That is SUPER frustrating. People acting like popular liveplay stuff basically *invented* D&D is just... really annoying. Or even like one group's popular game is THE benchmark for what it is/should be.
I don't have a ton of gamer cred here, but I've played in at least a few sessions with friends and such, and that was before the liveplay popularity surge(s). I don't want gaming spaces to get gatekeeper-y - and it's been a common problem at times in the past where they have been! - but MAN is it hard not to feel a bit "get off my lawn" about it. (Not personally... it isn't my lawn, but still.)
The lgbt mini-con with Colleen Doran program art is pretty fucking rad, though.
