[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6114484, member: 8835"] That's effectively what I do as well. Partly to not intentionally exclude anybody who really isn't the same gender/race/attraction, partly to not exclude anything thing the game. Per some other thread that wasn't about this, I proposed rolling the gender randomly when you create NPCs. You could extend that to race and preference if you wanted. I suspect we pick straight white guys for NPCs because we are straight white guys. Not as a deliberate anything, just as an unthinking default. Personally, I see the same challenge trying to incorporate black NPCs into the game. With the D&D races, I just make them come from different places (like their real world counterparts). So saying where black people come from isn't as obvious to me, because other than "from a place like Africa", which i don't tend to put in my euro-medieval worlds, kinda makes it hard. I think the simplest thing is just to roll for it. Get 1, this NPC's black, 2, this NPC's white, 3, this NPC's purple. Don't worry about the logistics. It's just D&D. [/QUOTE]
