well, this is going to be unpleasant for them, we going to get a product recall or something?
Same instrument as the Halfling on page 26 of the PHB - but the Hadozee is relatively bigger. (The hat make me wonder more than the instrument...).I mean... yeah... But it's also the -same- instrument in both pictures. Just with a shorter neck for the Hadozee.
How did they not have a Sensitivity Reader for this book?! They knew Spelljammer had some bad stuff in it before. They (wisely) left the Gromman and Aperusa in the past and didn't even mention them in these books (unless I missed something). One would think that if you know that a setting previously had some pretty racist content in it, they would make certain that they had a Sensitivity Reader working on this project to catch anything racist that snuck into the product that they might have missed.Even if it is accidental on the part of the artist it still speaks to.embedded cultural racism and should have been caught.
Gack! Where is that personality one from. I didn't see that in the spelljammer Adventurer's guide or Menagerie. :-/Wow. I noticed this on twitter and at first I thought it was just bad form to have a race that has a slavery narrative. But looking at parts of the description people are posting...wow. This is Nu-TSR level stuff...
I dunno if they were told to make a bard or not, but in all honesty when I look at that picture I get the impression that their inspiration was the bard character from The Gamers: Dorkness Rising.Same instrument as the Halfling on page 26 of the PHB - but the Hadozee is relatively bigger. (The hat make me wonder more than the instrument...).
But that's why I'm curious what the artist used for inspiration and if they were told to make it a bard.
According to the pinned comment on the Youtube video, it's from "an earlier book," which I think means it's from a UA playtest file?Gack! Where is that personality one from. I didn't see that in the spelljammer Adventurer's guide or Menagerie. :-/

It's from the Forgotten Realms Wiki. So, not 5e lore.According to the pinned comment on the Youtube video, it's from "an earlier book," which I think means it's from a UA playtest file?
No, some of what's in the OP is pulling from an old war Wiki. 5E SJ softened the situation...but kept way too much.As far as I can tell, the slavery thing is all new lore. I'm not sure what the person that wrote that thought it added.
It's on the Forgotten Realms wiki, and the source is Stormwrack, a 3.5-era book from 2005. There's nothing at all like that in the recent Spelljammer release.According to the pinned comment on the Youtube video, it's from "an earlier book," which I think means it's from a UA playtest file?
Maybe some Errata.well, this is going to be unpleasant for them, we going to get a product recall or something?
Looks like the personality stuff is from the forgotten realms wiki and taken from 3rd Ed Stormwrack, not the new SpelljammerGack! Where is that personality one from. I didn't see that in the spelljammer Adventurer's guide or Menagerie. :-/
Niye that the really weird stuff in the second post is from a Wiki, not the new book. That's old lore, the Unhukan War comes up nowhere in this set.Wow. I noticed this on twitter and at first I thought it was just bad form to have a race that has a slavery narrative. But looking at parts of the description people are posting...wow. This is Nu-TSR level stuff...
Wow, still WotC era...yikes.Looks like the personality stuff is from the forgotten realms wiki and taken from 3rd Ed Stormwrack, not the new Spelljammer
