And whats that elfs name?  Milf?  Something like that.And some people are just aghast at Gen X for using these old 1st ed characters in the.... Anniversary Edition.  Like did you not notice this has been hyped as the 50th Anniversary Edition?  Like WotC has played up the 50 Anniversary everywhere.  There are even 50th Anniversary themed minis coming.Don't be worried by the time they roll 5.75 or 6 or whatever I'm sure it will go back to mostly anime themed Hogwarts bespectacled heroes in big bright colors. You don't see Warduke needing glasses! (Im just joking, nothing wrong with fantasy heroes in eyewear.)This is the 50 Anniversary.  Normally I would defecate all up and down WotC for their choices but I can't fault them for trying to celebrate the 50th Anniversary.Not to mention, them using nostalgia back when they released 5th ed is what got a lot of the older gamers to try D&D5.  The game might not exist if they didn't throw us a bone back then and it doesn't hurt them now, especially tied to a 5 decades celebration.As for Gen X. Well, let me finish off with our motto born from neglect and apathy:  "Whatever."<img src="https://media0.giphy.com/media/AVDRJEriLkuMo/200.gif" alt="i rule breakfast club GIF" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
