But they are also boring to a lot of people, such as Jim Davis. And a big part of this is the lack of lore. Most of the video was Jim and Pruitt brainstorming lore that DMs might add to Goliaths to make them more interesting. Some people just don’t find a set of physical attributes interesting on its own, they want culture, history, mythical connections, all that Jazz. Now some people are more than happy to make that up on their own, but many don’t have the time or inclination and would rather just use the built-in lore of a setting like Forgotten Realms, or Eberron, or whatever. And if a race doesn’t have much built-in lore, those people might not find anything in the race that interests them.Maybe think of it this way: Everyone finds different things interesting, right? What interests you might not necessarily interest Suzy, and vice versa. The more is written about a race, the more likely Suzy will be able to find something in that that interests her.</blockquote>
