Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nickolaidas" data-source="post: 6828728" data-attributes="member: 6803584">You may be overestimating the author's ability to design modules the way they like ...I am a graphic artist - my job basically is about making magazine and book layout - essentially putting pretty pictures alongside the text of every single page. So I was working on an English-teaching book for young teens, which was intended to be sold in Germany.One day, of their senior editors came to give me various corrections concerning typos and picture changes throughout the whole book. One particular minute, when we were on a page, she told me to change that picture. I told her "Why? Are the colors not alright? Is the theme wrong?" She replied, "No ... it's just that ... that picture has a black guy in it." I said, "So?" She said, "It's just that ... we don't really want to have pictures with black guys in the books. The people over there won't like it." And I was 'forced' to change it.So, again, this is just a theory, but it wouldn't surprise me if the ToD author wanted to put Dragonborn in it, but WotC editors came and said, "Er ... you know what? Don't put Dragonborn in the story. There are some players who reaaaally hate their guts and this is our first adventure and well ... we don't want to give them the wrong impression, you know?"And considering the fact that Dragonborn have yet to appear in an adventure, I'm inclined to put some weight in that theory. Maybe I'm wrong - I *hope* that I'm wrong. But that's the vibe I'm getting so far.</blockquote>
