Stop engaging in gross hyperbole. They are doing NOTHING of the sort.That feels too close to true to be funny.
The D&D Players Handbook designers are holding a gun to the head of D&D worldbuilders.

It still is, as long as those worlds are part of the One D&D Multiverse™. If you want your own unique setting it looks like you'll be working against many of the basic assumptions of the game, so it will take extra effort.D&D used to be about worldbuilding.
They also wrote "orcs" in the orc race entry and my homebrew world doesn't have orcs! The horror! But that's WotC for you. They have all sorts of guns pointed at my head! Those monsters!They wrote "gods" in the human race entry.
As if to be human, one must be a polytheist.
The intellectual violence is a gross violation of reallife inclusivity.
the idea of having rules to cross any 2 races is amazing (and leads to nothing but joy) but taking the 2 cross races we had that HAD there own identity and abilities in 5e is annoying... half orcs are not orcs, and are losing there endurance.the loss of the half-elf saddens me. I don't mind "your character can have any parents they want!". In fact I would like more nods to reskinning. But the half-elf as a thing is very D&D, and they have been a popular race option over the years.
i love tremor sense as a dwarven featureI like the tremorsense give to dwarves, but I really like the stone cunning bonus to checks. It's not powerful at all, so it could live together with the new ability.
If we get some racial (gene) pointbuy system like in PF1, we could create every custom race or half-breed combination.the idea of having rules to cross any 2 races is amazing (and leads to nothing but joy) but taking the 2 cross races we had that HAD there own identity and abilities in 5e is annoying... half orcs are not orcs, and are losing there endurance.
As I do, but the previous power was nice, tematic and could easily remain together with the new one.i love tremor sense as a dwarven feature
