[QUOTE="wicked cool, post: 8705060, member: 85714"] if you dont complain then there is no change. Until recently i had no idea how toxic the TSR office was. This new book preview has opened my eyes on why it failed Going to disagree strongly with the hits on facebook etc. i dont want to live in blissful ignorance. Pre facebook/internet you had to rely on some weekly/monthly magazine to get any kind of news. Dragon had an add for upcoming products and some of the video gaming magazines had articles on D&D i would agree its getting worse but a lot of this is justified -everything costs more. I want to go to a movie or concert to enjoy myself/have fun and see a good product. I dont want to go to say a Motley Crue concert and watch the lead singer read of a teleprompter because his mind is mush. i paid a lot of money for that - buy a video game (pick one in the last few years) and it literally crashes all the time as its filled with errors. -a trilogy of movies where the plot is a mess as a giant studio gave way 2 much freedom and the oversight was awful -at 1 point we were buying D&D miniatures and the quality went way down and the price went up. There was 1 set where the miniatures get a mysterious dust on them and many for a while were shipped broke as the plastic was 2 shallow -i see organized D&D rules where certain D&D races are banned as they are broken. same goes with MTG. instead of a fix its just banned -Sports stars sign 5-6 year mega deals and then want to leave their teams after 1-2 as its 2 hard. Not that i have but fans shell out a lot o f money for merchandise and they expect maximum effort -i go to see some comedian that is offensive and i have to worry that someone has a weapon and now maybe im in danger. This didnt happen in the 80s /90s - want my new marvel movies to be better or as good as the best of the old ones i seek out the reviews. I want to know why Siskel and Ebert didnt like a movie (old reference). I was mad at GOT when there was 1 episode where i couldnt see what was going on because the screen was 2 dark. That crap didnt happen with my grandparents old black and white shows People are dedicated to their lore. I dont want some new designer in 5-10 years to come along and say wouldnt it be cool if halflings had wings or gelatinous cubes could talk and fly and maybe lloth was just misunderstood etc. I think this community in its reviews etc is very solid. I know based off of here and elsewhere what are the best 5E materials and which ones are not so good. in my ignorance where are all theses toxic d&d groups? critical role fans were toxic towards their own product but that seems to have died down. i dont see any bashing of them on their own fan page. I have never seen such dedication from tatoos to cosplay etc. The mercer effect is just pure jealousy [/QUOTE]
