Yes, unlike you I roleplay and also play characters which are not optimized.

No problem. You already have confirmed above that either your definition of "allowed to play" is minmaxed or that you are talking nonsense to justify removing racial ASI because you are afraid to tell the real reason why you think that should be done.

How are people currently not allowed to play half orc bards?

The definitive edition released now has both real time and turn based modes.

Species, although I find race completely acceptable as elves, dwarves and so on are close to what race is supposed to mean.

I don't think there is a way around that. D&D and similar games are build around the idea of very quick magical healing. And when that is available mundane medicine will always be glossed over. With the Agents of Edgewatch AP for PF2 having been released something about medieval law or...

The problem I have with folk or kin is that those words are already used to differentiate humans from each other based on different criteria like location or family statues. By using this word for races instead you are removing the actual meaning from it.

Other games of course have different names for races, especially ones with a rather strong and specific setting. But often they don't fit D&D. I would for example never suggest to change the name race to metahuman in D&D

Do you really think for roleplaying there is no difference between "Even as a child I was always stronger than other children" (put a higher value into Str), "I trained a lot in my spare time" (Put stat increases into Str) and "Strong? If you think so. Where I come from everyone can do this"...

Having to translate names is imo "too much trouble" And D&D is a lot more cosmopolitan than LotR so cultures are not as clear cut.

The impression I have is that it is intended to be backward compatible with 5E, thus you should use the same names. And using culture is a very bad idea as it means there is only one culture per race and that it is impossible to escape said culture like a hobbit growing up in a nearby human...

Why would you need wheels in this case?

Levelup is a D&D supplement and while WotC announcwd intentions to do so they have not changed the term race yet so thats what levelup should use until WotC comes up with something new. And which of those players would really benefit from ASI being removed from races? None of them really.

Its admittedly only 2nd hand half knowledge but it depended a lot on cities. A city required a lot of food which was farmed with for todays standards very low efficency. So everything within 1 day of the city was basically farmland so that the farmers could bring the food to the market. How far...

Now will they use an actual panopticum design or just use the name? Also with the ressources of the Lords Alliance, wouldnt the Imprisonment spell be a better way to imprison someone? Although it might be intended for the prisoners to eventually die of old age which the spell would prevent.

So you do not see a obvious problem with locomotion (more than normally with a wheelchair) when you look at the dwarf (I think) miniature?

How would two weapon fighting in a wheelchair work?

The US is in my, and I admit not all that informed, opinion a good example. Around big cities (1 day or so travel) you have lots of peoples and infrastructure (in fantasy worlds meaning farms, villages, etc.), but once you get away from them and the few big roads connecting the cities its...

Its not really something Levelup can fix but imo there should be 4 levels of equipment. shoddy->normal->masterwork->magic which all should be used instead of being glossed over with magic the only possible upgrade. Meaning it should take to level 5 until you are having normal equipment and a...

Thats a general problem with D20 systems. They are designed to do only one thing and are not really good for other stuff. Although I do not know how bad this is in Pathfinder. Other system like for example Traveller or Shadowrun are much more supporting when you play something different than...
