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.

Nothing new.  Leftists tend to be racists.  Why do you think the DNC named KKK Sen. Robert Byrd as the "conscious of the Senate" and not a single Dem made a public fuss over it?

Please don't shift to off-topic political commentary. That's not allowed here. You can talk all the rpg-politics you like, but your post will encourage other people to go off into regular politics, and that's thread-derailment.

You can always click "Modify" and delete the text within the post.  We've all had to do that on occasion...  ;D

D&D is weird. If you start with a decent alternative system it has very little appeal (apart from the vast amount of modules I suppose, but they are often incompatible if you have the wrong D&D edition).

I agree.   I'm not a hater, but D&D rules don't do it for me.  I prefer games that don't make you into a hit point punching bag as you level up. 

Official D&D can insult us all they want, I'm not their customer, and the OSR and indie scenes got me covered. 
I'm glad for you if you like the top selling game of the genre.  Me, I like the road less travelled, and will be the player asking we try a game you've never heard of.

This is true of the WOTC editions. Old TSR content is very compatible between systems. A given old school module could be run with OD&D, B/X, or AD&D, or even clones such as OSE, Labyrinth Lord, OSRIC and several others with very little if any modification needed. That is what makes OSR content so useful. Those without D&D experience may not be aware of this.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.
