Part 2 Acomi and Turk182 continue their discussion on the announcement by Wizards of the Coast (WOTC), publishers of the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying games, that they are removing racial lore, attributes, and alignments from the coming 6th Edition. No longer will Orcs be carnivorous, unkempt, beasts that live to fight and would eat a human raw if it took more than five minutes to cook them. Now, they can be peaceful, vegan, fat-free soap makers that travel from town to town preaching love and meditation. Dwarves are no longer drunks with battleaxes. Trolls are no longer greedy. Centaurs are normally endowed. Characters will not be bound by their history and culture and geographic location. Festivals where attendees show up in Drow-face will be against the law. Leash laws no longer apply to manticores. Male RPGers will still be able to play as overly buxom, hyper-overly sexual women, but it will be frown upon. They're also removing "inappropriate" magic items such as Hefner's Girdle of Charm, which gives +5 charisma, but -2 intelligence. The changes WOTC is enforcing are uncalled for. Meaning nobody called for this! RPGs give players the freedom to play any race, class, and alignment as they see fit. Removing the lore destroys character traits, rips the heart out of the worlds, and reduces everything to a grey palette where everyone is potentially equal, and removes incentive to play and race but human. Acomi and Turk discuss why addressing real life issues in a fantasy world is ridiculous and unnecessary. Not to mention making a mockery of true racial issues. #OMTWF #Acomi #Turk182 #KorovaEntertainment #Wizards #WizardsoftheCoast #WOTC #DnD #GaryGygax #roleplay #RPG #HelmofDisintegration #Paladin #BlackGuy Follow Acomi on Twitter at @AcomiDraws and on Instagram at AcomiDraws.
