In 1995 I was in middle school, and found a local game store that sold GW stuff among other things, I was into X-men comics and cards, and had started getting into MTG a bit heavier and playing it... wish I hadn't given away all my MTG cards in the early 2000s as I had a bunch from the first 3 or 4 sets and also the expansions up through the late 1990s...some of the early stuff would have been worth a bit years later. In 1996 I got into Warhammer and got the 5th edition starter set... ended up trading the Brettonian models to someone from the store to get their set of Lizardmen, and collected a Lizzardmen army. That store closed and I didn't really have people to play with any more, but I don't remember Mordheim being a thing then. I got back into wargaming and minis about 2005 or 2006 with Warmachine as Mk2 was coming out, and 40K 4th ed was ending so I got some models and waited for Prime Mk2 and then got the 40K Black Reach set to start 40K(2 sets actually)... Would love to see GW try another Mordheim as I'm more into skirmish sized games right now, but not really AoS... but I also see why some folks want them to leave it alone, so maybe a rerelease of a new rulebook, some new models, but leave the game and it's rules mostly alone....or not even changed at all... just a reprint, a new starter with some terrain releases maybe, and new models...

l am a big fan of OPR... played 40K from late 4th edition until 6th/7th edition...and Kill Team in some of it's earliest incarnations as well as the 2018 boxed game and Elites expansion. I really tired of chasing the 40K rules books and changes, and the new 2021 version of Kill Team didn't appeal to me. In the last few months I have however been tempted to try out the newest version of Kill Team, and might go ahead and give it a go. Have you ever considered the Kill Team game from GW?

Yes definitely

One more question Salt. Did you print your custom dungeon tile or create yourself? I'm trying to find some printable 6 x 10 room maps online

I really want the new cast of daredevil to play marvel multiverse ttrpg for promo

2 years later thanks to the algorithm. The link is getting red flagged, do you have an alternate link or another social where it can be found?

Its been there MO for a good two decades now. Thing is you dont have to buy the new stuff. Got your army? Built it the same as your friends? Boom keep playing

I might be one of the aforementioned "hobbitheads". I loved (still do) the movies. Even I have to acknowledge that the LOTR trilogy is objectively and subjectively better. Ill binge either at the drop of the hat, but I've never heard someone genuinely pick The Hobbit over LOTR.

So, LotR battle game has been around since around 2001 or 2002. I picked up the very first box set about that time on my way to Korea. It was out before the second movie even hit theaters (first box was a handful of men, elves from the prologue battle; and a horde of goblins from Moria... Yeah, but it was cool regardless). I'd have never gotten into any other GW game without it. My sons just picked up the game, and the mass army game War of the Ring (which was sitting on my shelf for years collecting dust). Fortunately, I have a resin 3D printer. Because I'm not worried. I gave up on GW long ago in favor of papercraft vehicles, aftermarket, or 3D printed miniatures.

When the first 10 seconds of your video goes to reacting to discourse miniatures, you lose all credibility in any argument you have

When they replace words in English they do the same thing in other languages where the words do not have the same meaning and connotation. They condemn colonialism while doing it at the same time by pushing their idea to other culture. It is even more visible in Scrabble from the same company where they list the words that cannot be used like 'jew' or 'papist' that are clearly aligned in one view of the world.

Playing hero quest were the best moments of my life. Now i just feel like shit all time 😢.

if you're interested in seeing how a female DM runs games, you should check out Aabria Iyengar

If anyone throws all the stuff i [am going to have] crafted on the floor i'm gonna take that as a declaration of waaagh.

She could have had him guess a number, 1 to 6 or even-odds or something. I do think NOT having a character sheet was a great thing. BUT I do think she's asking for too many "die" rolls.

Deborah Ann Woll is an actress. She was on True Blood and the Netflix Daredevil show. She's done some D&D APs. She's pretty good as a DM.

In my opinoin as someone that played Dungeons and Dragons BEFORE Wizards of the Coast even existed. ONLY the TSR version IS THE REAL D&D

I had a copy when it came out and I was in 7th grade and it was a new game. I was only ever able to get 2 or 3 people to even play it with me and I'm glad there are still people out there that play it

Real. You’re not alone

Fuck WOTC if those leftist bastards say that half races are “inherently racist”, they’re basically saying that interracial relationships in a fantasy world are racist, it very much shows that WOTC is clearly racist at its core just by thinking such an evil thing.

Thanks for making this video and sharing your insights. I'm curious about the original poster - do you have links to them as well?

If it's cultural appropriation for a white kid to play a ninja in D&D, then isn't it cultural appropriation for a black kid to play a knight? The answer to both is "no". All of this nonsense is about marketing. If you're black or female ( untapped buying markets to WoTC ) the message is that "You always wanted to play D&D but those old white men wouldn't let you"! "Now is your chance, go buy..I mean play because they can't stop you anymore"! The worse part is they know what it was like to be a gamer back then. They could have have given us our flowers at last. They could have called us heroes in a way for keeping the game alive despite heavy social pressure. But we're back to being the equivalent of Devil Worshipers. They chose to do that to us. Again. I hate them like I should.

Had to stop watching. I hate listening to people slurp. Please edit next time. A lot of people despise mouth noise.

Gettin my Capri Sun online!

Basic had your Race as your class if not human! 1E had no skills! 2E added skills, specialty priests and Kits(like a subclass)! 1E and 2E gave each race a list of classes and levels for that class achievable by that race! Humans could dual class, while non humans could multiclass! Each class had their own XP chart, a 2nd level mage had the same XP as a level 3 thief! 3E created a lot of the systems that other WotC D&D versions still use! 4E was the MMO style edition! D&D like most of the original TTRPG's were played by us Freaks, Geeks and other people that didn't fin in normal society which included people that are now the LGBTQIA+! Halfraces basically included Elves, Dwarves, Elemental(Genasi), Upper Planar(Aasimar) and Lower Planar(Tiefling)! 42 years of TTRPG experience! My favorite TTRPG's and systems: 1-Cypher(generic), 2-Teenagers From Outer Space(anime), 3-Gamma World 4E(not based on D&D 4E)(post apocalyptic), 4-All Flesh Must be Eaten(zombie), 5-Battlelords of the 23rd Century(sci-fi), 6-Pathfinder 1E(fantasy), 7-5E(fantasy), 8-Palladium system(generic), 9-AD&D(fantasy), 10-Shadow of the Demon Lord(sci-fantasy/horror) and 11-Star Frontiers(sci-fi)

And that clearly and perfectly illustrates why I will never again in my life put a single penny into WOTC's pockets.

You know, Dnd was never made for "nerds" , the maker went to playboy mansion regularly

Enjoy the fantasy you buy with your wallet.... it's so filled with "this reality" that there is nothing new! HAHAHAHAHHJAh

Politicization within the framework of D&D is part of its core. The issue I perceive with the current move to alter D&D is that people who doesn't care for the franchise change it to align with external politics and personal morality. D&D can be played as your own smorgasbord of political and ideological pandering and strictly mechanically with little narrative embellishment and characterization. One case in point where I disagree with the current change in D&D is the slow move away from races (Mechanically) and make them a kind of flavor. I've played ADnD, 2nd edition, 3d edition, 3.5th edition, 4th edition, and 5th edition (Which is where the move away from hard coded races begun in earnest after Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything). Now "race" is called "specie" and you pick your origin. A nice idea, if it was paired with hard coded races and added origin as a tack-on. Since D&D's conception race were a way to allow players make characters distinct from others mechanically and superficially, to force players to mind strengths and weaknesses. It is fun to play a orc Wizard or a dwarven rogue because their races isn't tailored for these classes: it's a challenge and it provides inspiration for RP. PS: They are races because they can interbreed. The moment two different 'races' can't interbreed with one another they are separate species.

The old versions of D&D were very different. It was always multicultural but did not push it so much, too much. There's too much politics in everyday life, do we need it in fantasy game?

Not sure why I watched this...I generally agree with the video creator, but this is such layer-cake of responses to responses. The video is responding to another video that's reacting to a forward and an article that are responding to D&D...I seriously have no idea how I got here...I play D&D, generally feel like WotC might go a little bit harsh on the reaction towards the less than PC stuff from thier past, but get why they are covering thier asses/prefacing the original material for new generations...this thought did not take an hour...where am I? Can I borrow a phone? Does anyone have any caprisun?...I am thirsty!

The cliam that WoTC is promoting hate isnt that big of one. One of lead the leads literally said white guys cant leave the hobby fast enough. Imagine if he said that about literally any other group of people.

Wotc is woke garbage.

Time stamp 24:06. Gary gygax and Dave arnison. Actually didn't create the d&d world that everyone knows and loves. Gary gygax created the grayhawk setting. The original d&d setting that pretty much nobody nowadays knows about. The setting that everyone nowadays knows about is the forgotten realm setting. And that was created by the Canadian Ed greenwood at the age of 6 years old and then he sold the rights to the forgotten realms after he graduated from college if I remember correctly. So no Gary and Dave did not create the world that we all know and love. Ed greenwood created the world that we all know and love.

#chatgpt in the description? You can just say you dont have talent

They want to villainize older 'Legacy Players" so we can't help younger players by pointing out when they are being exploited. They want to be left alone with the children. They are evil. ALL of them.

I met Gary gygax. He was a great person. Wizards of the coast is a trash company .

Im over 50, and I've been playing D&D since the "WhiteBooks" ..... WotC needs there heads checked...Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson are the OG's of D&D "."

WotC denouncing anyone is hilarious.

And most AI.

So is wikipedia.

WOTC are woke AF..

you got it

That is the point its as racist to hate white people as it is to hate black people

“Talentless hacks attack the giants whose shoulders they are standing on.” A tale as old as time.

I think the article has some undue criticism of what has been pointed at, but some genuine criticism does come in when you read some of the really old monster descriptions. Th original ork description was pretty racist when seen through modern understanding. That has since been backed off, and the creators were a product of their time and they both improved as people over their lives, they learned and made changes to undo those mistakes. I think it speaks to their character that they were willing to grow beyond their own ignorant views and misunderstandings. I don't know if their depictions were racially motivated or if it was just a marketing decision or if they didn't understand what that impact would have, they have grown past that. Hopefully this gives some perspective on the history of the game and it's creators.

Metatron is a identitarian. I don't think he's worth taking note of at all. Leave him in the trashpile with Shadiversity...

Instead of worrying about two dead guys writing about Hindu gods in the 70's maybe they should make an article about Smite and how it denigrate Hindu gods now adays.

I started D&D in 1980 (I was in 5th grade)! I'm running a 5E campaign in North East Japan now! You can say a lot of tropes used is a mix bag of 80's action movies/ 80's swords & sorcery/heavy metal magazine/Savage Sword of Conan. I have used some of my wartime experiences in Afghanistan & Iraq as a template for some encounters. I'm keeping it gritty and entertaining. May your rolls be natural 20!

That's terrible! They denounced Dave Arneson?!?
