User:Spin-Out/Ruined FOREVER
Fans realize something Wizards of the Coast does not, that robust 52-year-old billion-dollar franchises, while seemingly healthy, are in actuality as fragile as two Adamantine blocks tied together with tissue paper. One mistake, one bad mis-step will cause the entire thing to corrode and fall apart; and D&D would be ruined forever.
Fortunately, there is hope. The D&D fanbase has resolved to remain ever vigilant against something that could Ruin D&D Forever, and call out a warning if they see something that could potentially do so.
Some D&D conservationists suggest a more extreme approach, that D&D should abandon all attempts at re-invention and instead cater exclusively to the old-school collectors. Though attractive, this approach may prove impractical as a long-term solution, with some exceptions.
Ruined Forever remains a serious threat to D&D now and in the foreseeable future, though it's possible a proposed initiative requiring all Transformers fans to purchase an annual plastic offset could ensure our fragile brand's existence through the mid-21st century.
