Back in the '80s you also had halflings getting high off of cheese. The forgotten realms were never serious.

You guys know that just because WotC wants you to interface with their content on their terms you don't have to right? If you've got a computer you can probably extract the data you want from the webpage and format it how you see fit, if some pirate hasn't done so already.

"Leleanor's Whole Realms and Parts of Abeir Catalogue" My players need to know how much pure quicksilver costs goddamnit!

I wonder if "Estelar" has anything to do with the astral sea, by dint of "astral" and "stellar" meaning "of stars"

As a d&d loving metalhead I'm so glad they're highlighting Eddie but I got a say he's a weird pick for a promotional item for the fifth season

If you're not paying for something, buddy, you're the product

I'm 99% sure Fizban's Treasury of Dragons names him as a Greatwyrm, and that same book basically explains that every dragon god other than Io, Bahamut, Tiamat and Sardior are greatwyrms

You're like one step removed from breaking out the forceps and measuring skulls my guy

This is literal anti-consumer behavior. The consumer was promised the digital edition in August. There is no reason to delay the digital edition; there is nothing wrong with it. The only reason to delay something promised to the consumer, many of whom already paid for it, is because they want to...

So they're delaying the digital book for four months because of this? I can't say I'm happy about this: I wonder if the relative dearth of promotion for the book is because they were debating whether or not to delay the it

So you're NOT entertained?

I can ask that it be discarded and ignored because it is a harmful stereotype and an overwrought literary trope that directly affects me. Imagine saying that same naughty word to a Native American who's tired of the "noble savage" archetype, because that's exactly how I feel about "tragic mulattos."

My dude are you literally saying every mixed race person brings to mind the "tragic mulatto?" Simply having a mixed person must bring to mind segregation and persecution? That's such an American-centric take. You're just like Gary Gygax saying all half-orcs must be the result of rape. The...

No, some anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens, the species and subspecies to which you and I both belong) do have ancestry from other members of the Homo genus who are not necessarily classified as species; many people of European descent have some Homo neanderthalensis in their...

I'm mixed race and I personally am really interested in the experiences of mixed race people across Earth and in fiction. Why are we allowed to have black, white, Asian and even Hispanic people in D&D but we can't have mixed or creole people?

A perfect example of how the literal translation of "mixed" in French is unspecific, but as you said, "Metis" is also a specific (creole) ethnic group.

It's extremely common in the various postcolonial holdings of romance peoples (Spanish, Portuguese, French) but it's also commonly used in linguistics. Hell, there's an argument to be made that middle English, the English of Chaucer, is a "Creole language" of Old English and Norman French. I...

It could be that I come from a culture with a lot more positive associations with the term, but I am unaware of any situations where it's inappropriate or a slur, and I am having a hard time thinking about other words that could be applied as broadly. We can't use "mixed race" or "multiracial"...

Maybe we should stop calling them hybrids and start calling them "Creoles"? The half elves, orcs, dwarves and giants of my personal setting have been calling themselves "creole peoples". Everyone wants pirates of the Caribbean in their d&d setting, no one wants to bother looking at Caribbean...
