Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I don't know how this helps anything? People's disdain for each other is not about what you call it.
Regardless of my understanding though it's good to see them working to improve the game like this
Race was always a flawed idea. To be honest i think it's not that bad in a fantasy setting but it can also lead to some weird and uncomfortable stuff and i don't think there's a good reason to keep it.
On the flip side, "ancestries" or backgrounds or whatever are a lot more flexible as a concept and let you do some cool stuff.
yoo, that is a hella cool idea. Kinda like how some vampire movies work
