[QUOTE="Emberashh, post: 8977855, member: 7040941"] But then we're no longer talking about the same thing are we? Theres a lot of nuance here and I see little reason to deal in absolutes. I contend that a journalist's writing should be nothing more than a proverbial plate on which information is passed on to the reader, and not a proverbial bread bowl that was not disclosed up front, with ingredients no one asked for. There shouldn't be any confusion in the first place, and I think you're overstating the impact implicit, unintentioned bias would have. Manufactured Consent is an issue, no doubt, but thats a distinct step above (really, multiple steps) merely reporting the facts, and comes from more angles than just one journalist writing in a way that undermines her own intentions. This is why its important to digest a healthy variety of sources when learning about some bit of news. (And why, as it happened, I didn't immediately jump on the outrage train when the OGL debacle first started. I more or less abandoned 5e and started writing my own game literally the next day as corroborations came to light) I think its more that not everyone is going to be that comfortable with permanently modifying their very expensive fancy wood baubles, so it can be worthwhile to temper the desire to try and make a statement that might not be heard by anyone, least of all the people in the wrong. That being said, I saw on Reddit that there was a woodworker who was making the mod for like a $20 or a service swap. I imagine you could find a local woodworker who'd give you a decent price to do the same, or might even do it for free given what it is. [/QUOTE]
