Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 9570422" data-attributes="member: 2525">While fluff text originated then, I think the first player class for it originated under WOTC with 3e? Further, as WOTC took over with TSR employees still on staff replacing primarily the executives who had been hired from outside TSR to begin with, I'd say they're just a continuation of the original tribal peoples. Ed Greenwood, from my recollection, was not an employee of TSR. He just was a contractor, and was a contractor with WOTC at one time as well.Regardless this whole analogy is silly. Colonialism theory is diluted in meaning when you extend it to a TSR-WOTC level. There is no reason to diminish the impact of colonialism by using it for this sort of business transfer as if it means the same thing in that context.</blockquote>
