D&D (2024) Polygon takes shots at WotC & D&D

[Henadic Theologian]

It’s time for independent tabletop role-playing games to get loud

The dragon is wounded, and it’s time to throw yourselves into the breach

There categorization of FR is garbage fyi, it's not generic.

Polygon's tabletop takes are why I stopped visiting that site.

I guess Polygon's traffic is down. Time to put out some sensationalist titles and articles to drive traffic. I hate seeing the shift from journalism to entertainment.

All I took away from that is that an edition change is a time to reflect on what you're playing and see if you want to continue, or bail ship to try something different. And for companies to put out that "something different" before folks get locked in whatever direction they're going to go.

Polygon: D&D feels like it’s losing its edge. All those indie games need to take advantage!

Also Polygon, same writer: The new D&D edition is a treasure and the franchise’s high water mark!

Also Also Polygon: What’s an indie TTRPG? They have those things? Guess we’ll write another article about D&D.

Don't Enworlders take shots at WOTC all the time?

Also, by sharing this article, you're encouraging Polygon to make more of it. Why not share something you want to see more of??

Hmm, Polygon sucks but so does WotC, I feel confused and don’t know how to respond.

Yeah, for all the people critical of Hasbro for layoffs, you won't believe how awful Vox has been to its staff over the last four years

That opinion article has gotten a lot wrong. One D&D's a name for the playtest phase. The OGL debacle has been resolved with a lot of people happy. Also, nothing after the Monster Manual this year? Really? We get two Forgotten Realms books, a dragon adventure anthology, and a remake of Keep on the Borderlands.

I get it's an opinion piece, but the writer should get some details right to get the point across.

and so should you…

From the article:
“The announcement of new campaigns and adventures has also notably slowed. After the revised Monster Manual (2025) arrives in February, fans may need to wait until the summer for new playable adventures set in the Forgotten Realms. And when those do arrive, they may not add up to a full campaign. Additionally, fans will get an unnamed dragon anthology of unconnected adventures by the summer, and a new starter set by the fall. That’s seemingly it for playable content”

Everything you say is missing is right here
