Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9740866" data-attributes="member: 18">Sorry but that's not accurate.It was WotC's D&D team at the time, some of whom are still there.The minimum people involved are the person who wrote the race details, the person who approved them, the person who did the minstrel art pieces and the art director, as well as whoever did the layout. That's five people, absolute minimum. Having worked in corporate environments where products were created I would say at a dead minimum double that had eyes on that part of the product. Every one of them should have been "uh oh monkey people <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🚨" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f6a8.png" title="Police car light    :rotating_light:" data-shortname=":rotating_light:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🔔" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f514.png" title="Bell    :bell:" data-shortname=":bell:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🚨" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f6a8.png" title="Police car light    :rotating_light:" data-shortname=":rotating_light:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />". But apparently none of them were. Or if they were, didn't feel they could raise the issue, which is itself major problem and corporate culture one.I presume the approver was Crawford or Perkins is what you're saying (I can't find the credits page right now)? And the buck definitely stops with whoever was in charge but it's not just on them unless the issue was raised and ignored, which I just do not buy, especially not re the art.Re: Darrington thankfully I don't see the team they have making a similar mistake, the worst they've done was the pith helm deal AFAIK. But I would laugh of it did happen again thanks to one of Crawford and Perkins. I have previously pointed out Perkins "brought the racism back" with Stradh, after 4E got rid of it (kinda lol) by reverting to 2E lore and l there are other problematic WotC D&D books in that era (Volos particularly).</blockquote>
