So I'm a very conservative Christian who has run D&D games for 41 years, and I do not like the woke direction that WotC is taking the game into. The main reason isn't because I have some deep seated passionate hatred for SJWs or the woke crowd, but rather because it's in my face everywhere I...

Yeah, I had a hard time understanding this too.

I have two screens I use, with with an online game. I almost never reference the material printed on the screens and I think the only reason I set them up is because I've run games for 41 years and just associate it with being the DM. That is a poor reason. I should probably dump them since I...

There was a setting called Midnight, third party FFG I think. I have it on my shelf. Another setting where evil won, probably the darkest campain setting I've ever seen. I picked up most of the books for it because I thought they did a really good job with it, but I've not ever had a group who I...

Please see PM.

Steel toed even.

Actually I think 5e is the best version of D&D ever made bar none. I do not however like the way WotC is following the woke crowed on silly topics such as this, but I realize at this point that it's inevitable. I just opt out.

Regarding the topic being old and well worn, the very first line I wrote in the OP asked if anyone had links to a previous discussion to avoid this being a trolling post. The fact that it has turned into a 9 page thread suggests to me that yeah, people do want to talk about it, but I think you...

Maybe, the things that I object to have to do with the company bowing before the woke culture. I realize that the vast majority of younger folks will think me wrong to feel that way, however I'm a very conservative fellow and I recognize that the conservative mindset is in the minority of the...

The thread became long, so I don't blame you if you missed it earlier because I did address this. The OP was an impulse, and as I thought about it I also realized this and pointed it out, however the thread had taken on a life of its own by then.

This strikes me as a false equivalency. The core rule books are the core books and are needed to play, beyond those you don't like the FR setting you can also choose not to buy the books just as easily as you can chose not to buy any other setting (I can offer myself as an example, I will not...

Well there is no normal on these matters, every family has its expectations and rules. If you live under my roof you attend church, thats not negotiable. I've never heard of this particular ritual before, but it probably isn't unique.

Never. Not a single time, but let's define forced. Were you sat down in front of the TV and told not to move until it was over and punished if you did? What does forced in this context mean? Sure my parents and grandparents had their favorite shows, and they watched what they wanted to watch. I...

Get out of my head!

You aren't wrong, but then again these things can be easily reconciled with a little judicious creativity on WotC part.
