Wizard of the Coast to remove racial stereotypes from the lore.
While this includes editing some past racist descriptions, as well as adding more diverse writers, the game's designers are also making a fundamental change to the way certain playable characters are portrayed.
"It is this thing lurking under the surface that really is painful for people who have faced those sorts of stereotypes in the real world," says Jeremy Crawford, the principal rules designer for D&D.
Lauren Frazier is game developer and a massive D&D fan. When she first started getting into the game, and was trying to encourage her Black friends to do the same, she got a certain amount of hesitance.
"It's hard to see yourself in any role playing D&D if you're a person of color — specifically Black and brown people," she says. "A lot of the characters that are black or brown or blue ... they're evil, they're very one dimensional. And D&D is a game about being yourself and being anyone you want to be."
"It's just they will be villains because they have made villainous choices, not because they were born villainous," says Crawford.
Reading the backlash to this has shown how ignorant and uncreative some players are. A lot of the hot takes are that now there won't be any conflict and everything will be safe.
As a Planescape and Eberron aficionado, those players are shitheads.
You do not need universal racial alignments.
Pathfinder 2nd edition humble bundle.
https://www.humblebundle.com/books/p...aizo-inc-books
$5 for Core + Adventure
$10 for World Guide
$20 for Bestiary + Character Guide
(also $30 + shipping for a physical Core book)
It does not have any 2020 books though, so no Gamemastery Guide (DMG), Bestiary 2, or the Gods & Magic supplement.
And while it has adventures, it has no Adventure Paths.
A small update to the Pathfinder 2e humble bundle.
No new items, but with 30k bundles sold, Paizo has sold out of their stock of the physical core books.
On one hand, this means delays if you wanted one. On the other hand, it means a new print run of the core book that will have errata applied is on the way, so if you want THAT, maybe wait on getting the physical book.
If any of you all like watching/listening to D&D games you might want to check out twitch.tv/arcadum. He is running 8 different campaigns that are all in the same home brewed world with some popular twitch streamers like MoonMoon, AdmiralBahroo, Ster, Strippin, Dodger, Timmac, Surefour, Lilypichu, and DisguisedToast. His 8th campaign he just started two weeks ago with some vtubers including ProjectMelody, Silvervale and Ironmouse. Really interesting story going on. Three of the campaigns are doing a 3 part mega-dungeon with their own wings but a shared camp. And the players are so into their games that they will show up for the other sessions when they are in camp for additional role play and lore dumps. Dude is wholesome and super passionate about DMing and D&D.

So, this just happened, in tonight's session. We stumbled upon a ship, frozen in an iceberg, heading north, to our objective. We defeated an ice troll, and were exploring, while I, a really dumb orc barbarian, was sleeping after a Frenzy fight. A white dragon pops down on us, as this is actually her lair, and long story short, it's a bit insane and wouldn't let us leave, but wasn't going to eat us just yet either. They woke me up, and as I love being strong and being around strong things, excitedly ran up to talk to it. One of my character traits is that I'm looking for a previous character, from another session, that I got split from, and pretty much no matter what it is, I ask if they've seen her. We're actually on our way to the last spot she was rumored to go, and it was tied into the adventure we're doing, so, mutual objective with the party.
Long story short, said white dragon didn't think we'd survive, so she said no. I sincerely asked her if she wanted to come along with us and make sure we made it back alive. DM asked me to roll persuasion, which I rolled a crit fail of 1 + 5 since I'm trained in it. DM rolls a crit fail of 1 + 1. Said dragon is now coming with us and the DM has to figure out what to do now; no idea what was originally planned, but this definitely wasn't it.
