WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

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.

We also promise to stick swords in all the imperialists.

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?"

Again, it's someone saying that other people, somewhere, are probably offended by it.

And that such offense should be treated as Very Serious Business.

Slavery may be overused but much like Nazis it's clearly evil to most reasonable people.

And Nazism doesn't make much sense in a fantasy game.

So it's slavery wins.

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.

I'll have Steven King say it's too high to get it back down to $8.

Much like SA, it's something the game should try to keep in its pants.

Conflict makes for good stories hence why it's used.

Urg.

Again, this is just like my writing forum.

"Conflict is the core of story, so let's immediately jump to the worst possible things to shove in people's faces!"

Scale of stakes! Audience! Self control! Treating serious subjects with a modicum of care! Why is this a language no longer spoken by writers?!

I bet King is a great DM. And there's no way he's never played D&D.
