SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Hmmmm.


Quote from: DDB email saidHelp Take a Stand
Half of all D&D Beyond proceeds from dice sales during the first week (through next Monday) will be donated to Black Lives Matter.


Sadly,  they are stepping into a big pool of political shit going down this road.

I doubt it. Most of the rpg world seems to be full tilt about signaling right now.

Dividing lines are drawn and everyone is choosing sides, whether they intend to or not.

I choose to side with the Chris24601 Anti-Poverty Endowment. 100% of all donations to CAPE will go to enriching the life of Chris24601.

Do they actually make that much from dice sales?

Seems like someone crunched the numbers and probably figure this is a good way of shifting stock whilst getting some good PR without actually doing anything.

Depending on your definition of "good"!

I said this is another thread, but I'll repeat it here. If anyone supports the looting and rioting, they truly HATE black Americans. These morons don't understand how the middle class responds to riots. The middle class moves away, aka "white flight", and poof go the home values, the businesses and the tax base. The silent majority takes silent, but significant action. I've lived in LA through the 1992 riots and I can attest to the long term damage suffered by the black community caused by the riots.

Can someone support BLM and be against riots? Maybe. Unfortunately, the two are deeply intertwined in regards to the organization, its leadership, its relationship with the media, and most importantly, within the optics in the eyes of the rest of America. If anyone really wanted to solve problems and not just virtue signal, the answer would be an All Lives Matter organization that explicitly honored all those who protest peacefully and demands dickstomping on all those who harm innocents.

BTW, if anyone wants to donate to a good non-political cause, I suggest DonorsChoose.org.

Teachers announce their class projects and you can fund what you personally support.

"I" do not support BLM in any way, and now I'll never do any business with D&D Beyond.
I need you to roll a perception check.....

This is some of the most entitled racist shit I've ever read here on the site. Nice troll bro.

I support Black Lives Matters. I support the riots because they're working. Look at your man-baby ass spewing your bullshit all over the site. Obviously tweaked a nice knot in your panties heh?

Fucking shit-hammock.

Virtue signaling level 9000.

Greetings!

Mobs of thugs burning, looting, and destroying *local* businesses is so lawful and nice. Ever wonder how that affects the business owners, and the employees that work there? All of that mayhem has fuck all to do with a black man being killed by a policeman in Minnesota.

Yay! Lets create even more of a burned out shithole where everyone fucking chokes on poverty and drugs. And these jackasses then wonder why no one wants to invest in these shithole ghettoes?

Fucking amazing.

Law and Order needs to be restored.

Semper Fidelis,
