I’m Black, and a lot of people on message boards have opinions on how I should feel about this topic. I frankly find replacing “race” with “species” to be deeply problematic and troubling. But to point this out makes people feel uncomfortable.

You’re right—this article isn’t for the type of person who comments on this message board.

For a hit piece it is far more balanced and even tempered than a good deal of writing by supposed fans. Remarkable that a thoughtful article like this can be denounced simply because it makes some people uncomfortable.

Warhammer 4th edition, Dolemwood, the new Runequest, anything that Bryan Syme touches, Symbaroum. There have been really neat DCC covers/interior art lately.

Recently: Monster Overhaul by Skerples, Midgard/Southlands Campaign Setting by Kobold, Mothership’s Warden Operation Manuel, Goodman Games’ The Dungeon Alphabet by Michael Curtis. All these resources are excellent and I highly recommend them to you.

Hey, just a quick note of thanks. I read your blog post, and I was taken by the grace and thoughtful reflection with which it was written. I appreciate it.

Not including Supplement IV Gods, Demigods, and Heroes was a super lame choice.

Too much drama.

I didn’t even know this was a thing!

It’s 2024, I find it vaguely embarrassing to see someone accuse someone of “sealining.”

The weakest most inoffensive hit piece ever, and we are nearly up to 30 pages of comments lol

Art seems better than the new PHB. I really do regret buying that book. This looks much better all around.

Weird, as I play as half-elves in every game I play because I’m mixed race and I like feeling represented in the games I play. The idea that nobody plays them is just you presenting your own bias as truth, and it is incredibly offensive to me.

They should absolutely be included, and it’s a bit silly they aren’t in the new PHB. God forbid they do something interesting for once.

I really don’t see the need to cheer on a billion dollar company, nor the moral necessity to wish them success. I do hope 5.5 fails financially because Hasbro is an awful company, and I don’t feel bad about saying that. I will support my hobby by spending my money supporting smaller projects...

lol chill dude, I’m not killing the “fandom” by refusing to bow down and lick Hasbro’s boot. As a consumer, I’m choosing to spend my money elsewhere and I’m encouraging others to do likewise.

The more I read about 5.5 the more I realize that this product sucks and I hope that Hasbro’s/WOTC’s corporate D&D is an utter failure for them.

No, there are better systems out there for the types of DnD esque games we like to play.

Check out the purple sorcerer website. That’s where I get all my character sheets and pregens.

Yea this sucks lol. Not buying this book.
