As a player of CRPGs, I have ample reason to be concerned - for the sake of licensees of the franchise, that is. At the tabletop you have unlimited freedom to engage with the provided material any way you want, and nobody can stop you. Licensees are not awarded this freedom.
That's a fair concern. But just like we have many different RPGs and talented people who create them, so do we have a wide group of game studios with cool and creative ideas. Sure, it would suck to lose a cool license, but great studios will come up with something else. It will be different, but cool nevertheless. Thank you for your insights!
I was thinking about this the other day. I own the 5e sourcebooks so its not like I need to really engage with the brand if it does end up getting sold to Musk. And the best stuff really does come from indie and homebrew TTRPGs anyway.
People who actually care about the hobby will always make so much better stuff than a corporation making cash grabs like the Vecna adventure :) Which one is your favourite indie adventure or game?
If he does - just create a new game under a new name, same rules same races - just change names a little - and leave musk with no users and no game players - he can play it by himself leaving him with an expensive no win. Keep doing it until he gets the point.
saying DnD isnt getting Woke, and saying that with a straight face is astonishing. stevie ray could see its going woke. which is a mute point though. i learned 1st edition but started playing with 2nd edition, also played alot of palladium as well. but, way back right from the begining. and it states this right in the book, the rules arent rules, they are just guidelines that can be followed or not, doesnt matter. WoTC putting in dumb woke shit is just overreach, its unneeded, you make the rules you want.
@DungeonMasterAcademy yes, and I have for thousands of hours over 20 years. We play pathfinder now. It's a make beleive game sure but guidelines are kinda important. Them constantly dropping new materials that we would have to redo entirely for character's is pointless for a good chunk of the ttgrpg playerbase. It's fantastic that you like it but you should also realize that it's a terrible business model. your already paying 10 a month for a blue check on beyond might as well keep that and actually add content everyone can use. The monstrous races are not minorities. Anyone who thinks that can eat a dck. It's okay the drow are bad guys. It's okay orc are violent idiots. Don't retcon 40 years of lore because someone actually racist says orcs are black people.
The whole point of going to University is to print out all your old DnD PDFs in the library.
I mean... You're not wrong.
Truly, maybe the dungeons and dragons were the friends we made along the way 🥹

Anytime someone says the word woke unironically my brain shuts off and jumps out the back of my head
Good luck catching it!
😂😂 I feel for ya.
@@StupidAnon-gn8ih Seriously? You have to be kidding.
Tell that Wizards of the Cost!

Thank you so much for spreading positivity!
Loved the video :) +1 sub
Thank you, really appreciate a nice comment among the other stuff down here =)

That's the spirit, but I don't think it's gonna happen anyway. On the other hand, Twitter...
elon ownership would help overall.
I'm sure he'd help Hasbro as well as he did with Twitter 👍

Aw.. im sorry that he forgot to put a trigger warning at the start🫶
Cool story, bro.
You're terrified of cogent thought.
Sorry, mate. Didn't want to trigger you.
HAHAH - ok muskrat fan, you lot are pathetic.
But if he bought it atleast the new content would be useable. DND could use a refresh from 3.5 the last "good" Version.
Nothing's stopping you from still playing 3.5, that's the thing ;)
The only thing Muskn would introduce are blue checkmarks for 10 bucks anyway.

what about it needs a refresh?
