Dungeons & Dragons Founder Robert Kuntz Blasts Wizards Of The Coast As "Disgusting Slime" For Attacking Original Creators
Robert Kuntz, one of the founders of Dungeons & Dragons, blasted Wizards of the Coast for attacking him and his fellow original creators in the preface to the recently released book, Dungeons & Dragons - the Making of Original D&D: 1970-1977.
So they're attacking the people you're trying to court as your new playerbase, got it.
Firstly, being predomintely white men is not a bad thing. Secondly..."fighting-man" is your go-to, very first example of "insensitive and derogatory language?" You fucking loser.
This coming from the 'make every woman look like a man, be a violent freak, and be gay' crowd. The "misogynists" were infinitely more respectful of women than you freaks are.
GOOD. Because that's how it would be treated, if you're in a world with active slavery. Obviously. These fuckers piss me off.
Is what you're doing right the fuck now, locust.
Why not? Also...so you removed content? Gotcha. So it's worth than useless and, if I wanted that edition, I should just go get the originals.
All I'm hearing is, yes, definitely get the old original stuff if you want to play D&D.
How many forewords do you need attacking the people who created D&D? Have some class. I know it's too much to ask, but come on...
There we go with the 'white men bad' again, no surprise. Also...it's fucking sword and sorcery, what do you expect? "D&D doesn't offer enough to people who don't like D&D!"
Yeah, no such thing, at least in this context.
Except when it isn't.
Alright, at least we get to end on an almost sensible note. Don't change history, history was real and happened. Of course, even that is still an outright attack at the original content.
"GI Joe, GI Joe; fighting man from head to toe!"
That's what I did. I never really played D&D proper, but I read some of the novels and played some of the computer games and I have appreciation for the source material. I downloaded all of the stuff from second edition and earlier from The Trove several years ago.
Modern D&D doesn't exist, it's a just Hasbro wearing The branding of the original IP like a skin suit with none of the charm or wonder
The history of the game and TSR itself is pretty interesting: did you know they were acquired by the family that owned the rights to Buck Rogers, which is why they had to push out a bunch of Buck Rogers crap towards the end of their existence? They paid royalties for using that IP too. I would prefer to read about it from an unbiased source however.
I remember the Buck Rogers boxes, but I never knew they were pushing it because of new owners. I'm trying to wrack my brain here... I think I had a friend who bought the set, but we never played it.
We did play Star Frontiers a few times, it was ok. I wonder if Star Frontiers was pushed aside so Buck Rogers would be the 'sci-fi' brand? The DM really had to put in a ton of labor for Star Frontiers. The rules were pretty bare bones. Which is both good/bad. In hindsite the settings where it's like that are usually better, you just need the rare unicorn DM that loves to write.
for the woke, it absolutely is. they hate white men and will use any doublespeak necessary to claim their persecution of white men is "fair" and "equitable". see, they're not discriminating against white men. they're "providing equity" for everyone who is literally not a white male.
