That is a great attitude towards everything DnD stands for, don’t lose it. Theres been a great deal of controversy this year, because the executives at wotc/hasbro believe that owning a popular brand like DnD means they’re entitled to shitloads of money, so they’re attempting to turn it into a cash cow, completely alienating the long standing community
There was some sort of QnA with the important WOTC people for some DnD influencers not too long ago, where they confirmed they never played and politely declined a room full of experienced DMs that wanted to run a game for them… Don’t remembrr what the event was, but I think it was this sumner
