they are correct
they are a reference to the english
🇳🇱
@icedquinn I still want to know how LOTR movie got away with every single person being white except for orcs and trolls who were almost all black people.....
I feel like cancel culture missed a prime oppertunity with that one.
@icedquinn wait.. mixed races are racist now.... man I am **not** getting all my memos!
> With the proposed changes aimed for inclusivity, the new edition for Dungeons & Dragons will be removing direct references to Half-Elves and Half-Orcs, opting for a more generic way of determining mixed species. In addition, they will not be directly named in official D&D published and digital content in the future.
to address the inherent racism that we made the fuck up, we are just memory holing any references to mixed race people. progressive!
@icedquinn So wait... its racist to recognize a persons mixed race heritage..... so how are we supposed to refer to someone who is half black and half asian now?
@icedquinn hahah so they keep telling me :)
everyone: noo they're evil you can't play that
fandom:
what if the purple dommy mommy was chaotic neutralsalvatore:
nooo i won't allow elistraee clerics to get any screen timeeveryone:
uh oh we better remove that race because they're one dimension and evilfandom:
because you kept ignoring our attempts to fix it
@icedquinn haha drows are actually a cool race with so much potential as a playable character with the right DM!
@icedquinn fuck that shit... I can add anything i can imagine or want to the world... I always found pathfinder and other books to be suggestions at best anyway.
Just stupid to get rid of them, they were an awesome race!
@icedquinn Did they at least keep driders?
@icedquinn lame, driders were cool too!
@icedquinn that tracks, lol
I wonder what the licensing is on the underdark tbf. It’s interesting listening to Ed Greenwood et al talk about NDAs, setting rewrites, IP merges, etc as they often add “oh, well we couldn’t keep that due to X holding Y.”
Yeah, I shared the video on her as the NDA was just lifted like last month or so!
LOL
@icedquinn lame! I guess kids these days just cant handle anything dark....
@icedquinn@blob.cat @freemo@qoto.org ?? https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Drow
Oh i guess they're getting mem holed in the remastered editions. I can't imagine that's going to work out in their favor. I bet most people will just use the current lore/rules for them and carry on. Tho they are only barely close to D&D drow to begin with. Different universes and all.
@icedquinn@blob.cat @freemo@qoto.org That doesn't surprise me actually. Both paizo and WOTC are full tilt ahead trying to SJW harder into total irrelevance. I meant in terms of the audiences.
you should be less of a science denier, gosh.
