[QUOTE="Dungeonosophy, post: 8491296, member: 6688049"] I totally agree with you. They're bland, platitudinous boilerplates, which any right-minded person would ignore, having read it once. Well, that's a lack of imagination there. [URL='https://www.polygon.com/22585687/dungeons-dragons-r-a-salvatore-drizzt-black-controversy-race-interview']R.A. Salvatore's frank and amendatory comments in the Polygon interview from back in August[/URL] were refreshing and beautiful to read. His words inspired me to pick up the [I]Starlight Enclave [/I]audiobook. Which I enjoyed. (I'd read several of the Drizzt books a couple years ago, but petered out due to scenes of unnecessarily graphic violence and sexual violation, along with weariness of the eternally evil Menzoberrazan.) But I really enjoyed [I]Starlight Enclave[/I], and I'm looking forward to the next in the series. The DRAGON+ cultural amends articles and interviews would be "prime time" drama in D&D fandom. There's hardly anything more interesting than people being authentic. But it's not that scary...Wizards would of course edit and shape the amendatory articles and legacy designer interviews so that there aren't unnecessary rough edges. Wizards now has the people who are able to do a skillful job of this--to walk the line between rawness/authenticity and beauty/positivity, in a healing way. Well, I got hot with Snarf, but I'm truly grateful that they/she/he appreciated my original research post. I'm not sure what my being sharp with Snarf has to do with making "WotC and the authors crawl on their bellies begging for forgiveness." Maybe you haven't yet personally experienced the healing power of giving or receiving amends. An amends process doesn't involve "bowing and scraping" to anyone. The amends process I've repeatedly outlined is doable, dignified, beautiful, and, I would say, necessary. [/QUOTE]
