If you're making a long running campaign setting for D&D, it's even more imperative you build in a ton of flex room to allow for new concepts to be added over time.

Notice how FR and Eberron have tons of space to add new things into some little-visited corner of their lands? Also notice how Dark Sun's super-weird "we ethnically cleansed most of the common D&D races" makes adapting that setting much more challenging for modern gamers?

The valid reasons are that you can't make believe of it or it makes the game unfun.

But you have to be able to describe why.

yes, which is why I initially wrote that there probably is some core you are not compromising on, but if that ‘core’ is ‘it has to be a tortle and nothing else will do’, I do consider this lack of any compromise a red flag

My point is that's not a valid core unless you are a child.

You must have a reason to be tortle.

Apparently the answer is "Because I want to be a tortle" since I've been told it's not about the mechanical benefits, worldview or cultural influences.
