I'll take it! :) I know that Ed has been LGBTQ+ friendly . . . probably since before he even sold the Realms to TSR! So, no surprise that the Realms has always been a friendly place. And I love the "Um, Actually" reference!

Nothing in the OP shows trans drow as "canon" . . . but this excerpt from Dragon Heist does!! Ed is good people, and of course gives anything he posts or publishes a degree of canon-feel, as he is the beloved creator of the Realms . . . but he does not own the rights to the Realms, nor does he...

Well, the police were not involved because the cards in question were very much NOT stolen. And WotC knew that. The worst possible crime was that a retailer purposefully broke street date. That's it. Should they have investigated? Yes. Should they have hired a security firm to do the work? I...

Yes. But hey, the arguments and sources provided here didn't convince you, neither did your own research . . . so why accept the truth of it now?

That's true . . . I love Pinkerton! It might not be their best album, but it still rocks! :)

That was true for D&D before 5th Edition. It was not necessarily true for other RPGs, and it is not the sales model WotC has pursued for 5E, both 2014 and 2024. The 2024 books are selling well RIGHT NOW. Will that be sustained over time? That, of course, we'll have to wait and see.

Your tone is getting pushback, not so much your request for more info. It comes across as, "Oh yeah? Prove it!" rather than, "I don't have all the info, can you direct me to some of it?" For example, "I think using the wild west as recent history is a bit dodgy, but hey." Nobody actually used...

Your ignorance does not equate to others "spreading rumors". I feel @Faolyn's description of the event in question, WotC sending Pinkertons to harass a MtG YouTuber, is one with charged language . . . but none-the-less is fairly accurate to what happened. However, despite your own ignorance on...

Yes, fear of change transcends age and different generations. It can even be passed down from parents to their kids . . . You should hear some of the stuff some of my 13-year old students, with nerdy parents at home, say about D&D . . . it used to shock me and I had to check to see if a 50-60...

So, all YouTubers then. Oookay.

Are they involved in union busting or corporate thuggery? And so it's not "YouTubers" but rather a handful of individual YouTubers? Okay.

Anyone? All, or most, of tabletop fandom is aware? Yeah, if only. It's one warning, enough that those who hear it might look deeper. Just as what we are doing in this thread.

I'm sure, but what exactly is your point? I may be misunderstanding, but you seem dismissive of the discussion that GAMA is a troubled organization. Like it's no big whoop. If so, I'd counter that the industry trade organization for the industry that serves our fandom is an important topic of...

WotC definitely could claim ownership over Perkin's Iomandra campaign, and anything else he developed while working for WotC . . . but I don't think they would likely exercise that option. What would it gain them? While interesting settings, they did not garner fan support similar to Eberron or...

Okay. Shrug. Not all corporations are poorly managed or toxic Plus, GAMA is an industry trade organization.

I don't know what else to tell you, this type of contract is common in creative industries.

Yes, that's how it works . . . depending on the work contract you sign. It's not uncommon in creative industries, and even other industries as well. I'm a school teacher, and technically, any curriculum I develop belongs to my school district, due to the employment contract I signed. The idea...

No, you're still responsible for fixing up your shed . . . but if you do a really good job and make it look super nice, then Morrus gets to take it for his own back yard.

No it can't. Maybe you're being funny (ha ha) . . . but the Pinkertons have a deserved reputation as thugs and union-busters and not just back in the wild west days, but today.

Hey! Weezer doesn't have bad albums! Pinkerton is great! Well, okay, still not their best, sure . . .
