D&D 5E Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

Certainly not the player base responding to this poll.

That's for sure. All 14 of them. Never mind, still had that other poll on the brain.

When did we start talking about the sensibilities of the entire player base?

You inserted the word “entire.”

You inserted the word “entire.”

You pretty much implied it.

There was no qualifier, then again, looking at this poll (noted as being small, unscientific, and this forum leaning likely dramatically older than Wizards current entire player base) the 'player base' is fine with these elements.

The poll doesn't limit specificity to WotC though.

True, but this is a D&D thread, in a D&D leaning forum, discussing a Wizards owned IP.

We need to take some assumptions for granted I think.

My bad. It’s late. Let’s try it this way:

Whose expression is being curtailed by pointing out the WotC won't be publishing an update of Dark Sun because of WotC’s perception of the sensibilities of a significant portion of their player base (which neither WotC nor any reasonable person would suggest is monolithic)?

Significant? That's not much better than 'entire'. I think you might want to back that statement up with some facts.

I think that would do many posters on this thread a disservice, as they've specifically called out a separation between their feelings of WotC and other creators / publishers when it comes to the strict binary question presented.

And yet so many posters in this thread seem to think it does.

It was not a statement of fact. It was about WotC’s perception of their player base. And the question remains. Whose expression is being curtailed?

Fair enough.
