Ever wonder why D&D nostalgia crept into television and film? Because all the writers and directors grew up in the 80s and 90s playing D&D. It's the same reason we get remakes and reboots every 20 years or so. It's almost as if it's generational...And just as reliably, some of those of the same age over identify with their favorite formative media and they get upset when these "young whippersnappers" (who are actually their peers) change things. In our current time that includes a lot of things that reflect changing cultural trends, and so some folks throw about "politics" as a sticking point. But the reality is it's creative people being in a position to play with their favorite toys again.Imagine 20 years down the road when a new fan now snorts derisively at the new and improved 10th Edition with its arcanoborg PC phenotype. That's you right now.</blockquote>
