    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    This post? The points highlighted certainly suggests to me that at the very least you think others HAVE called this censorship, and on some level you think this approaches censorship. I apologise if I mispainted you as calling it for censorship - which is why I was asking if you thought it so -...

    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    On some level I agree, but it's only on a technical level. We're kinda crossing wires - and maybe cultures - a bit here. I have generally seen significantly more concern over the actions of governments and generally significantly more powerful private interests when it comes to censorship than...

    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    "Has anyone called the petition itself a call for censorship? Because this keeps coming up and I simply haven't seen it." These, to me, look like people calling the petition / the actions it will lead to censorship, and there were a few others I haven't quoted that felt like they were...

    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    Okay, to be clear, I was talking about a subset of censorship, as defined by the complete technical definition. But people conflate government and private censorship all the time, especially when referring to freedom of expression. And generally, when people talk about censorship, we talk about...

    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    Disclaimer: I support the petition and generally think moves like this, when they generate productive discussion and action, are good. A petition like this isn't censorship even if it was calling to completely remove the original product People, especially random people, asking a private...

    WotC Hasbro's CEO Reports OGL-Related D&D Beyond Cancellations Had Minimal Impact

    The debate is really over whether people should feel bad about continuing to consume WoTC's product after they've done wrong. People want to feel they're morally okay to consume product from a company that's now known to be willing to destroy the ecosystem of the game (players, other developers...

    D&D General Hot Take: Uncertainty Makes D&D Better

    Surely then we should come up with different words to describe the things people are attaching to the word 'swing' then so we can have an actual conversation instead of arguing over definitions pointlessly?

    WotC Backs Down: Original OGL To Be Left Untouched; Whole 5E Rules Released as Creative Commons

    8 months. In two weeks they sold through what they expected to be 8 months of stock of the Core rulebook. They made a Twitter thread to try and point out other places people could access and / or buy the rules, and said they'd get books ready again by mid April.

    Gizmodo: Dungeons & Dragons Has Burned Up All the Goodwill

    People have to remember this wasn't a few creators or people talking about this and discussion wasn't limited to the extremities of Reddit. Publishers, a ton of big and small TTRPG writers and YouTubers, every major and minor TTRPG forum, Discords, etc. talked about this. Unless you are...

    WotC Unveils Draft of New Open Gaming License

    While I think private companies hosting and distributing things should have policies against hate and other awful content (something I have claimed that Valve, for example, does not handle well), etc. - in this case Wizards is not hosting the content or distributing. They're only licensing. And...

    D&D 5E (2024) New leak looks real bad

    Has Linda Codega or a journalist confirmed any of this? Who confirmed this? How accurate have they been? Do we have links to where they state they had their own sources? I'm only catching this up but despite everything, I am skeptical of pretty much anything now. All the major leaks got...

    If You're "Permanently" Boycotting WotC, They're Not Going To Listen To You

    I'm not going to reward them or take interest in their products until they clean the boards and unionise. This latest stunt just made me want to actively tell others not to give them money. I don't care if they don't listen. I want them to significantly change internally, or politely never...
