Wokezards of the Coast.

 I've never played a proper game of Dungeons and Dragons, I've played a few of the SSI games on Amiga, both Eye of the Beholders. And Shadows of Amn on PC, back in the day. But proper tabletop stuff, forget it. 

One of the consequences of this is, WH Smiths used to have issues of Dragon in along with Expert Gamer previously EGM2, and because I wanted to write fantasy on the off chance, got issues every month. Stopped only when Smiths stopped getting them in years back. So around 2003 then.

In fact, the modern game is rather shallow now. Its been taken over by the woke mob, who for instance, maintain that the orc is actually a metaphor for black people,* rather than a pig man hybrid. In a setting where you can heal serious disabilities, there are serious discussions about wheelchair accessible dungeons. Srsly I hope they have spack attack feats in5e so I can role play as Timmy from South Park.

So after some late night reading of all my old issues from way back then, we have a few letters from the dawn of the 3rd Edition, seemingly presaging the whole culture war. 

There is a letter from an Alexander F Simkin Ph.D. in reply to a previous letter. I don't know the contents and have probably binned that issue it was in. But its a long letter saying that political bias has crept in since 2E. I'll not print it in full, but if I remember, scan it and put it as an attachment. But the bullet points are incredible in this day and age.

"If you're not interested in D&D, no amount of appealing to your race, creed, sex, or sexual orientation is going to change that."

"Advocates for political correctness in D&D might argue that it doesn't do any harm and might do some good, so there's no reason to exclude it. They fail to consider or simply don't care that there might be a downside to it"

20 years later, with full Tumblr crowd pandering in effect we're now living in an age where dungeons are wheelchair accessible, and orcs are now perceived as being monsters of colour.
