"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly."
No more gray morality.
Retake the Myth.
Reclaim the Fairy Tale.

I'll go ahead and get this controversial statement out of the way, a few years in advance..
D&D ran by AI, is not real D&D.

The skill to run zero prep means that when you are at a friend's house, unprepared, they surprise you that they have bought D&D, and they want you to DM.
Do you say "oh no I haven't prepared" or do you know how to run D&D?
That's all it comes down to.

Dungeons and Dragons is not a spectator sport.
Once priority shifts to making the table more spectator friendly, the integrity of the game can easily be compromised.

If I have learned anything from reading weird fantasy, it is that you don't have to explain the reason for why something exists. You just have to explain it as a matter of fact.
A sorcerer throws a saddle on a giant moth and flies off? Seems legit and I don't need to know more.

Wotc is missing out by ignoring the Old School.
It is entirely possible to have 2 separate D&D lineups selling alongside one another.

Journeying into the heart of the unknown.
I heard that they had rational world building inside.

You were always supposed to create your own worlds and your own settings.
You were never intended to just play along with the latest adventure books.

WoTC lost sight of what D&D is supposed to be imo.
Releases happening are just falling flat and no one cares anymore. People would have killed for some of these books 5-7 years ago.
5e isn't moving the monetary needle anymore, and now the official D&D account is promoting 2e.

Humanocentric D&D is the best D&D.
The further you stray from this, the more you cheapen everything else.

"5e has a DM crisis"
Bro, with D&D beyond, a large chunk of players can't even be bothered to read the Players Handbook, let alone anything beyond the bare minimum.

We received Castles and Crusades for the highschool games.
Troll Lord as a company are very good hearted people.
No one else was willing to do what they did, and they do it in private. Not for attention.
If any company deserves your support it is Troll Lord.

I wonder if it is encouraged behavior of @Wizards_DnD employees to harass fans and then block anyone that has a nuanced disagreement with them?

For as much as Tolkien is mentioned in the same breath as D&D... Surprisingly, there is a lack of conversation centered around how exactly to go about executing Tolkien style gaming within D&D.

Conversely, I think a TPK by goblin ambush is a fantastic introduction to D&D.
Eh, it's okay, but I would advise some small adjustment for the early stages. I've played it once, and our party got TPK'd by the goblin ambush because of sheer bad luck, which is never a good experience especially when this module is meant to introduce players who are new to 5e.

The administration office thought it was silly that we were creating a D&D club
The secretary kept looking at me and trying to figure me out. Jock looking guy, hosting D&D.. It broke her brain I think
Yes I enjoy D&D, I'm a husband and father of 2, and I squat over 300 lbs.

Every time I talk about how Gary Gygax had a lot of good points..
Inevitably, people take that as a green light to talk poorly about him.
I think there is a ton to learn from the advice Gary has left us with.

I still prefer Howard over Tolkien. I understand it is a preference thing, but I think it is something to chew on.
Especially when taking D&D into consideration.

"Fairy tale does not deny the existence of sorrow and failure: the possibility of these is necessary to the joy of deliverance. It denies (in the face of much evidence, if you will) universal final defeat..."
In the end, we win.
No black pills.
Reclaim the Fairy Tale.
