OH MY GOD. I had no idea current day D&D got this bad.


A Safe Signal in the new rules? Are you fucking kidding me?

Yeah, Hasbro/WotC-branded D&D is a total trainwreck. Thankfully there are now tons of great clone alternatives, enough to suit almost any edition/style preference combination, so you can easily vote with your dollars. There's absolutely no need to be boxed into WotC's politics when you play. As bad as branded D&D seems, it has done one good thing - helped usher in a golden age of alternative content. If you can live without your books saying "D&D" on the cover, it's actually pretty good times.
