Nope the art changed hard! We did a A/B one afternoon it was ridiculous. Not to mention a ton of lore was cut out... not even anything controversial, just gone.

I'm talking like PHB 2014 and Volo/Mordenkainen "legacy"... not exactly ancient history. Yeah I'd much rather have Otus, Elmore, Parkinson, Trampier, Moorcock, Frazetta (scary right?!) Caldwell etc... than what we got today. Yeah, not prob sticking by that. Go ahead hate away... make me some...

The amount of division and spite filled judgement going on "now a days" is a legit bummer. But for real, home game rocks, and there are a few cons that are full of game love that are just amazing. Not ironically wotc d&d is a small part of them... it used to be more for sure.

My crap? What are you talking about? What crap have I given... like in my home games, or at cons? What are you talking about? Holy grail of personal attacks in effect... I don't need to defend myself to you, but your hate is large, and this is what I mean. It's just hate to hate... I want to...

Not much... I was being prodded, baited to respond, fishing.

Yep, I don't like something and I do like other things... ohhhh you got me! Yes the stories and adventures don't interest me and the art doesn't inspire. It used to... but now it doesn't. Yep there it is... every time, people with different tastes and opinions. Oh wait I get it... you are saying...

Quality of content started to deteriorate. The mechanically changes got convoluted and haphazard. and The art got super lame... have you ever compared the "older" Volo and Mordenkainen art vs the replacements, it's so lame and hideous. The whole vibe, just got lamer and lamer. There was less and...

I'm not defending anyone's bad takes... but I am criticizing the manor and intentions of the criticism. They are coming from a place of scorn and hate, far beyond only the words.

Almost every thing, the mechanics, the art, the stories, the quality off content, the pay models, etc.. all of it. Really...

I'm talking about now a days... vs like even 10 years ago. It's gotten awful.

So subtle... look if 6e wotc neo-d&d is your jam, rock it. Love the d&d bashing of everything... enjoy, this is your time to smash away, it's the "in" thing, right?

So much here... I just don't have energy to do the full essay. Look I was onboard wotc and d&d ... we ran a pre 2014 5e test play group, we bought all the content, did AL cons. Fully drank then koolaid... until about 4-6 years ago. Now, it's all division and hate... no sense of comradery. The...

Yeah let's see from 6e on... how it goes. Will be very interesting to say the least.

Nope, just don't like when someone or something is being disingenuously criticized. And I truly believe there is hate and scorn behind this thrashing of the creators of d&d.

Nope, being fair... everyone is subject to criticism but this is not coming from a place of fairness, this coming from a place of mean spirited hate. That's a different take as far as I'm concerned.

They are destroying what the brand was to the core because they don't believe in it, thus they need to try and do it "better". Let's see how that works out for them... in say a couple years or so.

Nope... the only ones projecting are the writers of the negative commentary. The holier than thou approach until their very human dirty laundry spills out one day. Criticism is warranted and fair, mean spirited disingenuous pretentious vitriol is not.

Or they are making a strategic business mistake, can't be... that's never happened before in the gaming industry. Nahh... unheard of.

I agree, Its a bold strategy Cotton, lets see if it pays off for 'em. Last CEO did a stellar job, am I right? Right?

I decided to step away... I think wotc is disingenuous, mean spirited, and generally just awful to the core. They hate D&D so much their only path forward is to destroy it. Let's see how that works out in the long run. Gygax wasn't a perfect deity but the vitriol thrown at him and the other...
