DnD Senior Designer DISPARAGES Old School Players?!

Clownfish TV: Audio Edition

Jason Tandro, senior designer of D&D, dehumanizes old school players as "Grognards" after Elon Musk told WotC to "burn in hell" for trying to distance itself from Gary Gygax. D&D’s current leadership considers old school players "not worth listening to," prioritizing a "modern audience" and "enlightened" players over the game’s original creators and fans. Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast have allegedly mistreated creators like Ed Greenwood and Margaret Weis, denying proper credit and residuals for their work on Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance. Gen Con has been accused of downplaying Gary Gygax’s legacy, reflecting a broader trend in tabletop gaming to distance from its roots. The D&D team anticipated backlash from "progressives" and "underrepresented groups" over original game language, but failed to foresee criticism from longtime fans. 🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com CFTV Audio Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clownfish-tv-audio-edition/id1726838629 CFTV Audio Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Geeky Sparkles’ Blog: https://www.piratesandprincesses.net/ About Us: Clownfish TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary channel that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer’s point of view.
