     Man. I don't want to be "that guy," so I'll bite my tongue (mostly), but I actually hate WotC and think they ruin the hobby and they try to monopolize everything. Please consider supporting independent RPGs.

     My whole life I've wanted to play DND and this Sunday is my first session 0 😻 We're gonna do a mess of one shots.

     I'm so excited. I made a scrapbook for my character, including NPC's & am turning the basement into a tavern/dungeon.

     Thank you for being the example of the toxic traits of the hobby and how rabid people are about Dungeons and Dragons.

     You're a prime example of why people reject WotC and move to independent RPGs, so thank you for doing your shitty part.

     @jeffowski @FranceskaMann Dude, come on, please don't be like that. It's not your business what she wants to play. And you didn't "bite your tongue", you just said you would and then went ahead and policed her choices anyway. Please don't do that.

     For a long time, it was OK to fly the Confederate flag too.

     When do current corporate ethics outweigh the long-past good times you had with Dungeons and Dragons when you were a kid?

     If we, as consumers, vote with our dollars, what does that really say?

     People claimed the Confederate Flag as "Southern Pride" and I'm getting a lot of that feeling from RPG and Fantasy fans when they run and defend Dungeons and Dragons, ignorant of the real history and story.

     Love the fact that people are finding TTRPGs, but Hasbro/WotC has some serious ethical issues and people jumping into Dungeons and Dragons for the first time are suckered in without knowing about these issues beforehand.

     They will need to suffer through the same realization and evolution as every other RPGer out there on this topic.

     It's the 800 pound gorilla in the room on every RPG subject.
