By the 6th or 7th edition, there won't be classes, leveling, or even a combat system because it will just be a BLM manifesto.

from the comments lol

There'll be a combat system, but it'll be built around nerfing non-orc players.

Don't give a fuck about the DM's feelings. Call those conniving fucks out every time. Fight them IRL for their in-game shenanigans.

And non-orc players being forced to feel bad for beating up on orcs.

"...we are presenting a replacement for the term ‘race.’ That new term is ‘species.’”

You mean, as in, "Niggers are not part of the human 'race'. They are a separate species."

Dungeons and dragons. What an absolute waste of something that could have been huge. When world of War craft came out who ever owned d&d should have said ok its time. We will copy world of War craft but can make it in the d and d world. Every module ever made in dungeons and dragons could have been instances in the d and d game. Or thry could have allowed people to write their own and you grab people and go try to go through the dungeon masters module and they could have let the people making stuff share in the profits. It's crazy how d and d dropped the ball on so many levels.

And now they go woke and gonna go broke

Wizards of the coast has been fagging everything up for years now. Gary Gygax would glare at them sternly, or something.

The first part of the formatting process that performs basic medium preparation is often referred to as "low-level formatting".[1] Partitioning is the common term for the second part of the process, dividing the device into several sub-devices and, in some cases, writing information to the device allowing an operating system to be booted from it.[1][2] The third part of the process, usually termed "high-level formatting" most often refers to the process of generating a new file system.[1] In some operating systems all or parts of these three processes can be combined or repeated at different levels[3] and the term "format" is understood to mean an operation in which a new disk medium is fully prepared

I'm fine with separating by species instead of race.

This is the opposite of what their intent is... to program youth the see speciation instead of racial differences.

“Certain races are ‘inherently evil,’ and their actions always pursue goals of cruel intent,” wrote Whittle in March of this year. “Players are trained from the start to expect evil intent from goblins, barbarism from orcs, or kindness from elves.

We aren’t trained for this observation, it’s natural instinct- same as crossing to the other side of the street if a nigger is in your path.
There aren’t nigger elves or white orcs for an obvious reason.

Replacing "race" with "species".

You know, if they weren't doing it because they are woke commie fucks, I probably would say that it actually makes sense.

Dwarves, Elves, Humans, Halflings, Orcs, Niggers... All different species.

Drow, High elves, Wood Elves... Different races of the same species.

2nd Edition is still the best edition. Fight me.

I'm currently working on an alternative called Graveyards and Golems (subject to change but I think it works) where race is more than just a minor stat bump and your sex affects your stats and abilities as well. Will let you fags know when it's playable in probably 6-12 months.
