White people created, play-tested, and sacrificed their time and money to bring a game concept, never imagined or created beforehand, to the public for their benefit, notwithstanding their color, creed, religion or ideology. In so doing we created an industry which, in concert with adjacent industries spawned by its advent, is worth billions of dollars today. That game was DnD and I was there at the beginning, spent hundreds of hours and many years of my time for free, while betting on that dream and endeavoring for its birth.
Those creators, Gygax, Arneson, myself, Blume and Ward were rewarded for that unselfish and stupendous feat by being called misogynists, racists, and cultural appropriators by the current owners of DnD. One of their employees actually wished that white people would disappear from the hobby.
I want to thank those fans, designers and historians who appreciate the sweeping change for good we accomplished. It means a lot to me and to my now voiceless partners in that dream who are no longer here to defend themselves from their ingrateful and vile detractors.
@jeff_gluck Austin Hill had it coming
Zane Smith wanted to be main character and wrecked himself. But let the boys have at it. Fans gotta stop being soft and screaming for penalties.
