    Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

    I'm not sure I've grokked all of your idea there, but it seems cool nonetheless :).

    Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

    Yeah, in other words, it's a ret-con.

    Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

    I don't know of any mammal than can change sex at will, and Elves seem like a mammalian species to me. It is true that Corellon is depicted as androgynous, and that it can be used to justify this ret-con.

    Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

    That's one way of considering it, I suppose.

    Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

    Hello, I've seen the Jeremy Crawford interview where he talks about Elves as portrayed in the Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes - specifically, some of them can now change sex after a long rest, so they're transsexual in practice. What do you think of it ?

    D&D 5E Thoughts on this article about Black Culture & the D&D team dropping the ball?

    I am not insinuating anything. I am just not taking other people's experiences as if they provide some unassailable proof of the way the universe is. Why should I ? Because they really feel what they feel ? As human beings, we all really feel what we feel. For example, the majority of...

    D&D 5E Thoughts on this article about Black Culture & the D&D team dropping the ball?

    Yes. I feel strongly about this. And since, in my eyes, ToA (as involuntarily shown in the Kotaku article) does a recommendable job of promoting a more diverse environment in gaming material, I want the authors of the adventure to know that I appreciate their effort. EDIT: I've been a long time...

    D&D 5E Thoughts on this article about Black Culture & the D&D team dropping the ball?

    My opinion is that the article is a lazy piece of writing, geared to stir clickbaity outrage by invoking the image of the black americans as hapless victims of cultural oppression. That racism is well and alive in the USA is undeniable, but I don't think the ToA book as described is fuel for...
