@sirblastalot @Ziggurat And it’s pretty clear that orcs and goblins and such started out as the stand-ins for those Natives.
A roleplayer frustrated at the structure of our society. She/her.

@GuerillaGrue @Shyfer 3rd Edition is when they even started *trying* to push back, by getting rid of class and level limits by species.
@Khrux @kbal The impression I’ve gotten over the years is that Gygax was certainly sexist at the time (expecting that D&D would obviously not be for women, for example) only to ease off as the years went by (being pleasantly surprised that actually women do like D&D). This contrasts with his racism, which I understand him to have hewed strongly to until the day he died.
@Shkshkshk @dnd Hags being considered fey, Sora Kell or any of her daughters would be appropriate.
@bradorsomething @copacetic WotC still owns the vast majority of D&D. The CC-BY release of the 5.1 SRD isn’t even all the core books of one edition… and we had to shout at them in order to make them release even *that* much, and not just the bits they didn’t think they could defend in court as a PR stunt.
In our current socioeconomic climate, I’m not sure anyone who’d *buy* D&D off of WotC’s corpse would want to *save* D&D like WotC did two decades ago, as opposed to copyright trolling.
@Enfors @rustyfish I’m of the opinion that PvP should only happen with mutual consent between the players.
