In reply to David G. EDITOR: David, this is an excellent and reasoned response. Meeple Mountain is a tabletop gaming website featuring content about board games and RPG. Most of the "News" section is news in the same way that The Onion is news.

This is just stupid. You can’t just change the name because a bunch of bitches. Seriously same people probably complained about GOT ending and Drew up a petition to get the producer to rewrite the ending. You get what you get. Quit whining about things that bother your fragile sense of being. Or get a DM that puts you in a dungeon with a freaking dragon. Better yet give me a perception roll. Everyone sees you as a gelatinous cube of butthurt emotions. You don’t seem to grasp who you really are.

Given that Google.com recommended this to me on the search engine page as (presumably) a news article, there are more problems with this than a missed hashtag or a comment in bold added after the fact.

Is all of “Meeple Mountain” satire? The url places this in the “news” section. I don’t know if I’ve ever read anything on http://www.meeplemountain.com before, but this sort of article rightfully leads people to conclude the site is misleading at best and fake at worst.

A better way to handle this would be to introduce the article as satire and tie the content of the article to a problem currently facing tabletop gaming. Use satire to make a point rather than a click-bait title to spread false, potentially inflammatory, information.

This is completely rediculous and/or hilariously pointless. It would be like going to a used car dealer and calling it a used car and/or other vehicles dealer…and having to actually SAY that every time!! Ludicrous. And the cost of rebranding for something that will make no difference to new players and, probably, piss off those who have been playing and/or DMing this game and/or RPG for so long is likely not worth it (probably being passed on to the consumer and/or players). I’m laughing at this and will NEVER refer to it by the new branding and I’ll laugh in the face of those who do!

Comedy isnt pointless, its needed for mental health, well maybe on comedy specificly, everyone has different tastes, but i didnt find this one offensive or funny, after seeing the hint at the end i was relieved. However it totally broke my focus on making an over powered barbarian.
