Except that Gandalf was wise enough to never use the ring, so it's only a hypothesis, not an integral part of the character's identity. While I agree that authors come up with more background details than they are able to fit into their books, don't you at least think that it's a bit lazy? "I'm...

Just found the changelog on D&D Beyond and compared it to my printed copies of CoS and ToA. It was quite underwhelming to be honest. Still, seeing the changes that were made accentuates the number of times Vistani were described as being drunk. Ah, I didn't realise that translations are mostly...

Well, OP never stated the nationality of his friends. AFAIK, translations are done by GaleForce Nine.

Exactly! If one accuses people who oppose female Space Marines of racism, they should be prepared to allow male Slayers. Turning existing lore upside down for inclusiveness is weak. Look at Rowling. Posting on Twitter that Dumbledore was gay, instead of actually writing the character as gay? I...

Representing the Vistani in a non-offensive way in future products isn't the same as removing all previous products that featured Vistani.

This point has already been adressed a couple of times in this thread. No one has the right to decide that OA is bad, but Al-Qadim isn't, provided that both are offensive to a certain segment of the population. Exactly. I applaud WotC's statement that Curse of Strahd's insensitive elements will...

After being pestered into removing it, through Twitter? Hardly 'on their own accord'.

As Voadam stated: there's a difference between pulling a product because it actually costs the publisher money to keep it in print, or pulling it because someone somewhere takes offence to it.

You're saying that book burning isn't the same as removing a book from an online distribution system. That's where you're wrong. By doing so you are limiting the public's access to a book, deciding what we can and can not read.

You have clearly never heard of an argumentum ad Hitlerum.

I refer to post #42 (the answer to life, the universe and everything) by Snarf Zagyg. Who has the authority (and on what grounds) to decide which books/movies/series/... are allowed to remain and which should be removed/banned. Even if the books we keep are just as questionable as the books that...

Since I started out defending Branimir, I have to admit that, with the letter originally being posted in that specific subreddit, I see its content in a different light now.

Now there's an idea for a multi-video Youtube series! 'Druids Read... AD&D Moonshae'

That one was thrown around alot in reply to Kwan's tweets.

To be honest, it doesn't. I watched Christopher Robin yesterday, and the quote's still stuck in my head.

What's wrong with WotC doing a sourcebook in the style of Islands of Sina Una?

Well, if one were to believe A.A. Milne: doing nothing often leads to the very best of something.

I suppose it's easier to whine about a 35 year old book for 26 hours straight and how WotC is still profiting from it (seriously?! How many people are still playing 1e?) instead of, I don't know, giving WotC a list of suggestions with which to create a non-offensive 5e successor.

13 Youtube videos totalling 26 hours of view time should suffice.

Or you could look at it positively. Horus Heresy novel 28 - Scars: "Malcador smiled. 'You brothers - such a nest of rivalries. I warned him to make you sisters, that it would make things more civilised. He thought I was joking. I wasn't.' " If there had been female primarchs and marines...
