Message: <blockquote data-quote="Levistus's_Leviathan" data-source="post: 8808106" data-attributes="member: 7023887">Using the lore to support the argument that Orcs have been theoretically able to travel to Krynn for decades does not contradict my stance that the setting can and should change to fit a more modern audience. It's not just a "preference" if it's proven that it can be done well. I purposely didn't mention the "can sentient creatures be restricted in alignment by race" debate on purpose to avoid further derailment of the thread. To be clear, I do have a problem with Draconians being sentient if they're meant to be hoards of always hostile monsters, but I was pointing out that the primary role of the Orcs of Lord of the Rings and early D&D was filled with Draconians. I wasn't remarking on the ethics of that decision. I don't know  I wasn't the one that started the specific tangent about Orcs. Almost all of those depend on the Cosmology. If they're using the 5e Great Wheel, I see no reason why Genasi, Tiefling, Aasimar, Gith and possibly Aarakocra wouldn't exist (but still be very rare). Yuan-Ti need snake gods/cults to exist, which I don't think exist on Taladas. Giff can get there through the Astral Sea.</blockquote>
