Extremely thoughtful social and economic commentary on both the DnD setting and real life

This series has been a fantastic journey from what I thought was a silly tropey DnD story into a touching and emotional journey with sincere commentary on the DnD setting. Dragonfired fires a lot of the Chekhov's guns that have been on the table since Orconomics. While doing this, it pulls absolutely zero punches in critiquing both the racist assumptions implicit in the DnD settings and the very real methods by which systemic racism is perpetuated in real life. After all that, it demonstrates what a few good people in positions of power can do to start overturning a corrupt system.
