Hell, just Final Fantasy Magic cards to begin with. They are circling the drain and trying to find anything to hold on. They got rid of their gamers who were always there for them for tourists, woke activists, and theater kids. Now that the tourists are leaving they are finding out the woke activists and theater kids don't pay for shit. So now they're trying to see making it a girl brand will work. (Like that work when Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, LOTR, etc.)

me on the bottom

seriously though? RPG players (especially in the heroic fantasy space) are shifting away from their hex-and-dungeon-crawl roots towards a somewhat nieve form of collaborative story and narrativist vibe.

this is bad news for hasbro since D&D is not designed for that and struggles to accomodate it. to stick with the tree metaphor, the light has moved and the plant is growing to follow it, but it can only go so far before it uproots itself. the confused state of the current design direction is just a symptom of that

Yeah, anon, no one is paying for this (other than all the people paying for this). What were they thinking? They should have listened to a random fa/tg/uy instead and lost their money instead, that would be good business sense.

I've never even played magic but every single time it or DnD are brought up on this board people feel the knee to brazenly lie about how well they do, just to virtue signal about not liking the thing they're meant to not like. Then, despite the lies being disproven by an easy Google search, people just nod along.

You're not stupid. DnD isn't mentioned as often as Magic in their earning reports, and their numbers are rarely as specific. It's known that Magic makes way, way more money than it, so it could be the case that the sales are just negligible next to MtG. It could be that the brand is failing, but it's still the biggest tabletop game so I don't entirely buy that one. I doubt Hasbro will feel inclined to elaborate any time soon.

The problem with alternative systems is that they are made by geeks for geeks, as a result the systems often have no PR or publishers do not capitalize on the surge in popularity if it does occur. The latest example of this is Cyberpunk. Also noticed the same mistake that is repeated over and over again - geeks forget that most people do not play board games and therefore cannot invent their own campaigns or encounters. As a result, in this aspect most systems are a complete 0. Just look at the number of modules and campaigns for DnD and compare it to all other systems, and it becomes clear why DnD is so popular.

HRE existed on the crossroads of east and west, and mining that for all it was worth financially was the only reason the dirkas remained relevant as long as they did. Then the Europeans decided sailing around Africa was less bother and it was all downhill from there. (For Venice, too, until they were truly killed by Corsican Hitler.)

Implying the cosmopolitanism of the Med and North Africa was the norm is disingenuous at best, maliciously deceptive at worst.

I always kind of liked how Greyhawk included dark skinned people

Flannish tribes were the original inhabitants of hte Flanaess until they got conquered by the Oeridians and Suel. Then they just kind of mixed in with the general populace and some stayed in their own tribes practicing druidic magic. The Flan aren't really black people in anything but appearance, their culture is like a mix of Native Americans and Picts.

Then you have the Olman and Touv which exist, but live in distant far off lands like the Amedio Jungle and Hepmonaland. I even have my own headcanon reason for why the nigger word exists. I'm just unsure if my Ghosts of Saltmarsh table will like it even if most are chuds.

The latest Taylor Swift album is titled “Life of a Showgirl”, so WotC, being a profit-oriented corporation paying a marketing team to tap into the cultural zeitgeist, posted a piece of art trying to tie D&D to something mainstream and popular. The image depicts a scene from a D&D campaign in which several characters, presumably player characters, have disguised themselves as showgirls in a theater or club, presumably as part of a larger heist or scheme, which has apparently gone awry and broken out into violence.

I'm sick and tired of faggots pretending that Dungeons & Dragons style fantasy isn’t based on Europe.

You use medieval and renaissance European weapons, armor, clothing, etc. You use European mythological and religious creatures. Fantasy religions are inspired by European religions. Fantasy countries are rules by European inspired Feudal lords or Republican Empires based on Rome or Greek style city states/kingdoms. 99% of fantasy background art shows European style buildings, fortifications, etc. Even the climate and nature is almost always based on Europe. If food is mentioned it’s all European with some new-world fruits and veggies thrown in, so basically European food after the 15th century.

But God forbid you respect the people who you take inspiration from. They are white so they don't deserve to have their culture respected.

Is very weighted toward Europe but there is also middle east (let alone that the LG churches etc are very Judeo-Christian).
There is a lot of stuff like Phoenix Djinn Sphyinx etc which are NA-levant inspired.
There are Orient Adventures expansions in most edition (but then again this re-affirm the original geographical inspirations).
There is also a lot of stuff exotic in the equipment like weapons - but then again the "base" is considered euro-centric.

So yeah, but less exclusively than you think.

The whole ethos of older editions is very "American" tho, in the sense that there is a "frontier".

Why would you need melanin differences to be carefully explained tough? I mean in Faerun most races are created by the gods, aren't they? Why wouldn't they be created as pretty much skin-different in the same localities? Elves didn't (I think) but that's hardly an explanation.

I mean, if people are butthurt about there not being enough white people, that's fine, but I don't see any internal logic requesting to ape our world haplogroups differentiation or something.

Genuine question for unironic leftists here. Why do you willingly tie the millstone that is black people around your neck? Black people will never, ever, ever be grateful no matter how many 16 hour days you put in on 4chud defending them. They will never be class conscious. They WILL betray you the nanosecond the ruling class buys them off. I know many leftists are smarter than this so I ask you why you devote so much time and energy to willingly dancing on billionaire strings falling for every possible diversion and race bait they throw at you.

>They will never be class conscious. They WILL betray you the nanosecond the ruling class buys them off.
The ruling class has no incentive to buy black people off. For decades elites have realised it's much more effective to subvert and erode black culture and communities and make them a point of conflict for white people. They will bever be class conscious if no one makes an effort based on some 4chan glowie saying "hey these guys will never help you don't ally with them!!!!"

Then next time you're running a game set in Not!Africa, have a bunch of lily-white men and women gallivanting about in native garb and reciting ancestral ownership of the land. Barring that, when your GM is running a game set in Not!Africa, play the white man who is explicitly not a foreigner, and has a native name and native mannerisms to prove it.

I tell you to do this because I've never seen it personally done, myself. I've never been in a campaign where the GM actually used the "canon" art for their characters, I've never seen one that didn't steal Danbooru tokens or pinterest pieces. I've never had to suffer through a black man in 1060 Stockholm because my GM isn't a fucking retard who needs The Book to inform every decision they make at the table.
>Okay but what about the black exa -
Where? Can you actually name three - no, two - popular "official" modules that take place in Not!Africa? Strength of Thousands is the only one I can think of, and even that one is mired in the Black Lives Matter mania that gripped the leftosphere throughout the early 2020s. It's not a popular place to put your campaigns because, despite everything the elites have done to make us forget it, our roots are in European mythology and storytelling, and anything set "over there" is *at best* a novelty. So of course, since WotC are still eager to sell books and recognize who their playerbase is, the only way to actually *give* black people in their games would be to shove them into Not!Europe.

And this is really only a WotC issue, dude. Paizo are a bunch of lesbian-loving weirdos but 95% of human characters in their APs are ethnically appropriate. Cubicle 7 inserted some black people in the early days of WHFRP 4e but they stopped that 2+ years ago. Just stop consume WotC slop.
