Well, if complaining about WotC's woke bullshit is considered "drama", then this entire forum site is an exercise in drama.

Ding, ding, ding!

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Sigh, well I got my gift set of the core 3 books in, and I was excited until I looked at the Drow entry only to discover that I got the woke version of the books. I figured I was safe since I have a 10th printing pdf of the players handbook and is the non-woke version.

The slip case is nice, the books are a really cool foil cover...but it's been "corrected" with Right Think.

Now I have to decide if it's worth the trouble of returning to Amazon or not.

Going to the city this weekend with my wife and son and was planning on hitting up the LFGSs anyway. If I can find the Pure versions of the core 3 for cheap then that's what I'll do and send this woke trash back.

Can't fucking believe I can't even buy a D&D book without having woke filth infiltrate my household. I just want to play D&D, not be indoctrinated.

I mean was it really SO bad back in the day when you could safely buy whatever the fuck your wanted without fear of taking part in someone's political ideology?

Used copies off the internet would have been more likely to yield the true early 5E game.  You could have messaged potential sellers, and asked them what printing their copy was.

I'm sorry you didn't get what you wanted.  You should anticipate that any brand new slipcase editions, will be the newer woke printings.

Yes, it was my mistake. Lesson learned. Frustrating nonetheless.

If you are looking for D&D alternatives that still feel/play like D&D OSR products are indeed a good option.

Another one that I have been enjoying is Shadow of the Demon  Lord. This is actually the system I am using in place of D&D right now since my current players like d20 systems. Still trying to get them to bite on Savage Worlds, but that's a tale for another day.
