WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

Funny, I was looking at this book called The Dungeon Masters Guide, not The Planescape Setting Book. Why do you think the DMG should be set in Planescape and nowhere else?

Because it ties the whole edition together.

Then he gets ratioed for it.

Oooof. Ratio'd on the platform you own. You love to see it.

Musk is going berserk today, throwing out red meat to his fans, including COVID conspiracy theories, saying "woke-ism" is a mental disease and getting transphobic. Anything to change the subject, even as his staff bans the biggest accounts sharing the Chapelle video.

Hard to argue, at this point, that he didn't buy Twitter just because he could get people to stop hurting his feelings and make them not slap content warnings on his tweets.

Think of how much therapy he could have gotten instead for his money.

I'm not an insightful person, but I can be proud that I've always despised Elon Musk...

So this is what WotC needs, eh?

I note that there's lots of content that's common in D&D games, like "violence", or "slavery", that many people are very upset about

Are they? It seems like a lot of people are concerned that other people, not in evidence, will be concerned.

"We can't have a revamped Slavers adventure, because there's slavery!"

"Well, yes, they're the bad guys. We will stick swords in those slavers."

"Yes, but we can't have Dark Sun back, because there's slavery in that!"

"We also promise to stick swords in those slavers as well."

"Well, it might be offensive!"

"What, the sticking the swords into slavers part? Who's going to be offended by that?"

"... the slavers?"

A moratorium on slavery would be worth my $8.

D&D can't seem to come up with a backstory without it and they need to leanr so they won't be 50 years old with social training wheels.

It's an American thing probably. Here some things upsetting them are reversed.

Eg imperialism wiped out slavery. Note not justifying imperialism or slavery it's a lot greyer is main point.

But yeah sticking swords in slavers won't upset to many here if you're playing a game where you kill sentients.

A ban on lazy writing in character backgrounds in D&D is going to cost you a lot more than $8, my friend.

Wait until you hear what the microtransaction will be to remove all moody orphaned loners with no social ties from your game.
