riding their coattails then burying their existence. WoC won’t see another dime from me.
Raistlin, the character that every skinny nerd could identify with the most, back in the day.
Wasn't Raistlin a legendary black-robed mage living in an infamous tower with a type of cursed courtyard area, had a really bad cough, golden skin and strange eyes and was one of the most powerful mages his world ever knew despite his seemingly ill existence?
@@Shalltear773 Yes, he started out red robed, his brother was strong, kind, charismatic and good natured, and he grew up in his shadow due to being ill from birth.

As someone who grew up as a biracial kid and played my first DND game when I was 14 years old. I love the old Gary Gygax stuff. I am baffled and horrified to see how they are interpreting the early DND material.

Great thing about dnd, house rules always win. Internet is also full of PDF's you can get of the books. Just because the manual says that orcs are exactly the same as Elves, or you get a +2 non binary bonus, doesn't mean you as dungeon master have to allow it.
The great thing about DnD is that it has a large degree of flexibility in the storytelling and gameplay. When we play we don't have to acknowledge any changes that Wizards of the coast make to it and can continue to play it the way we always have. Just don't bother buying any of their new books and use the stuff you like that the fanbase makes and support those individuals. If the woke stuff doesn't sell they won't be able to afford to keep making it and it will go away. This is how companies work. We shackle them with the almighty dollar.
Man they hate that you have to fight Vishnu. I wonder what they think about the SMT franchise where you collect demons and gods as pokemons.

Vishnu has a stat block. Zeus has a stat block. Thor has a stat block. Everyone has a stat block in case a dungeon master wants a balanced way of using them in their campaign. Granted, there's a murderhobo saying "if it has a stat block, I can kill it" and that is an individual thing.
But Lord Vishnu is still worshipped by a large number of people, but thor and zeus are not, so even if they want to keep him as a Character, he should have no stat block and be a power akin to Aio Or higher or best of all be a substitute name for the DM.
@@SamarthSharma-rm3wi Or just make your own gods.
@@SamarthSharma-rm3wi To be fair, I’m pretty sure Jesus has a stat block and he’s the most worshipped god on the planet. The thing about D&D as well as most table top RPGs is that the DM is supposed to be above a god, an unknowable force that controls all and sees all.
@@nokh3382 then he should not have a status block either. I understand the endimon's argument about the game characters and religious figure being different but it still does not sit well with me . They should not use any religious figure. If they want the likeness of Hindu gods they can just make a six armed diety but name him something else and differentiate him somewhat from Lord Vishnu.( This also applies to any religious figure.)
The cool part about dnd is that yiu can just bend the rules a little for tour own campaigns and make your own stats for more scripted encounters.

did woc ever consider that in a medieval fantasy setting, racism and slavery would absolutely become prevalent, you can and should find it deplorable with modern morality, but it adds life to a world with deep intrinsic flaws, most dnd campaigns has truly evil people or monsters to defeat and having those characters hold values and commit acts which we fundamentally disagree with gives us a reason to rage against tyranny, a world that perfectly reflects progressive values only works when its a facade used by a bbeg to control a populace, or in a chaotic evil campaign where the goal is to tear down society, anything else is boring and suffocating because theres no depth or real issue to solve.
As a 22 year old, I don’t feel responsible, but I do feel betrayed by others that are my age. Wokeness feels more about putting others down than picking others up.

Why stop there? Make her be able to summon giant mechs and be the only one able to use guns and pilot those giant mechs. They already broke Tolkien's world.

I don’t know why people are still shocked I’ve been saying this forever when they went after Lovecraft said he was evil racist but then took his work to make money off it while calling him a bigot he’s evil anyway we took his stuff give me money
Authoritarian Censorship, How to describe it, "Like a Parrot who came in uninvited, scaring children, making a mess of everything, and keeping my neighbors awake. It overstayed its welcome, and needs to get out of my house!" I seriously think they're not going to be happy until they get a gag order.
I cant wait for the mind virus to die out. The fact theyre publishing what is effectively a history tome about a game, but have to put a disclaimer on it, proves theyve lost their minds and have no respect for the intelligence of their audience.
These people are the absolute worst!
It’s so disrespectful it’s crazy

I've Turned to Creators and DM's Like MrRhexx, Dungeon Dad and other Manual and Content Creators who are kickstarting other Campaigns are Reviving D&D or even funding out of pocket their own 6e D&D moduels.
0:54 The 50th DnD anniversary book is WotC's Mein Kampf.
they be struggling alright
no offence but baldurs gate 3 realy is the most over-rated game out there i cant think of a game that was getting more praises from a game that clearly wasnt it / good / great at all
not the worse game ive seen but the most over-rated for sure
and baldurs gate was getting killed off by woke back with BGEE SoD and such sooo
"Don't portray people killing deities!" Smite just chillin in the corner XD
Sombody should tell them about Shin Megami Tensei, thet would really blkw thwir minds.
You not only have the chance to give YHVAand/or Lucifer the middle finger, you get to partner up with various deiries from multiple pantheons..you also fught them, too.
meanwhile the future installments of god of war just chillin
I always smile at fact that DnD is more of framework for stories, so whatever Wizards of the Coast will enforce doesn't really matter... their universum is pretty much out of control of their hands and if they continue... it's not hard to copy DnD and make world of your own.
Wizards of the Coast don't hold any rights to races or medieval fantasy genre as it is so I wouldn't worry about it. All franchises clearly need to rot out for fresh and uncorrupt breath to come in.
The only thing that will speak to the company is if we don't buy the game, but 90% of gamers don't care about game politics or never seen it to begin with. So long as the people fighting back against these companies are such a minority they won't change.
Well there's that, plus BlackRock's ESG fund ensures that leftist companies never lose money. There's no such thing as "get woke, go broke."
WotC is really gonna freak out when they learn about the Shin Megami Tensei series.
they will go broke before that
Baldur's Gate 3 was an amazing game. Woke Lunatics had to ruin everything.
It was the rare game that catered to all and actually pulled it off, a unicorn of a game
The game is still popular besides where is the news coming from is it coming from that white dude that used to work at blizzard but is now making very racist and bad takes and fake news
Body Type A. Body Type B
@@FrejthKing can look over that if a game is still good. Elden Ring is a prime example of this.
@@CommanderRedEXEI love Elden ring but to be honest it’s overrated
When you get down to it, the original creators of D&D are being derided for having a genuine if misguided appreciation of other cultures and mythologies instead of having the money to hire a host of consultancy groups and sensitivity readers. Classism at its finest.
I wouldn't say misguided given the point wasn't to 100% accurate. It was to having interesting things where you go "Hey I know that thing" or "I've seen something about that before" and not to recreate the real world.
@TrackMediaOnly aye, it was difficult to think of which word to use there to describe, like they wouldn't have had first hand knowledge of the cultures they were reflecting in games.
Started developing my own revolutionary ttrpg system.. intuitive, math/rules light. Imagine like Fallout 1 & 2 games, where you grasp the system in 5 mins..

@@Kangorrilla It doesn't just include same sex relationships, it tries to force them on the player. There's more same sex couples than straight ones. Also the furry stuff.

@@Kangorrilla did you play without sound and with your eyes closed?

Oh yeah, only there you can be cancelled by your people (Lae’Zel) and the racism from everyone else to the fullest (any Drow). Totally woke
@@bulbigood6558 in bg2 people literally try to burn a drow on the stake, so no, someone say "ugh you are a drow" isnt racism to the fullest

18:58 Welp, somebodys gotta break the bad news to drinker
I gave up on DnD, and went on to Savage Worlds and Traveller. The only way I can ever give DnD a shot again, is if WoTC goes bankrupt and the IP gets purchased by someone not connected to this mess in any way. Maybe then there will be hope
Woke is not little more than brainrot, it's practically nothing more than brainrot.
We let soft, weak, millenials into our hobby because we were criticized for "gatekeeping" them. Since we didn't gatekeep, this is what happens. You MUST gatekeep hobbies. Always.

Like I said before: These people act like everyone and everything should adhere to their personal "moral" code.
And it's the same people that abolished the alignment scale because "good" and "evil" were too confining.

@@GodwynDi its like netral never existed
Can't ruin its legacy lmao larian made the game, they just used an IP to do it. Game was made and finished. The next game they make is gonna be great and people will play it too, forgetting all about dnd.
They put that same disclaimer bullshit on the old school Tom and Jerry bluray I bought. Yes, I bought it... on disc. Lol
Plus Gary Gygax was a Christian, so he gets extra negative modifiers to his DEI stats.
Not only a Christian, Gygax was a JW for a long time.
The killing gods part is kind of a weak argument. Greek and Nordic mythologies are… mythologies. Maybe in 3000 years from now, Islam and Christianity will be studied as ancient mythologies. The problem arises where you have a very significant amount of people who still follow Hinduism. I guarantee people would be pissed off about a game where you killed Jesus in some fantastical setting. Nobody cares about Odin being fought because he isn’t a religious figure to any significant amount of people, not even Nordic people. Same with the Greek gods because 81% of Greeks are Christians, while 14% are atheists and the other 5% are whatever else.
Same goes for Egyptian gods actually, most of them are Muslim.
I think this guy actually just doesn't understand the difference, but I don't expect too much nuance or intellectual discussion from rage bait youtubers.
No its fantasy popular show supernatural is literally based off killing god
Family guy Jesus is a drunk bastard
Its all for the content not to be taken serious most sane people understand that
Agreed, it was a bad argument. The right thing to say would be this: progressive activists usually wouldn't bat an eye if it was Jesus being depicted here. As they don't bat when we have a bunch of demon (clearly based on judeo-Christian representations of said beings) spawn as player characters now, or things like the "hellfire club" inside our culture, or so much other hellish stuff in the game, things that ARE offensive to real Christians around the world. If you complain, you are being whiny. But do the same thing with non-christian religions? Oh, the sea of tears is endless.
@@ylfaer id think you’d be arguing in bad faith, similar to the Christians who complained about Harry Potter. I’m sure there’s room for nuance within you to tell the difference between a high fantasy setting that has characters based off of demons… which isn’t a solely Christian thing, and these are very much pop culture demons rather than how demons are truly depicted in Judeo-Christian works. Notably the Bible with them not even having a physical form. And less canonical sources like the testament of Solomon as he gives descriptions of the demons he forces to build his temple.
This is quite different than the way any religious text describes them as. And very different than “in this game we have to kill Jesus”
The only thing these in game demons share with the Bible is that they are also called demons. They function completely differently, they look completely differently, and they exist in a fantasy world with an entirely different context because this is not a judeo-Christian demon.
So I guess we won't be getting that Minsc origin as post-release content, then...
Dunno bout Larian, this is about wizards & the creators of dnd
Oldschool AD&D DM here. I've rejected all D&D products made since WotC bought it. I knew what was coming.
I'm glad Robert spoke up about this book. Shame that those at Wizards are so bent on destroying the legacy that these men created.
The disclaimer is fucking disgusting
Baldurs Gate is genuinely one of the most shallow popular games I’ve seen in years. They literally relied on p0rn-addicts and constantly pushing the sex scenes for its success and it attracted an expectedly deranged fanbase.
Dude, that's complete bullshit. The game's a masterpiece
You obviously didn't play the game.
Lmao, how many intimate scenes you have in whole game? 3-4? For maybe 100-200 hours of gameplay.
Why are we pretending Larian Studios of BG3 werent woke lunatics to begin with?
if they are, well, then it atleast doesn't destroy what they set out to create
Bg3 is a good translation of DnD into videogame form.... but it’s still the equivalent of playing DnD with the trans kid that only makes Teifling sorceress characters and gives them stripper names
I never noticed personally, BG3 never once felt woke to me
Cognitive Dissonance after all the glazing
The female companions in the game are all brute warriors with seemingly aggressive personalities, and the male companions all seem gay. That's all I needed to know to decide not to buy it. Not like I had any interest in DnD to begin with, but BG3 definitely didn't convince me to try it.
Like most things, there are multiple reasons why things happen, not just one uber-simple explanation.
As an old TTRPG player who played with black people in the late 70s, here are the real reasons why they didn't play much D&D:
1) Less exposure: fantasy movies weren't mainstream, there was almost no anime, no internet, barely any videogames, and the only people interested in playing "fantasy" were people who actively read fantasy novels (which had just started to grow in popularity). While some black men got exposed to gaming in the military, fewer black people were going to college, which was the other place RPGs spread by word of mouth. Black people didn't grow up with fantasy, so they weren't interested in playing a game that simulated fantasy.
2) Smaller demographic: Black people are only 10% of the US population, and in the places the games started (Wisconsin/Minnesota), they are even smaller minorities. They made up even less of the player base. Once the game spread to the coasts, you started to see some people get into it, but it was still a smaller number. Good luck being a black teen looking for other black teens to play the weird "elf" game with...
3) Cultural disinterest: Per #1, black people didn't like Fantasy very much. They liked music, movies, comedy and sports (guys played a lot of sports). If you're a black male teen, you played basketball to socialize with your friends, get fit, and impress girls (being cool was a higher priority culturally, than being a scrawny fantasy nerd). Most hardcore black boardgamers played things like Chess, not esoteric wargames.
4) It wasn't cool: fantasy and nerd chic culture didn't exist. It was stigmatized, and you got bullied for it. Often, people kept their interest secret to avoid this.
5) Religion: black people were much more religious (esp. Baptist or Pentecostal) and there was a Satanic Panic going on -- D&D was considered evil by fundamentalists, and it was harder for black kids to participate without getting discriminated against -- by other black people.
6) Cost: game books cost about the same back then: adjusted for inflation, $150 for 3 game books, extra for dice, and other accessories, plus you had to find other people who were into playing. Black teens from less well off families had a harder time affording the game. If you asked your mom for books for Christmas, she'd shake her head, and give you baseball or basketball equipment, and tell you to go outside and play a big group game with your friends that only required a free playground and one ball. Maybe they'd invest in football equipment, to help get a sports scholarship for college. Not D&D books -- no way.
Of course, you could just chalk it all up to Wh*te S*premacy.
The only silver lining to this book is that its so damn overt in all of this that it helps me feel a bit less like a hermit conspiracy theorist the last few years. The worst part is I dont think WOTC believes in any of what they are doing at all beyond a bottom line and social media interactions. Its not out of genuine concern. Yes they hire fanatics in a valut tech esq way but at the top WOTC is an ultra predatory corporation and has been since they got Magic Money. What has hurt the most is being in communities with Gary's kids, old TSR artists and Dragon staff etc. They are people who I talk with about AD&D weekly along with the rest of our 1st ed community. They are hurting and it's apparent. The heroes of my childhood so to speak, who led me to my career and who made a game that literally saved my life years ago. When I was young, playing AD&D was a thing you kept secret, it was the place where all the misc social group kids found a place. We didn't need to agree politically, we didn't have to be friends really, we didn't even have to really like you. If you played and kept to the table rules you were welcome at the table no questions asked. You were one of us and nothing else mattered. Even if we had nothing to do with each other in real life, we had each others backs at the table or out in the world. Anyone was welcome at the table and it was a bond we all shared that carried through. Its disingenuous of wotc to play this tactic at all, and their point of view is certainly making the community smaller and more polarized by the day, it's not bringing more people to the table. Instead of the old guard passing on the torch to the new generation and finding common ground in the game we all love, they have split the game entirely with the older players keeping to themselves and from this book etc. its now pretty damn clear its because we don't have a place in the modern game at all. They don't want to discuss points of view, they don't want our money, they just want anyone who remembers how this all really was and how WOTC got where they are now. I think saying they want to erase the reality of the history of D&D certainly is true and they want us players to be erased too. They are also cowards and unwilling to allow any counterpoint at all so have set it up that any criticism of mechanics or content will instantly set off Trevor's Axiom of Trolling with B chiming in an inflammatory way to get guy C to defend guy A, which gets guys D-Z to hop on too. There will never be a constructive discussion about the game itself in these situations but it sure does magnify the reach of their marketing. its all just heartbreaking to be honest.
God i hope not. BG3 was woke slop. The only "straight" guy was krooked as hell. Have to dance around words because youtube seems to ban comments for no reason nowadays. The series can stay in the shadows.
BG1 & 2 are still superior in story, massive world building and so on. Aside the weird character creation of BG3, it was felt small imo. Just a few zones, which in turn were made very large, which I found annoying. Yes, it all looked pretty, but it wasn't BG2 or other Bioware titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age were.
To be fair, BG3 is not very good overall. It had a few good quests and features, but it had a whole lot of woke in it and the third chapter is a rushed mess. It's like a 5/10 at best but it seems like an 8 because we're so starved for that kind of game.
