[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7984647, member: 37579"] WotC makes all kinds of bad moves and silly decisions. But they're not automatically evil because they're a [I]gasp[/I] business. WotC is company staffed by people. Awesome people. People gamers now know by name and has spent a long decade trying to work with the gaming community and build a positive relationship with. This isn't the litigious WotC of 2004. This is the DnD team that almost lost D&D and watched the game burn in the 2010s and has slowly built back up the trust of their fans. They've forking EARNED my defense of them. A couple bearded middle aged nerds who then went to court fighting over money until it was just one bearded middle aged nerd who relentlessly quashed anyone who claimed to have helped invent D&D and deny them a piece of its success. The TSR—or T$R as it was better known by us old types—was not a happy, positive company. It's self-indulgent ludicrously priced twoddle created as a mid-life crisis by a semi-famous actor that has made a lot of gamers happy and added life to people's campaigns, enriching their gaming experience? What will your mid-life crisis do? [/QUOTE]
