[QUOTE="Smackpixi, post: 9588499, member: 7028579"] What gets me in most of these discussions is that what people want IS available, IS being produced, and in quantities that exceed what was available at the time it was originally popular. In the TTRPG space, now is nearly literally the best of all possible worlds. Scads of new games, and tons of stuff for old games. The problem people can’t seem to let go of is that TSR/WotC isn’t the one doing it, so it doesn’t count. Even within 5e community people can’t accept that exactly what they want is available on DMsGuild or Reddit, right now, possibly for free. But new modules for 1e or 1e style modules for 5e ARE available. There are bands out there making music like whatever you pleasure is, they’re not popular, they’re not getting radio play, but they’re out there, and they’re not bad. I don’t think the Rolling Stones ever made another album as good as Let It Bleed, nor did they attempt to make another one that would qualify as disk two, but I would argue that there are bands, even today, that use it as their biggest influence and are putting out music like it. It not popular, but it’s out there. So I’m on the side of people that say what people that won’t let it go about the Orcs are really doing is trying to “control the narrative”. They review bomb, they complain here about every new DnD book, to try to make the story that what WotC is releasing is bad, not worth buying, would be better as a hex crawl with Real Orcs that pretty much everyone agrees aren’t racist. I don’t think arguing with people on the internet changes the mind of the Person That Is Wrong, but the spectators not entrenched are influenceable. And that’s why they persist believing that if enough people say a thing enough times, it becomes true. [/QUOTE]
