Godbleed: A land tainted by the blood of a fallen god. Anything that dies on its soil rises from the grave, an undead monster driven to kill.
At its edge lays the god's skeleton, crawling with prospectors that mine its divine marrow for profit.

The Wizards of Korr draw their power from an ancient ooze. With each spell they cast, more slime spills out, poisoning their land.
The only place left to go is up, and so the Tower of Korr climbs ever higher towards the sky.

This thread perfectly explains a white surpremacist's view of fantasy. Talking about other races as "demi-humans", seeing them as a reflection of humanity's "dark elements".
This is the kind of thinking white colonisers used to justify their subjugation of other peoples.

"Creating a character that works well in a collaborative game where everyone at the table should be having fun"
👆 This rule is so important at my table that players who keep going against the group because "it's what my character would do" are asked to roll a new character 😌

📢 Why is "Race", as used in Role-Playing Games, bad?
I've gotten this question more than a few times, so I put together the best answer I could muster -- I hope it helps.

A few years ago I was unhappy with the way I drew dragonborn, and didn't enjoy it very much either - So I set myself the task of trying to MAKE it fun, exploring different shapes and expressions.
Now I -love- dragonborn! Lots of shapes to play with!

Sometimes prep for D&D is writing down a bunch of murderous stat blocks and a damp corridor.
Other times prep for D&D is inventing a non-gendered wedding tradition that still in includes a dowry and you spend 6 hours going down that rabbit hole...

I do this thing in my campaigns called the "Adventure Journal", where I write summaries of games I run but through the thoughts of NPCs the characters meet.
Their characters will likely never learn of these thoughts -- but the players love reading them!

The Tullen are exemplary stone workers that have filled their land with monuments: from miles of stone pathways and grand temples that snake across the mountains to the gleaming pyramids of Stonehouse.
They are an ancient culture; their work has stood for centuries.

Magic behaves strangely in the frozen north: spells go awry; ripples of light play across the sky.
Aurans say that beneath the temple of grasp lies the titan of magic, with a thousand grasping hands each wielding a different spell. They worship it as the source of all magic 🤲

To create a meaningful NPC, give them two of the following traits:
🔹️Needs something from the party
🔹️Feels strongly about the party
🔹️Shares a goal with the party
🔹️Has something the party needs
🔹️Is from one of the PCs past
🔹️Is adorable and/or funny
How do you make NPCs meaningful in an adventure? What goes into the creative process of creating NPCs on a spectrum, that ranges from friendly party helpers to villains? What inspires you when building their motivations?

The Aslands receive a constant drizzle of ash from the Hellsmaw volcano to the south. The infernite ash is volatile, and causes constant wildfires.
The people that survive here are always on the move, following the fires and the brief bursts of life in their wake 🔥🐘

327 years ago, the Seal of Hell was broken. Hellsmaw erupted and brought forth the Devil-Lord Terrorius and his infernal legion.
Their rampage lasted for 30 years, burning and pillaging everything in their path, turning fertile lands and forests into desert.

My issue with your thread is that you don't ascribe monstrousness (or virtue) by action or creed, but by birth - and that's where the language becomes racist.
You perpetuate a bio-essentialist worldview that people of certain genetic profiles behave in predetermined ways (2/2)

Re:

A fantasy story is not devoid of meaning.
The way most fantasy races (especially in human-centered fantasy) are used in the story is often analogous to how colonialist literature depicted non-western people.

This "slave race" thing is so integral to the identity of some player races in D&D that we decided to re-write most of them for our adventures.
