[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 9620476, member: 6915329"] I wasn't looking at his tweets, since I don't have twitter (or bluesky or any other sort of social media beyond forums like this one, since I am generally incapable of communicating in the character limits that they have). I was referring solely to the post he made here, [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/mike-mearls-d-d-is-uncool-again.711123/page-100#post-9620122']#993[/URL].
