[QUOTE="Panda-s1, post: 7868425, member: 59554"] I don't want to derail anything, but I remember the halcyon days of 12 years ago, when Rise of the Runelords first came out, of all the back patting Paizo got because they had the one (technically 2?) gay NPC(s) in the starting town. like I get that it was important, but at the same time I like only heard about this guy because my DM running the game brought it up, outside of game, with other people, like it was some kinda neat easter egg that we, the players, never got around to learning in-game (also two of the players were lgbt which made it feel even weirder). like maybe he could've been a guy we needed to talk to for the main quest? and then we met his partner as part of the quest and find out they're actually together? (also neither of them get in harm's way for the sake of the adventure, that'd be too tropey). sorry, I kinda had to get that off my chest. I guess things have gotten better in Pathfinder? maybe? does Eberron even have a fantasy Asia place? as someone of East Asian descent I too love seeing Asian representation in fantasy settings, but for an actual setting like Eberron I prefer there's like an actual reason ("reason") you might see an Asian person. I don't wanna say something like "forced diversity", but I do find it weird when a video game is like "your character can look however they want!" "oh cool, but why am I the only person of color in a game full of white people? like what's my ethnicity in this world?" "your what now??" [/QUOTE]
