5e Halflings are "not Kender" anyway, so I'd rather have the genuine article.

Ha! That's right :) But it's not quite the same, is it? Adding a raygun here and there is one thing, but being able to tell plane-hopping tales, without too much hassle, is quite different.

The Kender have stolen the thread. They just didn't know better.

Isn't it great how modern D&D can be used as a kind of Rifts-like, generic hodgepodge multiverse roleplaying game?

In my opinion "not Africa" is usually described by these tropes: Animism Tribalism Ancestors Honor

I agree. It's great when you play often and when your players make the effort to engage with the material and all its weird and unusual idiosyncrasies. But for casual gamers, "not Rome" is not always the worst solution.

You're always using real world cultures and references, though. For some people, concepts like "kingdom", "knight", "guild", "religion", "common tongue" or even "gold pieces" could already be considered problematic.

This. If Kender culture doesn't include the concept of property, it means that Kender can learn it from different cultures. It also means that not caring about property is part of their heritage and should probably be given a proper amount of respect from other people.

Or, indeed, most fantasy settings.

Undead, oozes, etc.

Probably not in a fantasy setting, though. A pansexual person would be open to lots of options that just don't exist in our world.

D&D’s unique ruleset and multiple settings make it very easy to tell stories where characters from one universe end up somewhere else. One could say that Planescape and Spelljammer both offered ways to make that even easier. Have you ever tried anything like that? Is it something you’re...

I feel that a quiz may not be a good test of someone’s faith.

Not only that, but it is fairly easy to add "Not-Persia" and "Not-Atlantis" to the world map.

In 3e, we came up with an urban barbarian. We switched around a couple of skills, but basically the character was a regular barbarian, except that he was born in the slums of a crime-ridden metropolis.

Are we talking about the Personal Electronic Recreation Device? Or about the Permanent Entertainment Regime Directive?

In what way is it "explicitely queer and poly friendly"? Also, in addition to the "romantic fantasy" theme, is romantic love part of the setting?

An undead Rakshasa.

Everybody knows that the Keep is in northern Karameikos.

That’s a fair point but that’s why lots of pop radio stations have a late night AOR show: because they want to cater to the demand for niche music.
