I've spent about a year or so trying to learn how to play DnD. One thing I've learned is: Never play DnD with someone you wouldn't be willing to go on a road trip with.
I think it's obvious but time and time again it needs to be said: The whole game is about social interaction between players and their pretend-characters and themes can vary and change on a very large scale. So it should be obvious to realize that the playgroup should be on the same mindset about many different topics. Especially humor and basic decency and politeness. You road trip comparison is spot on.
Well, to be fair, us 70s and 80s kids were hiding in the basements trying to play without anyone knowing we were playing. The Satanic Panic forced a lot of games into the basements, so it was difficult getting new players. Then with all the negative press and the automatic bullying we received, that didn't help with recruitment either. I'm glad the kids can do their thing and be allowed to do their thing. The modern game isn't 100% my game, but I can play whatever edition I like.
Original DND kids made some of the best Role Playing Games we've ever seen. Most games companies from the 90's were full of DND fans. Now it's just Tumblr fanfic.
@@circlingoverland4364 If you use the 2024 books then yes, Orcs are now Mexican, Dwarves are gay baker's visiting their husbands in the forge with child labor, and consent forms are real but current character sheets are not.
I spent some of my youth in the 80's playing all night ADD with my friends. Some of the best times of my life, we had a great party, nerds and jocks, Asians and whites, paladins, bards, thieves and magic users. At no time did it feel exclusive in any way. Now, I wouldn't even dare play the game.
OMG! Someone played an AD&D bard? WTF? Like a Fighter / Magic User but from Wish, who wants to bang everything. Bards started out as the Harpers of forgotten realms, who were a secret organization of spies who often traveled as bards and minstrels. They were NPC only and had *insane* stat requirements. Then the players wanted to play OP bards and ... here we are. "I perform to give you a +1 situational bonus!" "I try to bang the dragon!"
WoTC won't abandon its use or they give up the trademark. This is when their social justice/virtue signaling end and their hypocrisy begins, when it comes to their own property.
EXACTLY, It's YOUR game (ussually), if someone offers a game you don't like as a player, leave, if they don't like what you want to play if you're the DM, THEY can leave. THere's older editions you can use and plenty of unique settings you can try and play with like Pathfinder, Curse of Straud, Call Of Cathulu, or whatever others exist. (I don't play D&D but these are a few I've heard of from horror story channels.)
Yes and no. If you have an established group - yes. If you liked conventions and open meetings (like I did for 30 years) then no. Because the woke infection has turned that into a dying mess
@JimiGosu the new handbook literally states this very thing. That the rules aren't dogmatic but just guidelines that each table of players can tweek to suit their enjoyment.
I am part of group that started playing in the 80s. and this is LITERALLY the first time I have heard of this things.....If it was not for the "we didn`t make this up" I would have thought it was parody (we simply disconected in the 2000s and have been adding our own rules, instead of buying new set of rules) Tomorrow I have a sesion, and totally intend to use the "safe sign".........just to have a good laugh!
To be fair though, a list of what you are and aren't comfortable with is a good idea if your playing with new people. Simple things like if you comfortable with bloody descriptions, love interests, or certain type of horror are smart thing to at least briefly talk about, just to make sure everyone is on the same page. (i agree a lot of the stuff on the list is unnecessary and stupid though)
@@reev3417 Yea, I agree with most what was said in video. Make session 0, say what you want from the game, what makes you uncomfortable and internet will lose a lot of stories of "terrible games/disaster parties".
@@Just_a-guyalternatively, you can just man up and play the game. Personally, I’ve used people being “uncomfortable with fantasy scenarios” as a great way to refine your group and get the problem players out of it.
@@joangalt6270I remember playing D&D in the late 70s thru the 80s. We had so much fun... So many 2 liters of soda, bags of chips, and beef jerky 🤤. I miss those days sometimes.
There are still great tabletop RPGs out there, just not officially called D&D. Check out Shadowdark RPG, Dragonslayer or Basic Fantasy for games with no politics and old school vibes.
My buddy and I just started playing D&D again after 25 years. We go to a local place and pay $5 each for an introductory session. The 19 year old DM hands everyone a card with a red X on it which was to be used in case we said anything offensive. Me and my buddy looked at each other and started cracking up, only to have the group stare at us like we just blasted fire out of our azz. Needless to say we never went back but found an old school essentials group that rocks.
@@Doomwolf82002 potato of screaming. Once obtained you can only get rid of it by giving it to a player character. It follows you everywhere screaming. Is also immortal. Permanent sneak debuff. Permanent talking debuff. Player character has to scream to talk due to noise from the screaming potato. If cut, both halves regenerate a new half and now you have 2 full screaming potatos. If eaten you will constantly hear a muffled scream until character gos to the bathroom. Create by teaching fresh potato gender politics
No joke..I haven't played since 3.5 and I joined up with a local game store group (playing 5th edition) and the 1st session.. the 1ST session.. we had to work with collecting ingredients to make makeup for a tiefling dressed in drag. We also had a player that introduced themselves with their pronouns.. and their character's pronouns. No one was shocked or confused except me. I thought I came to play in a fantasy world, not come and play in a real life woke world.
A DND character having pronouns is the most hypocritical thing ever. They say gender isn't real so you should just introduce the character for what it is. In order for distinct pronouns to exist, there has to be an objective gender the character is born as. I have a trans colleague and I asked him what his games are like and literally all they do is talk about gender, how much they hate capitalism, and how great socialism is. This is real.
This has been happening for years now. I graduated last year, and I was in DnD club for both middle school AND high school, never got to play a single campaign. It literally dissolved into all my classmates saying “you can’t do that.” In a role playing game. About killing monsters.
@@ehb002 the above comment says it's not real....I can't believe I'm even having to ask if it's parody or not...btw I'm old enough to still have lead miniatures from the 1980's and we used to have our adventurers go to tavern and if they failed a roll against drunkenness they had another roll where they had a chance to sleep with the buxom bar girl at the cost of getting a nasty debuffing STD....That would deffo need an "x card" now
The character was a bit inconsistent, though, wasn't she? First she roled her eyes like she doesn't even want to be there, then suddenly she was all about the game and the new rules. Didn't really fit, imo.
"No strength bonus, no constition bonus, how many hit points does she have?" Those that know the quote will get it. If not, just and ask and I can point you in the correct direction.
I had not played any of these games in probably 20 years. Two months ago I was asked to join a game and I said sure. There was a safety meeting before the first game session. I asked the DM if we were doing a LARP because I had no clue why there could be a safety meeting before a game session. He explained it was for basically the topic of this video safe signs, topics that might offend or trigger, etc. I politely just disconnected with that group of people. If you need safety for your table top game I don't want to be around you.

In the late 1980s, or maybe it was the early 1990s; this is over half a lifetime ago; I lived in Bath and played AD&D with a group of friends we had got together via a local gaming shop. One best DM I known and great player, was disabled and in a wheelchair, and in a conversation in a pub after a few too many drinks, someone asked how we got into AD&D. My friend said when younger it let me make friends, then it got heavy very quickly; it let me forget; I could escape the wheelchair as my character, and at the table we are all the same. And what see in game now would take this away
That does make you think. Like in a friend group you just say you ain't about that stuff and everyone kind of comes to a compromise or resolution. These rules sound like they're for people who've never talked to another person before.
@@kaity663pretty sure that is in fact the working definition of “woke,” and included in the definition of “Democrat,” and the phrase “updated for modern audiences.” Come on! It’s set in medieval times and there are “transgenders?” What, you think people were wearing a garlic polstace on their nuts and putting leeches on their taint trying to become a bar wench? The closest were eunuchs, and that was generally done in Africa and the Middle East to retain slaves while wiping out future generations of enemy populations at the same time. What garbage!
Yep, this stuff is real. -Races are now called species. Species do not have inherit attribute bonuses or penalties, because we're all equal. Dwarves can be just as agile as elves, etc. These people can't distinguish between fantasy races and the inherit equality of people in the real world. -Speaking of races... err, species, none are inherently evil other than the living dead. That includes beholders and mind flayers, who eat sentient species' brains and inject their larvae in them to reproduce. This change largely stems from accusations that both orcs and drow were bigoted stand-ins for people of African descent. In D&D, orcs are sort of barbarian pig people with grayish skin. Drow have pitch black skin and white hair, and are some of the most advanced people on the planet. Both were evil, and somehow, despite their vast differences, they were both ugly stereotypes of real world people of African descent. So, no more evil... species (caught myself that time). -Disabled adventurers! There's a module for a wheelchair friendly dungeon. Yep, an OSHA compliant dungeon. A friend of mine sent me a two-pack of official D&D miniatures (he did it to piss me off); they're clerics in wheelchairs. Note that D&D clerics of sufficient level should actually be able to cure about any ailment that would land you in a wheelchair. No offense to disabled people, of course, but D&D now doesn't understand that people want an adventure divorced from our reality and our limitations. -Finally, those RPG consent forms are real. D&D doesn't appear to make one, but they do promote them. I suggest you google one, they're pretty funny. There's some disturbing stuff on there, but there's also trigger warnings about deep water, dolls, and classism.
@drewfuller8660 gona call you out and point out how species is just a more accurate term. When players can be a bug person, a sentient slime, a cat person, a human, or whatever other vaguely humanoid shaped creature (or non). Then species is just far more accurate of a term. Getting hung up on the term "races" just shows youre more playing into race politics than they are. Having your buffs tied to your background makes more sense too because by what measure should an orc mage be ass buff as an orc soldier when they spent their entire lives in a library and not the battlefield? Plus it just allows for more build options and combos mechanicely speaking.
@drewfuller8660 as for your other ramblings, getting pissed off at the existence of wheelchair minis is quite the self report. If your imaginary world of dragons and sexy elf girls gets broken because their is a ramp instead of stairs (which from a construction point of view is just more feasible for moving materials anyway) then that's a you problem, not the game.
@@tylerhaynes4841 Race has always been a term that can mean bloodline/culture. If you read Tolkien or a lot of stuff from decades before D&D was written and influenced by it felt thematically appropriate to a fantasy setting. Species sounds too modern and technical for fantasy.

My favorite part of this sketch was them getting triggered by the word "fight" but proceeded to say they're "fighting" not more than 10 seconds later and are perfectly fine with it due to the context.

@kaity663 no the problem is definately these signs and these beliefs that we should oppress free speech. It's absolutely ridiculous. All it leads to is more and more oppression..... we don't live in a dictatorship. No one has the right to tell anyone what they can and can't say. As stated above by the initial comment as the same sentance can sometimes be okay and sometimes it can't it means that whatever being said is okay for some but not for others. Even the person who isn't comfortable talking about the think is avoiding their own personal issues and spreading it to others by avoiding the issue inside. Really they need to go to see a therapist and deal with the issue that is bothering them.
Eveyrone just make pre-game contracts disclaimers that expressly ban anyone who has triggers or claims to be a non-bigot, non-raysist, non-secsyst.

Went to my local game store after a couple years to try out DMing and playing in an Adventurer’s League. The manager of the League introduced themselves, gave me their pronouns of they/them, then asked me what mine is. I was so confused. You can’t tell by looking at my beard and biker jacket? And there were kids there too. It just felt so weird. Never went back to that LGS after. I do miss the prior used to that visit. DMing stuff like Mines of Phandelver and Tiamat was fun.

"Are you sure this is D&D?" LOL...perfect. While I get the parody, the new rule books make it clear that Wizards of the Coast has fully embraced the idiocy of the Woke religion. We could all see it coming years ago. I wonder if I can roll up a Cleric of Woke? I can't wait for my "Petulant Stomp of Cancelation" spell. Here's a prediction: D&D will have to reverse course due to a collapse in sales of their new edition.
Idk about "woke" religion but I know very well actual religion was mighty pissed about the game 40 years ago so maybe you just haven't noticed the game being that way for all these years?
@dotdot5906 I remember. I played the original blue and red boxes in high school and recall the absolute panic about "devil worship" and the like. It was ridiculous. But the difference was that TSR, and then WotC didn't bend to that idiocy because they had a great product. In the current version, they've become the idiocy as they, like so many other companies, have bowed to woke pressure. I think that tide is turning, however.
@@BreenBreen710 Woke: Sensitivity forms, safe spaces, safe signs, being triggered by the fact that there are races and genders in a fantasy game, being too much of a pansy to handle someone having a different opinion than you, etc. But most of all, it's wishing harm or ill fortune on someone who voted for Trump because they prioritized their ability to put food on the table over your delusions.

1. Not the most popular among those who actively play D&D. 2. Nowhere even close to the longest lived. 3. Purported (again, by those who play D&D) to be one of the worst editions every released. 4. "Revised" for a reason....the original 5th ed was pathetically poorly cobbled together. As for BB's "take", well, the stigma of TTRPGs being something only "nerds" and "dorks" can get into seems to persist to this day...tho I will say this particular skit, while scathing for it's social commentary on the idiocy of "woke" inclusionary idiocy, isn't really even close to a real session...but then again, you won't get anything real on YT.

This is such a great video!! I’m a 53 year old DM. I will not drop one cent for the 2024 books. I also make it clear when I DM that our adventures will be PG-13 in language, R in violence and terror, and that the game is more fun when everyone agrees that getting butt-hurt means leaving the group. I raised my 3 boys on D&D. As adults none of them are satanists OR leftists…wait…is there a difference?
The book is basically just saying to for example, raise your hand, or say "Hey gang," or any number of less visibly outrageous and stupid signals than the weird X with their heads retracted into their ribcages that they're doing in this video.

@@xxxlonewolf49 You're telling me that your GM has never asked you what kind of quest you want to go on? That's what the paper is. It's Game Expectations. AKA, what you want to be doing in the game.

It's not an accident that they target certain things, the demographic of people that played D&D etc are the real focus, they do not care about the game, they care about who is playing it. These people are evil, true evil.

I tried joining groups in high school and college expecting a similar experience and got extreme tonal whiplash.

@raul0ca I think out of all of those Pathfinder is the only one I've kind of looked at, and I don't believe that it rubs your face into how woke it is. I've been playing another tabletop game called Fabula Ultima, and even though it is a little woke, it doesn't really force it on you, so you can just ignore it. I also play a D100 system called Comae and that one is pretty generic. They don't really do anything wrong there.

@@alextalarico959 It's true. They also blamed D&D being a bad game for bad people on it being made by, and for, "White middle-class men". It's all straight up in the new 50th anniversary PHB.
As someone who has been playing D&D since AD &D 2nd Ed. I fully support this message. Honestly since 4th ed the game has gone downhill, 5th originally had potential but they screwed up. In fact I'd love to see a game that mixes the pros of 2nd ed such as weapon speed with 3rd ed. The game lost it's ways when it went woke.
I'd love to see a restoration of true high level play that WotC took from players. BECMI had 134 levels, and the big prize for completing them was the chance to become a Great Old One.
Lol, safe signs are only really important for people who go heavily into role playing. A simple dunegeon crawl usually doesn't need safe signs. But if all at the table are into serious stories, then depictions of abuse might occur and it's okay to not always be up for that in the context of a game... A person who just lost their dog might not want to hear about a dog being killed in detail. It's okay to communicate that.
This is why you gatekeep your hobbies, people! The community is already bad enough, but WotC are also adopting their corrupt mindset as well! Set standards, and don't let "tourists" ruin your hobby!
People like this actual exist. A buddy had a game he was running was completely imploded when a (s)he/he(r) playing in the game got offended when another buddy called kobolds "yipping dogs".🤣
@@mikitta47 🤓Well actually Japanese kobolds are dogs. 🤣 On a serious note somewhere described the kobold language to sound like barking, so they've always been "yipping dogs" to my group.
Wow. I used to play back in the day and these new rules are just nuts. Fortunately, you can screen to avoid these people by asking what edition they play.
I'm sorry did you mean gender marker? Do you have a fucking panic attack every time you see the word xylophone because the X reminds you of the crossed hammers??? Jesus fucking christ dude. If you actually got time with the members of Pink Floyd they'd despise you; you're the exact person they were standing up against.
I love dnd, I’m glad that it’s so customizable so that I don’t have to deal with all this. I just got my friends to play it so I don’t have to deal with the community.
I was wondering why this was so good. I was thinking, "these guys have actually played D&D haven't they?" Then it pipped up that this is actually in the new rulebook and I realized, this isnt them in the past, this is still them today and I find it hilarious and great. Keep it up folks.
This couldn't have been made at a better time! I'm planning more sessions for my friends. My friend is a human fighter named William. He's racist against gnomes.
I've never played before but started learning the 5e rules JUST in time for the 2024 Woke Edition handbooks to drop. My friend is going to DM and he told me "We're not playing the woke rules. We're doing 5e with extra racism to balance out the universe" 😂
In a word with such different races it would be retarded not to have racism. Who doesnt love the orc hating elf, the elf hating dwarf, ect. It's a great trope for storytelling
What rules should they add to the next edition of D&D?
All characters cannot be Caucasian
No Marxists are allowed to produce it? So pissed. Great skit though guys, as always.

I've spent about a year or so trying to learn how to play DnD. One thing I've learned is: Never play DnD with someone you wouldn't be willing to go on a road trip with.
Download any OSR and you know D&D.
Sound advice.
I think it's obvious but time and time again it needs to be said: The whole game is about social interaction between players and their pretend-characters and themes can vary and change on a very large scale. So it should be obvious to realize that the playgroup should be on the same mindset about many different topics. Especially humor and basic decency and politeness. You road trip comparison is spot on.
This guy knows what it's about.
Doesn't that apply to... everything?
Imagine a world where the D&D kids from the 80's would look at the D&D kids of today and think "you are too weird to play with us".
Crazy times.
Well, to be fair, us 70s and 80s kids were hiding in the basements trying to play without anyone knowing we were playing.
The Satanic Panic forced a lot of games into the basements, so it was difficult getting new players.
Then with all the negative press and the automatic bullying we received, that didn't help with recruitment either.
I'm glad the kids can do their thing and be allowed to do their thing. The modern game isn't 100% my game, but I can play whatever edition I like.

Fortunately, we are free to ignore whatever rules we want in DnD. No need to use the new handbook.
EXACTLY, It's YOUR game (ussually), if someone offers a game you don't like as a player, leave, if they don't like what you want to play if you're the DM, THEY can leave. THere's older editions you can use and plenty of unique settings you can try and play with like Pathfinder, Curse of Straud, Call Of Cathulu, or whatever others exist. (I don't play D&D but these are a few I've heard of from horror story channels.)
Yes and no. If you have an established group - yes.
If you liked conventions and open meetings (like I did for 30 years) then no. Because the woke infection has turned that into a dying mess

No joke..I haven't played since 3.5 and I joined up with a local game store group (playing 5th edition) and the 1st session.. the 1ST session.. we had to work with collecting ingredients to make makeup for a tiefling dressed in drag. We also had a player that introduced themselves with their pronouns.. and their character's pronouns. No one was shocked or confused except me. I thought I came to play in a fantasy world, not come and play in a real life woke world.
Woke world IS a fantasy world.
I don't see the issue with mentioning character pronouns (especially when playing as the opposite sex). But the drag thing could be a little much yea.
Well, woke people actually live in a fantasy World. 😂
The problem is they want everybody to act the same way. 😑
A DND character having pronouns is the most hypocritical thing ever. They say gender isn't real so you should just introduce the character for what it is. In order for distinct pronouns to exist, there has to be an objective gender the character is born as.
I have a trans colleague and I asked him what his games are like and literally all they do is talk about gender, how much they hate capitalism, and how great socialism is. This is real.
I actually think a lot of the woke insanity comes from people to didn’t play enough make-believe games when they were kids!
This has been happening for years now. I graduated last year, and I was in DnD club for both middle school AND high school, never got to play a single campaign. It literally dissolved into all my classmates saying “you can’t do that.” In a role playing game. About killing monsters.

I had not played any of these games in probably 20 years. Two months ago I was asked to join a game and I said sure. There was a safety meeting before the first game session. I asked the DM if we were doing a LARP because I had no clue why there could be a safety meeting before a game session. He explained it was for basically the topic of this video safe signs, topics that might offend or trigger, etc. I politely just disconnected with that group of people. If you need safety for your table top game I don't want to be around you.
Yup, safety is a good spot check for a rogue who's thinking about popping that big chest that's either full of loot or a nasty trap for the unwary.

In the late 1980s, or maybe it was the early 1990s; this is over half a lifetime ago; I lived in Bath and played AD&D with a group of friends we had got together via a local gaming shop. One best DM I known and great player, was disabled and in a wheelchair, and in a conversation in a pub after a few too many drinks, someone asked how we got into AD&D. My friend said when younger it let me make friends, then it got heavy very quickly; it let me forget; I could escape the wheelchair as my character, and at the table we are all the same. And what see in game now would take this away
Original D&D: get together with friends to have fun playing a game.
Modern D&D: get together with allies to discuss who's more offended. 🙄

@@kaity663pretty sure that is in fact the working definition of “woke,” and included in the definition of “Democrat,” and the phrase “updated for modern audiences.”
Come on! It’s set in medieval times and there are “transgenders?” What, you think people were wearing a garlic polstace on their nuts and putting leeches on their taint trying to become a bar wench? The closest were eunuchs, and that was generally done in Africa and the Middle East to retain slaves while wiping out future generations of enemy populations at the same time.
What garbage!
Yep, this stuff is real.
-Races are now called species. Species do not have inherit attribute bonuses or penalties, because we're all equal. Dwarves can be just as agile as elves, etc. These people can't distinguish between fantasy races and the inherit equality of people in the real world.
-Speaking of races... err, species, none are inherently evil other than the living dead. That includes beholders and mind flayers, who eat sentient species' brains and inject their larvae in them to reproduce. This change largely stems from accusations that both orcs and drow were bigoted stand-ins for people of African descent. In D&D, orcs are sort of barbarian pig people with grayish skin. Drow have pitch black skin and white hair, and are some of the most advanced people on the planet. Both were evil, and somehow, despite their vast differences, they were both ugly stereotypes of real world people of African descent. So, no more evil... species (caught myself that time).
-Disabled adventurers! There's a module for a wheelchair friendly dungeon. Yep, an OSHA compliant dungeon. A friend of mine sent me a two-pack of official D&D miniatures (he did it to piss me off); they're clerics in wheelchairs. Note that D&D clerics of sufficient level should actually be able to cure about any ailment that would land you in a wheelchair. No offense to disabled people, of course, but D&D now doesn't understand that people want an adventure divorced from our reality and our limitations.
-Finally, those RPG consent forms are real. D&D doesn't appear to make one, but they do promote them. I suggest you google one, they're pretty funny. There's some disturbing stuff on there, but there's also trigger warnings about deep water, dolls, and classism.
i have never played d&d, but this is awful. Just keep the game normal ffs.
This makes me want to make a campaign with options from that list. Never would have come up with combining dolls, deep water, and classism before.
@drewfuller8660 gona call you out and point out how species is just a more accurate term. When players can be a bug person, a sentient slime, a cat person, a human, or whatever other vaguely humanoid shaped creature (or non). Then species is just far more accurate of a term. Getting hung up on the term "races" just shows youre more playing into race politics than they are. Having your buffs tied to your background makes more sense too because by what measure should an orc mage be ass buff as an orc soldier when they spent their entire lives in a library and not the battlefield? Plus it just allows for more build options and combos mechanicely speaking.
@drewfuller8660 as for your other ramblings, getting pissed off at the existence of wheelchair minis is quite the self report.
If your imaginary world of dragons and sexy elf girls gets broken because their is a ramp instead of stairs (which from a construction point of view is just more feasible for moving materials anyway) then that's a you problem, not the game.

Oh hell yes
The Babylon Bee should make a "woke" version of everything. Woke Paw Patrol, woke Harry Potter, woke Avengers, woke SpongeBob, woke computer programmers, woke AI, etc. This bit from 2016 is super funny and definitely not stale.

about 90% of this sketch was not even parody... my oh my.
and it's made even MORE wonderfully annoying by the little "disclaimers" that showed up once in a while. that some of this wasn't just made up but is a genuine thing in the game now. i SO wanted to slug these woke lunatic characters while watching this...

You can't even parody this stuff anymore. Satire can only go so far.

Went to my local game store after a couple years to try out DMing and playing in an Adventurer’s League. The manager of the League introduced themselves, gave me their pronouns of they/them, then asked me what mine is. I was so confused. You can’t tell by looking at my beard and biker jacket? And there were kids there too. It just felt so weird. Never went back to that LGS after.
I do miss the prior used to that visit. DMing stuff like Mines of Phandelver and Tiamat was fun.

Just like in Bujinkan, don't forget the two most important rules. The rule of cool and the rule of fun. Those are the ones that make the game playable.
@@martijnc.8249 The first one could fit, although I never heard it. But the second one. If you can have fun in all the pain you don't have an absolutely dedicated teacher. I am still happy to hear from another person about this.

It may have jank, but it isn't woke garbage, and you can adapt nearly anything for it.

"Are you sure this is D&D?" LOL...perfect. While I get the parody, the new rule books make it clear that Wizards of the Coast has fully embraced the idiocy of the Woke religion. We could all see it coming years ago. I wonder if I can roll up a Cleric of Woke? I can't wait for my "Petulant Stomp of Cancelation" spell. Here's a prediction: D&D will have to reverse course due to a collapse in sales of their new edition.
Idk about "woke" religion but I know very well actual religion was mighty pissed about the game 40 years ago so maybe you just haven't noticed the game being that way for all these years?
@dotdot5906 I remember. I played the original blue and red boxes in high school and recall the absolute panic about "devil worship" and the like. It was ridiculous. But the difference was that TSR, and then WotC didn't bend to that idiocy because they had a great product. In the current version, they've become the idiocy as they, like so many other companies, have bowed to woke pressure. I think that tide is turning, however.
@@robertlinva9503 Most of the panic was caused by Chick Publications and the Tom Hanks made for tv movie.

@@atomiclizard1215depends on what and who you play the game. It used to be a thin story with lots of monsters to kill and loot to find. Now that has completely reversed with way too much story and less fighting.
this is spot on. I played in the 80's and 90's. Just started DMIng a game for my daughter and her friends couple years ago. 5E was pushing it but this new 2024 version is a joke. My 12 year old players were mocking it and laughing at how gay it is. Hopefully Elon buys Hasbro.

As a 5e player, this is PAINFULLY accurate.
Whait , talking as someone new into DnD , isnt DnD 5th one of the better editions to my limited knowledge , or somewhere down the path got this bad ?
@@justdenis1224 5th edition is, by most "veteran" player's standards, trash...mine included...I will say that, as a means to introduce new players to the game, it's decent enough...but if you played previous iterations of the "rules", 5th ed feels pathetically dumbed down.
1. Not the most popular among those who actively play D&D.
2. Nowhere even close to the longest lived.
3. Purported (again, by those who play D&D) to be one of the worst editions every released.
4. "Revised" for a reason....the original 5th ed was pathetically poorly cobbled together.
As for BB's "take", well, the stigma of TTRPGs being something only "nerds" and "dorks" can get into seems to persist to this day...tho I will say this particular skit, while scathing for it's social commentary on the idiocy of "woke" inclusionary idiocy, isn't really even close to a real session...but then again, you won't get anything real on YT.
@@TrampasWhiteman Are you sure? When I try and find a group online over half are labelled LGBT friendly, explicitly, and yeah that's a massive red flag to me that they're those weird lunatics, if your a normal person you just play the game and have fun, who care who bangs who in the privacy of their home.
@@justdenis1224 5e is fine as a game if you're playing with regular people. The problem is whose playing it. Sometimes if you play with randos, you can stumble onto some Vampire: the Masquerade type LARP playerbase. VtM has become less popular and those types filtered into DnD. House rules usu ban tabaxi (cat people) since players are mostly insane/attention-seekers/closet furries. Pathfinder is basically a further development of 3.5. Go get that.
This is such a great video!!
I’m a 53 year old DM. I will not drop one cent for the 2024 books. I also make it clear when I DM that our adventures will be PG-13 in language, R in violence and terror, and that the game is more fun when everyone agrees that getting butt-hurt means leaving the group.
I raised my 3 boys on D&D. As adults none of them are satanists OR leftists…wait…is there a difference?
Yes, there is. (See The Bee's post about Satan asking the left to tone it down.)

The book is basically just saying to for example, raise your hand, or say "Hey gang," or any number of less visibly outrageous and stupid signals than the weird X with their heads retracted into their ribcages that they're doing in this video.
Is it so terrible and bad and awful that play groups have been told they can do this? Why do you even care? You don't need it, so you don't use it. It doesn't affect you.
@@xxxlonewolf49 You're telling me that your GM has never asked you what kind of quest you want to go on? That's what the paper is. It's Game Expectations. AKA, what you want to be doing in the game. There's a part where you can include 'triggers' (definitely a stupid name) but just don't put anything there if you're totally okay with the idea of literally anything being on the table. Me personally, I don't want to ever deal with parasites infecting my character, so I put that down.
As for the beholder, it's just cute art. Beholders are still terrifying and vicious and ugly. It's just art.
It's not an accident that they target certain things, the demographic of people that played D&D etc are the real focus, they do not care about the game, they care about who is playing it. These people are evil, true evil.
We all know it but giant organisations embrace it and force it upon the mass market; to what end? Who knows. It's an infection on Western culture. The only positive aspect is that the Babylon Bee can produce entertaining content mocking it
Just call it Lawyers and Leftists.

@tylerhaynes4841 why, have you tried to type cisperson? I wouldn't know what might happen. TH-cam is the only social media I use.
The sad thing is that this isn't satire. I can very much relate to the guy who just wanted to delve into dungeons and slay evil monsters to loot their treasure. Such fun is no longer tolerated in D&D.
No you can still do that but um are you talling about power playing?
just find a table that want to do that
I did too until he said dragons are evil like that covers every dragon. Metallic dragons are objectively good.
Why immediately surrender to the nonsense? If you want your D&D a certain way, go do it. There are tons of cool people out there
Just find the group, not all groups are like this, and also I see someone who not only Don't Force inclusively but it actually kind of add on to the story and doesn't take away anything from D&D
Man. I use to love telling stories through DNDs gameplay.
Its such a fun medium to narrate through.
The game was 100 percent [ so called] inclusive already.
Anyway.
Love you guys.
I used to refer to playing D&D as consensual story telling.
@@JachinSolomon I prefer the term collaborative story telling, consensual story telling sounds like there's a version where you tie people to chairs and force them to play that's non-consensual story telling.
Hooo boy, this speaks to me in a uniquely painful way. My dad played first edition dnd and brought me into the game in the classic way with old lead minis and everything. I tried joining groups in high school and college expecting a similar experience and got extreme tonal whiplash. It's not just Hasbro, the community around the game really has changed and become quite woke. I had no choice but to become a DM and host my own games now, in the 'classic' way.
Drama kids took over the hobby.
Wish we knew each other. I’m a 1st and 2nd edition guy. Got a crapload of stuff stored away! I’m 49, started playing in 1984. I’ve got great memories. I played and DM’ed. Last time I DM’ed was 1992. Right up til Hurricane Andrew hit. I live in Miami. Played when I was in the Army too. 1996 was the last time I played. Had a blast.
@@STOPTHECLOWNS581 Which is funny, considering they had their own games, Vampire: The Masquerade being perhaps the most sucessful. An entire 'Storyteller' system existed to appeal to the drama kids.

Wish they had left to each their own.
Haha. They call us "grognards" and the like, but at my flgs it's become a badge of honour..

@raul0ca I think out of all of those Pathfinder is the only one I've kind of looked at, and I don't believe that it rubs your face into how woke it is. I've been playing another tabletop game called Fabula Ultima, and even though it is a little woke, it doesn't really force it on you, so you can just ignore it.

The pendulum swung from one extreme to the other over the years
The ironic thing is back then it was unfounded, but now they would be right about most nutjobs that play the game yet!
@cromlives6602 it's unfounded even now. This entire sketch is a strawman argument. Take one honest look at the dnd community and you'll see a litany of murder hobos, pervs, and tale after tale of combat based experiences. Literally half the book is just about the rules regarding combat.
"Its woke" is just the new "it's demonic" and it's still being pushed by the same people as then, conservatives.
Instead we have far right woke fascist communist that are almost as bad as the Christians.
Props to having the actual AD&D book dude.
Bumping the comment:
And it was 1e. If only it had been the original cover, tho, although that artwork might not go over as well with some Christians. Even moreso with the DM guide.
My little sister plays in a group almost like this. They still fight monsters occasionally, but there's lots of apologizing and hand-wringing about it.
Doesn't sound like playing to me, or at all fun. More like what used to be called emotional circle jerks.

I'd love to see a restoration of true high level play that WotC took from players. BECMI had 134 levels, and the big prize for completing them was the chance to become a Great Old One.
To think I've been playing D&D wrong all these years. I had no idea there was a safe sign for wanting to go into a dungeon, lol.
Use the safe sign against the dragon when you meet it! :)
Lol, safe signs are only really important for people who go heavily into role playing. A simple dunegeon crawl usually doesn't need safe signs. But if all at the table are into serious stories, then depictions of abuse might occur and it's okay to not always be up for that in the context of a game...
