Part 8/9:
The current trajectory of mainstream tabletop gaming, as exemplified by recent controversies involving Wizards of the Coast and others, reflects a larger cultural shift where entertainment devolves into ideological battlegrounds.

Many advocate for a reassessment—supporting projects that prioritize artistic and gameplay integrity over political correctness. The hope is that the hobby can recover its original spirit of imagination, camaraderie, and escapism.
