Tacos. Burgers. Sushi. This is what happens when you stop roleplaying and build a culture of self-inserts, personal therapy, and SparkleTroll feelings.

First they trashed Gary Gygax. Now they brag about baiting @elonmusk & @Grummz + tell you that you are "not worth listening to. ". We've been telling you for a while that @Wizards_DnD hates you. You need to start listening. Not another penny to WotC or Hasbro!.#NotOneMoreGP

We already know the module sucks and players who don't really play the game are the target audience. Let's talk about what the fuck this thing is that's baking the human pie. Make Orcs Evil Again.

The extreme left in the TTRPG industry WILL continue to force-feed an agenda as long as you keep holding your nose and buying their products. "I can ignore the woke bits" is not an excuse. Don't give money to people that hate you.

Let's put this on the record, again:. If in your mind you see an orc (any demi human) and associate it with a real world human being or culture, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. It's not the game, its creator, and/or players that need help. Fin.

They. Don't. Really. Play. This hobby poison that continues to be churned out emboldens those who would use the D&D/TTRPG hobby as a political platform and want to destroy history, lore, and everything that came before.

HASBRO SHOPPING DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS?!?. We told you so. Let's hope it lands in the hands of a responsible custodian. #DnD for sale.

They really just don't get it. You would think the diversity crowd could get this one right. Dungeons & Dragons has become a woke superhero power fantasy, with a side of rainbow porn. Let's not even start talking about that hideous art.

For those of you that think you're actually playing D&D, remember: . ✅ Non-Human, non-lawful good paladins don't exist. ✅ If you use a consent checklist, you need to find a new DM. ✅ GTFOOH with your battle wheelchair. Most of the rest will sort itself out.

Most fans don't give a hoot about AI. Hasbro doesn't understand Dungeons & Dragons, period. And here's a surprise, neither does the pop gaming media.

No, theater kiddie. You cannot play a neutral, non-human paladin. There's just so many things wrong with this. Both concept and imagery. We'd list them, but tweets have a character limit.

The X-Card is now the X sign. According to the '24 Woke DMG you can halt the session by throwing the ol' pro-wrasslin' "injury X" up in front of you. Pretty sure our DM would just laugh at anyone trying this maneuver at our table. RUN FAR FROM DND 2024. #GatekeepingIsGood

Soooo. the Hasbro legal team must be working overtime, with overreach. The following design, which is just about as generic as you can get was "failed" by Amazon's merch team. This only happened in the UK site with an edit; US goods are still up, provided we don't revamp

Oh fuck off, BBC. #DnD is, was, and always shall be the haven for misanthropes, outcasts, geeks, nerds, and general weirdos. It's when the normies came in that the problems began.

Oh, look. Two characters that would be mobbed and executed in Barovia. Ravenloft is next to become a punchline in the DND world. Thanks, WotC.

No, 2/3 of the players are actively making a choice to reject the normalization of repugnant behavior designed to destroy cultural mores. #BaldersGate3 #BearSex was no accident, or joke. It was a calculated political insert, but the silent majority didn't buy it.

When people ask why we say Gatekeeping Is Good, we point to SparkleTroll crap like this. They. Don't. Really. Play.

One of these things is not like the other. (One of these things also totally destroys the irony and duality of this film.) . Reject making everything safe and vanilla. Demand authenticity, even if it makes you wince.

Nothing like the destruction of lore and introduction of a character that would never have succeeded in that setting. The destruction of the hobby and politicization from within is astounding. Stand your ground. Vote with your wallet. #NotOneMoreGP, #WotC.

18 months later and 2024 DND has been drowned by this ideological tsunami. Dungeons and Dragons is dead.
ICYMI: .Halfsies are #racist. Wishing "#white guys" away from the hobby, chivalrous. #Woke #WotC-nazis are standing on their heads and telling the world that it's upside-down. #DnD is dead.

.@DrivethruRPG strikes again with arbitrary censorship. How about this for an idea: let people decide what they want to buy with their own dollars.
#censorship . and MEN has been "temporarily suspended" after a customer reported the title "as potentially containing offensive content" @DriveThruRPG. And we know what happens when products are temporarily suspended, don't we? It took them a day, for fuck's sake!

A year ago. Things have not improved.
They won't stop. Ever. #DnD is dead. #WotC is determined to politically appease the demi-humans that DON'T buy their products as opposed to recapturing the audience that could bring them back from the ledge. #NotOneMoreGP

Cynthia Williams of #WotC has resigned. More as deets come out, but this is a fart in the wind. The entire culture and cast of characters needs to change for any meaningful improvement to take place.

One of the worst things birthed from 3e was the perceived "need" for encounter balance. Now you have SparkleTrolls running around, thinking they are invincible superheroes. Make. Them. Cry.

Yes. Please begin to eat your own! . May we suggest using the garbage phrase "problematic story arcs" for your next hit piece. #CriticalRole kicked open the door to the destruction of our hobby. Pick 'em apart, glittery ones!

And people said that the WotC-nazi stunt would shake the sparkletrolls back to their senses! Ha!
27
13
118
Yep, one at a time the sparkletroll tourists are marching back to Wizards. Wizards does have one thing right. For this crew that doesn't really play the game, it IS a lifestyle brand. Without their Führer, they are lost souls soldiering through a 4-hour shift at Target.
26
15
115
That's because they don't really play Dungeons & Dragons. Theythem create hundreds of video game characters that never make it to the table. They. Don't. Really. Play. #GatekeepingIsGood

People don't believe us when we say the hobby is being poisoned and leveraged for political reasons. Sure, this is normal when playing anything tabletop. .
A local games store in Lincoln, Nebraska hosted a drag show where kids were encouraged to hand cash tips to a grown man dressed up provocatively as a woman while he danced s*xuaIIy for them.

They. Don't. Really. Play. Someone ought to hook up these morons with the "winning at D&D jabronis." . Find a game you love, play it sensibly, embrace #ClassicGaming.

They want you to play #BG3. They want you to forget the good times, great friends, and forever memories that you have of actually playing the game. Viva la virtual tabletop. Avoid wizards. Embrace tradition. Play the #osr. #NotOneMoreGP, #WotC.
