We don't owe WOTC anything. They are a private company run by adults selling products for the purpose of making money - I'm sure they will cope with people stating the real life terrible things they did. If people are so unhappy to hear such things, start a new site called Warriors for the...

Yes, how dare people keep bringing up the genuinely terrible things that this company actually did in real life!

It's going to be a tad jarring that the most evil beings on the planet apparently draw a line at something. "I can excuse genocide but I draw the line at slavery!"

If there is going to be a Dark Sun book, I wonder what made them change their tune? Dark Sun represents pretty much everything current Wotc is set on avoiding. Unless we're getting a family friendly version of Dark Sun...ugh...

YES MORE FANTASY FILMS! MORE SWORD & SORCERY FILMS! I DEMAND IT!

Where did this idea come from that apparently you can't do anything to slavery within the Dark Sun setting? Dark Sun 4e literally had a city state that overthrew it's sorcerer king and freed the slaves. It's feels like there's a contingent of people who can't cope unless the product spells it...

This is genuinely bonkers. Do you actually think there are organisations for sued for featuring slavery in products? Are the makers of Avatar the Last Airbender in danger of losing their shirts for featuring the Air Nomad massacre?

South of Midnight would be a good source of inspiration for Godsbreath. Same with Sinners.

Heck yeah, loved the Radiant Citadel - working a homebrew civilization for it based on Ireland. I was most intrigued by Godsbreath - really dug the southern gothic vibe. I hope the adventure expands a bit of the civilisation itself.

Might be worth mentioning Kobold Press' Midgard setting barely has orcs at all, bar a couple of mentions in the setting book and a few entries in the Tome of Beasts entries. It's notably a darker setting than what WOTC is used to these days and every ancestry is leans towards gray rather...

Funnily enough, I've run a arthurian mythos type setting with orcs being the anglo-saxon/viking stand-ins. I did attempt some nuance with them as having friendly orcish merchant clans also existing (much like real world norse traders).

Very true, I'm a big fan of nuanced orcs. WoW and Elder Scrolls in particular are very good examples. I think there is room for marauder orcs and non-marauder orcs. Can't say I'm a massive fan of WOTC current art direction with them though. They look increasingly like humans with a bit of make...

Big fan of the direction WOTC is going with the goblins. Hopefully they keep pushing the folkloric angle. I guess part of the issue with orcs is that they don't really have any real world folklore origins.

Causing offence can be power in itself. And what I mean by causing a offence - some people believe that others mere existence or way of life is an offence. If the belief that we should submit to other groups simply because they hold the power was universal, then we might as well tell every...

Still appropriating aspects of people's culture. I'm not saying it would happen, but it's a direction it could go.
