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.

Are we talking about the  same "Welcoming Community" whose leader "fired" a bunch of D&D fans?


The same "welcoming community" who disparage gamers who don't see eye to eye with their own views?


The same "welcoming community" who eat their own like Mearls, Perkins, etc.  when they "step out of line"?








No thank you.

I'll stick with the community full of asshats who don't give a shit what that  "welcoming community" thinks ;D

Err....I can stop if need be.

Is not your fault people can't argue against what you actually said.  :P

Why would you not want to be part of the welcoming community that will cancel your ass is you said the wrong thing, though?  :-\

At least that didn't seem to be what anyone else was talking about.


Instead of talking about gaming there is way too much of this going on:

I suppose that I should have been more specific and the community at large and not the Woke SJW employees and fans. I suppose everyone sometimes needs everything drawn to them in wax crayon on paper

That was that SJW Woke Mearls and the the equally woke fans. I don't assume they speak for everyone unlike some people so No.

Why would anyone with even a micro-gram of a functioning brain or common sense think that is what I or most sane and people think as welcoming. No

Again no so either your basing your opinions on what you see written or heard from on forums. Or simply being disingenuous and picking the worst examples to provide of the 5E community. Again no

I have largely never found a "community at large" that was "Gooderer" then other communities (outside of outright shit people like say a drug dealer community).


Advertising a community as "Welcoming" is just largely self serving. I don't think 5e has any community better or worse then any other really.

Those guys may have written the books for 5E; but once it made its way into other peoples' hands, they took it and did what they wanted to with it.  Those guys may hold positions at WOTC, but they don't rule over the community at large.  You can't fire me from something I already own. 
I need you to roll a perception check.....

Thanks. It really isn't hard to understand. God, I hate outrage porn.

Y'all crack me up.

I gave up on WOTC years ago. I don't get outraged at anything when it comes to make believe games about faeries and elves.
