Recently, I watch this video from "Diversity & Dragons" and I never realized it was "this" bad. He might be a smaller content creator but he spits pure facts in this video.

This guy touched on a lot of stuff he pulled from Twitter and one thing I want to make clear, all of these people I am about to highlight are affiliated with Hasbro/WotC in one form or another . . . some are editors, writers, executives and content creators. They publically say stuff that is pure racist and WotC/Hasbro lets them get away with it, and as a matter of fact Hasbro/WotC does its best to go along with these people and what they say. It's disgusting and embarrassing. It's bad enough with how WotC/Hasbro tried to redo the OGL to screw everyone over, sure they backed down but only because the entire community rose up against them and forced them to back down. It's just sad how this game has went down the toilet.

These are just a few of the tweets that were found on Twitter. Dominique Dickey posted a couple of tweets here and here. How much of a racist can someone be?

Then you have Sadie Lowrie who assisted as a writer for Call of the Netherdeep making tweets like this. I send her a tweet asking her about her tweet and this is the reply I got from her. Instead of explaining herself, she blocks me. Typical racist hiding from what she has done. The exact same thing happened with Sarah Madsen . . . when I sent her a tweet about these tweets that she made and I got another reply just like I got from Sadie Lowry.

Lets look at Makenzie De Armas with her tweet or how the one and only Christopher Perkins tweeted this and to think, it pretty much all started with this from Kyle Brinks. Now the latest news is WotC is saying they are removing the Half Elf and Half Orc races or half ANYTHING from D&D because it's racist. It's just gotten out of control. I have been playing Dungeons & Dragons since it was called Basic D&D, hell . . . even before Basic, back when it was called Chain Mail and I've never been this dusgusted with a game, it's people and it's company than I am right now.

Sure, myself and my group had originally planned to get into 5th edition D&D . . . until now. With that being sad, I want to make one thing perfectly clear, I'll never buy another product from WotC. I simply cannot handle everything that is going on with the current state of Dungeons & Dragons right now. You know . . . back when we played classic edition Dungeons & Dragons, we didn't have all this drama, it was all about the game and we had one community that stuck together. It's simply not like that anymore. This game is a mess. We are now 100% an Old-School Essentials Advanced Fantasy gaming group.

So, we are heading back to the classic way of playing, we are diving into Old-School Essentials Advanced Fantasy. This way I will never have to buy anything from WotC/Hasbro and I will be free from D&D Beyond. I pretty much own every single thing that was ever printed from Basic D&D to 2nd edition D&D anyways so this allows us to go into "free to play" mode. I feel good about this move, it's been a crazy 3-4 months trying to decide what we were going to do but with the above video showing the true nature of WotC/Hasbro this decision seems perfect for us. Goodbye WotC, we are headed back to the good ole TSR days.
