Most just...play D&D.Similar to Black's comments about liberals and conservatives, as if all D&D fans can be so neatly categorized on one side of the political spectrum. And even if they are, they don't necessarily care or have the same level of upset about the controversies as Black implies (e.g. not all liberals are upset about WotC's "milquetoast" attitude, and not all conservatives are raging against every change to their game). Most D&D players seem rather happy with WotC, or happy enough to keep driving record sales, and just want to play.Now more generally speaking, what I find interesting about this is the choice of name: Darrington Press. Why not Critical Role Publishing? Wouldn't that give them more automatic sales? I wonder what the reasoning is behind this; maybe they don't want to step on WotC's toes, as Critical Role has a strong relationship with them and starting a self-named publishing company might be viewed as overt competition, rather than the more covert competition of Darrington.</blockquote>
