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.

Just saw a flipthrough of Tasha's big bucket of unearthed arcana on youtube

The SJWs will rail against anything D&D until it becomes absolute ZERO.

They don't care about the hobby. They just want their opinion to dominate to the exclusion of everything else.

It's weird watching people kill a game. Like watching a snake slowly devour a mouse. Funny that Hasbro is the rodent. You'd imagine such a company can defend itself.

Thank Dionysus for the OSR.
TTRPGs are just games. Friends are forever.

Now that's just insulting to the snake. It's more like watching cancer or radiation poisoning eat away at a healthy organism.

Or perhaps like looking at a healthy organism and realizing that every cell in it is different than when it was young, and that this growth is natural. If a game fails to grow in a similar way, the lack of apoptosis in the death of the older ideas is the real cancer.

Similar to HappyDaze -- I don't have any inside sales knowledge, but as far as I can see, D&D is roughly as popular as it has ever been. The books are ranked highly in Amazon, and I'm seeing loads of pop cultural references. There's even a major D&D film being produced. This is a huge contrast from, say, the 2e era or the 4e era.

D&D isn't dying, it's booming. Now, maybe this is in spite of the WotC's liberal leanings, and it would do even better by being more like the OSR -- I can't easily tell about that. I'm not commenting on cause - just results.
