[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6234868, member: 92511"] NEWSFLASH: YOU DON'T HAVE TO find it compelling to have it be the truth. Sucks, I know...and agree. But the fact is...you don't have to. Nice attempt to use my own words against me...A+...fact is, me and my friends, you and your friends...NONE of us matter. Will. It. Make. Money? That's what matters. Which, 'nuthr newsflash, D&D has ALWAYS been!! Your elf is what? A D&D elf. Your "wizard" is what? A D&D wizard. Don't like it? Change it. As much as I despise the modern jargon, "Nuff sed." This is just so much hyperbole and, practically, hyperventilating that I don't even know what to say about it. Yes, that is exactly what they're saying. The D&D police is coming to [I]your[/I] house...no, not anyone's, [B]ONLY YOUR[/B] house to tell you what is "real" in the "fantasy role-playing game of gumdrop elves." Lookout! Here's comes the black-lycraed, but somehow incredibly pale-skinned, D&D gestapo. They are there, in the shadows...They're coming...no, not for any perceived "us"..just for [B][I]you[/I][/B]. AHHHHHH!!! There is, literally, nothing here that is toting "one true way."...It's toting baseline...It's toting inclusiveness, which I had thought was your desire?...It's toting what WotC a.k.a. Hasbro WANTS [NOT Kamikaze Midget, HASBRO!!!]...based on what? Makin' mullah. Plain and simple. And, interesting that you seem to know...what [I]is [/I]the "existing identity of the brand"? And, since you know, [I]how[/I] exactly, does it "works against" it? You don't need a "leak." You don't need to read tea leaves [though I can if you like! ;) ] You need common sense...and an acknowledgement of its [common senses'] existence. You need an acknowledgement that this is how businesses run...It's no secret. It's no magical formula. It's how things happen [businesses work]! You can accept it or cry "Why? Why?!" It matters not to me. [/QUOTE]
