I know this may come across as unreasonable, but I feel like when I pick up an officially licensed TTRPG adaptation of some piece of media, it shouldn't be a coin toss whether there will be any mechanism for playing as the sorts of characters the game's ostensible source material is actually about.

This one is a great pointer to the colonizing underlines that remain in D&D even today. However, I'd like to digress on top of this article on how old D&D is so deeply boomer-coded, whereas modern D&D is very much millennial.
For you see, the colonozing remains, but *ownership* changed. 🧵+

I wrote about Gygax's characterization of the player characters as "the most aggressive" adventurers in the area of play, how this positions them to pose a unique threat to the established order of things, & how that perception should color every interaction the PCs have with quest-giving NPCs:

Its so quintessentially Democrat to be seen purchasing a book about the evil they perpetuate, after losing an election in large part because of the evil, with barely enough time left before leaving power to read it and implement any change

I think it’s notable that some of the first real limits on the use of generative AI were brought to us by labor. Not Congress. Not “ethical” AI shops nestled inside big tech companies. A union.
One of the best parts of the WGA deal: AI has now hit a brick wall in Hollywood, *and that includes adaptations.*
