Taking a risk here, I know you are the "big boss" and can boot at will but I will go for it with best intentions. If you want to try and boil down everything I said into, in my view a disingenuous, and simplistic take of, "white, straight, heterosexual men without disabilities.' must be out of...

Like I said it's death by a trillion cuts... random pick, changing barbarian to hordes... flavor cut. Super minor unto itself but stack that over and over and it adds up. While at it, removing the word savage, bummer... fun word for gaming, now not allowed. So much speak policing, it's just...

I'm glad all the changes over the last 2-3 years and the new game of wotc neo-5e d&d is awesome for you, enjoy of course, that's legit great. Not all changes are negative, that would be a silly position to take. I've personally felt the art has taken a severe nose dive, the lore and flavor...

Actually changing the rules, styles, "flavor" and basically the entire game into some other game almost entirely is not "Including more people in the game", it's changing the whole game to be catered to a different set of people with the least interesting, challenging or imaginative stance...

Yeah, they keep telling themselves that, don't they? It's a little like when you find an amazing restaurant that is a bit unknown but is super interesting, imaginative and seasoned amazingly and then it catches on and is eventually franchised out for the "masses" in order to "continuing growth...

"wotc d&d", death by a trillion cuts... Thank goodness there are so many absolutely amazing alternatives to wotc's neo-5e "d&d".

Thank goodness they aren't going to make modern neo-5e "d&d" abomination versions of Dark Sun and Greyhawk, my personal favorite two D&D settings. Now if they were going to make sincere and respectful updated real D&D 5e (1st few years after launch) versions that would be great, I'd be all in.

You are so wrong (look I can do it too!)... The sequels are total garbage with no redemption, almost no one likes them, stop kidding yourself. The Prequels are at least still Star Wars in spirit, sure PM was old school "made for tv special" level lame but the next two were nowhere near as rotten...

The absolute travesty is back for more, just terrible. SW is almost completely dead to me and I was a total fan since I saw SW in 77 as a 7 year old. The franchise was a big influence for me as a kid and to see it destroyed in a slow moving wreck has been really not fun. Who is this even for...

Haha... I didn't like any of their solo shows so this looks pretty terrible to me, not on my watch list. Wonder how this will perform... have to wait and see.

As the parent of a mixed ethnicity child, my wife and myself being different basic ethnicities, I can totally say it is not racist at all to use the term half, in fact that is how we all describe our son, him included. He is proudly half one thing and half another thing, total reality. Heck I'm...

This still looks embarrassingly bad, no way I'd see this in the theater. Eventually streaming somewhere...

I really enjoyed the first several years of 5e content, I though the arcs and art was good stuff and we played a lot of it. Even did AL at the cons for years! But the last few have been awful in comparison, my opinion only of course. So yeah quality has been a really bummer for me, and the art...

4E was a not great phase for me as well, let's be honest, I can't speak to every publication but overall it was mechanical changes that did us in more than module quality. We had a relatively good time with the Eberron setting despite the 4e rules, although "steampunky" stuff is not my first...

I gotta get back to work but quickly... ;) It's for some people about relational proportions, if the market is x amount then x amount should in theory be represented in the art and content, if this is out of balance then then group x or y, will feel misrepresented. Every group wants to be the...

There has been increasing diversity in the pool of designers while maintaining quality. There might have been increasing diversity in the pool of designers, no issues there, but the quality of products over the last couple years has been the worst I've seen in over 20 years. Totally not saying...

I think you'd be surprised then at the age/ethnicity spend potential breakdown. And yes for sure, for the better we are not siloed like we used to be. My son's friends group is all over the place in ethnicity and they all share the same common interests, the splits are actually more over...

The older "white dudes" that mostly carried the hobby for the last 40+ years are for sure not the future market, but they are still part of it. The younger and that is very wide take, like 40 years of it varying a lot overall is still white males of all ages that spend the money. Now look, my...

I think you might be surprised. But that is not even how it works, say white males are 38% of the market, and the other groups share smaller segments but still don't individually pass 38%. Why in the world would you want to lose market share is your biggest target group? Again this is not an...
