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 misstep 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 grognards. Though attractive, this approach may prove impractical as a long-term solution.
Ruined Forever remains a serious threat to D&D now and in the foreseeable future, though it's possible a proposed initiative requiring all D&D players to purchase an annual dice offset could ensure our fragile brand's existence through the mid-21st century.
