[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8528003, member: 4534"] As with many long running threads, the topic has shifted multiple times over the course of more than 500 posts. The post I replied to was most certainly not about legacy products. I'm with you when it comes to contemporary entertainment. There are products that I haven't purchased because I found something off putting about the content. d20 splatbooks by Avalanche Press immediate comes to mind. I don't typically know the views of the creators' of things I purchase, but that's something that could sway my decision on whether or not I want to buy something. TSR changed D&D to suit their customers and I expect WotC will continue to change D&D for as long as they're in business. I've liked some of the changes and I've disliked other changes, and in either way it's okay for them to make changes. I haven't argued against every change. While I've argued that it's perfectly fine to have evil races, I've never argued against WotC making it more clear that orcs or bugbears aren't evil all the time. I miss the importance of alignment, but its role in the game has diminished over the last 22 years and I've come to accept that it's a largely a vestigial holdover in 5th edition. [/QUOTE]
