Humans in such a world would have a necessarily more accepting bent than historical humans here, because campaigns of racial cleansing and the like are that much more difficult to carry out against 90% of the world, and because those races come in handy. A lower fantasy world might be freaked out of dragonborn (and even halflings would give pause), but D&D has never been a low fantasy setting, so I wouldn't ask it to try and provide that to me out of the box.Still, I think the idea that all the PC races are harmonius is exceptionally boring, and I really regret that it has been played up so much in the fluff. You can get along and still have conflict, which is something this article doesn't really consider, because the dragonborn don't have any interesting conflicts that might make for a fun night of gaming when used as the seed for a character or an adventure.I am squicked out beyond belief at some of these comments, and maybe more by those who say they're not enough. I guess we all have our fetishes though, so it's probably a wash. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I mean, I was weirded out when people offered up their Lidda fantasies in 3e, too.....maybe I just wish people would keep their fantasies to themselves and those loved ones that can help them act it out. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
