Stumbled across this thread last night. Apparently the D&D folks published a free little campaign set-up where your fantasy character works at a fantasy Starbucks. The reactions are hilarious, across the spectrum, IMHO, from gamers griping about the idea of regular work in their tabletop game to right-leaning folks griping and joking about the wokeness roleplaying opportunities to left leaning folks griping about wage inequality.

Several people have pointed out that a "Dungeons & Dragons" Firejolt CafĂ© barista makes 5 gp/week while an armorer, squire bodyguard, or mercenary man-at-arms makes 7 gp/week. 🤔
Apparently, a woke hipster's idea of high fantasy is limited to exorbitant wages for menial jobs.
Full disclosure, I never actually sat down and played D&D, but had some of the books. I know enough mechanics and background to get most of the jokes, but most are still funny without that background knowledge.
