This is the biggest entry point they've had since the original Baldurs Gate. "Hey here's Dungeons and Dragons on your computer, featuring all of the famous Dungeons and Dragons things around. Look, squid people and flying cats". This is what the movies were supposed to be, and the latest movie actually succeeds at doing, unlike the originalsWhat do you think they'd get their expectations from instead? Fantasy doorstoppers are out and romantasy is in, and lemme tell you, I do not trust most DMs to try and use romantasy as a setting theme.The other place they're going to get it from is Skyrim, and by the sound of it, the idea of tabaxi and lizardmen replacing dwarves and halflings as stock races is going to blow people's heads wide openYou provide the 'curated' list earlier which was the dull, boring, stock standard 2e base game option list. Not even any slightly exotic stuff like aquatic elvesCould I play an expy of Urag from Skyrim? He's a pretty simple thing1: A non-evil orc2: An orc wizard. Pretty smart.3: Collects booksThat's all you need to play as Urag. D&D supports all of this completely stock right now. Could I play that in your campaign? This stock, easy, Dungeons and Dragons supported character?Sounds like a problem with your campaign if it can't handle such stock, simple Dungeons and Dragons ideas. People will come at your game with stuff like Skyrim being touch points so of course they'll want ideas inspired from thereI love you've just ignored how completely and utterly halflings are demolished in that chart. Look at that, they're not even a fraction of Dragonborn's majesty</blockquote>
