[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9779846, member: 177"] I am about to get a little salty, but hopefully amusing.... Then, by all means, show your work. Numbers pulled out of your Astral Plane are not persuasive. My father would have called that "horsehockey". Control is an illusion - even WotC figured that out and put 5e under Creative Commons. There's no need to "liberate" that which is already free. There are already approaches extant to support whatever playstyle you want. Your personal preferred style doesn't have to be WotC's sole focus to be playable. Nobody needs to be "stopped". Not you, and not Hasbro. Oh, please. I've heard this from too many grumpy people on the internet who get themselves in a twist over pastel colors in gaming art, or depiction of non-white people, or of men looking with love at other men. Don't join their ranks. WotC seems to be serving more players than ever. Quick, someone get us a clip of Sarah McLachlan's "In the Arms of an Angel" playing over slow-motion panning shots of old bearded guys behind ratty AD&D DM's Screens with old, battered dice, piteous eyes turned sadly upwards the camera as they show their empty bowls of Cheetos and dry bottles of Mountain Dew! Those games have plenty of support in numerous products already, enabled by WotC's licensing approaches. Nobody's stopping you from playing how you like, and there's plenty of folks actively supporting you. What matters to me is the tired rhetoric of people who apparently cannot handle no longer being the only focus of D&D. Get a grip. [/QUOTE]
