Why are tieflings so popular? How did they manage to outcompete all the other wacky races to win their place in mainstream D&D?

[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7595937, member: 5142"] Though 2E Planescape gave us playable tieflings, 4E rebranded the tieflings that have since propagated in 5E. As to why they are popular? Probably because there is a more baked-in story with tieflings. The game can't just write "these are elves, and we already assume you know what and how elves are." So offering more baked-in story in the writing for tieflings gets a lot of imaginations flowing, particularly for newer players. Similar with warlock, which is a class that essentially provides a baked-in story. [/QUOTE]
