D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk Coming From Luke Gygax & WotC

[Dire Bare]

I could not be less interested in a D&D that emphasizes racism and sexism again

It's blowing my mind, the enormous leap some here are making that Ayoub is apologizing for WotC's prior statements, disclaimers, and notes in books like "The Making of Original D&D" on the racism and sexism in classic D&D books.

We see what we want to see, I suppose.

To me, after watching all the videos of the panels of Dan and Luke at GaryCon, what Dan apologized to Luke over was things like the disclaimers on older D&D projects and the accusations of racism and sexism in the history of OD&D book. Just a shot in the dark, but that was the vibe I got. Regardless of the exact details, I'm glad D&D under Ayoub seems to be leaving that era behind. I'm excited for the future of the game with the franchise model and an embracing of traditional D&D fantasy.

That would be a weird apology since that disclaimer is still in place on all odler products.

I mean, part of the power of apology is that if done well people can read a lot into it.

it certainly helps that we have no idea what was actually said…

I have it on good authority (my imagination), that Ayoub said a lot of nice things about you.

Does anyone actually read what Morrus wrote, or listen to what WotC said before posting?

I had no idea that was even an option...

What's the difference between PR and a PR stunt?
