Will WoTC ever readd half-races to 5e 2024?
>>97804712Maybe, maybe not. I understand their reasoning for moving away from them, but the half-assed coverup they did gave us the hilarious option for halfling and gnome women to give birth to orcs and goliaths.
>>97804736They had reasoning?
>>97804765This.What reasoning?
>>97804712No. Racemixing is verboten.
>>97804765>>97804837They were trying to sand off anything that could be even slightly perceived as a rough edge, which included ‘mixed race’ being something unique and outside the norm.It’s not exactly good reasoning, mind, but it is a form of reasoning.
They already did for a new Eberron supplement.
>>97804712Who cares? Every WotC version of D&D has been absolute shit and there is no reason anyone with a functioning brain and ever a shred of self respect wouldn't choose to play something better. You people are like battered housewives.
>>97805067>mfw they refuse to read other TTRPGs>mfw they refuse to make a homebrew setting>mfw they refuse to make a custom campaign>mfw they refuse to foster even an ounce of creativity to write a world that actually adheres to their values, beliefs or interestsI will condemn WotC until the day I die for being toxic positivislop made by jaded whitebeards who think vomiting rainbows and pronouns will get them into gay trans heaven, but after condemning them you have to *do something else.* Does that make sense to anyone? Am I crazy? Like, I can say I hate Golarion and think it's gay as hell, but if I'm still playing in Golarion and changing nothing about the lore than I'm just griping.
>>97805097the people who cry about it arent the ones playing in it, anon. The people who cry about it do not play games at all.You should have noticed that about /tg/ by now.
>>97804957This is true, OP doesn't play games./thread
>>97804712I dunno, I asked why half-ling still remained and got kicked out
Is this puckee art?
Monkeys pawYou can only play as half races but they are known as a single race
>>97805258Name the race "Mongrel" and it's perfect.
>>97804712>Let communist faggots take over your hobby>Yell at anyone who comments on it or protests it>Now hobby is shit coloredLmao. Good things there are other games, no thanks to any of you.
>>97805339>communist=anyone who doesn't like /pol/tards ruining tablesAt last I see...
>>97805339>neoliberal rainbow capitalists = communists>I cannot tell who my enemies are so I point fingers at scarecrows so I can be divided and conquered like good goycattleBiggest useful idiot I've seen on /tg/ in weeks
>>97805350It's amazing how so much discourse can be boiled down to one side refusing to believe "their side" did anything to cause the current culture. This applies to /pol/tards and Baizuo.
>97805339>frogposter is a retardEvery single time.
>>97805097This guy gets it
>>97805350I'm not sure how that makes any senseCHUDS aren't know for their creativity so not a single one was ever writing for wotc (or any RPGs) at any point.
>>97805213rent free
>>97804908As we all know, when a horse nuts in that donkey pussy, the end result is either a horse or donkey, not some weird in-between thing.
>>97806275Yes. A mule. We get it. Hybrids exist. Do you think WotC cares? No, and acting clever and "pointing out" how they're wrong does nothing, solves nothing, and frustrates everyone involved. They don't care if their rulings don't make logical sense. They're not working on logic. They're working on that weird, quasi-religious logic. They're working on spirituality. You can't treat that with logical fallacies or dry discussions on biology. They have faith that what they are doing is the righteous thing - not the right thing, the righteous thing.
>>97804712half-races are simply ruled as using the rules for one parent or anothertheres no reason to create 20 different half-X profiles all of which are blended traits of both parents, and all of which are always half-human, half-something else
>>97806275Thank god that even with everything else ground down to dust I can still come here and see people talking about horse sex.
>>97806721Horse pussy is our only comfort in these trying times.
>>97804712>readd to 5e 2024 >wotc has a time machine huh weird choices they've been making to alter the timeline, everything's still fucked.
>no half breedsSo race mixing bad? How bigotted wotc.......
>>97804712No, they think racemixing is cringe now.
>>97807260How many hybrids of dog and shark have you seen, anon?Are they different species or aren't they? You can't have it both ways. It's not a matter of whether it's bad or not. The notion that they are somehow completely different types of creature and yet the same species is literally what racism means.So WotC finally got rid of the old 1970s Gygaxian racism.Hate WotC, I never use their shit. I hate their entire game design philosophy. I hate their business practices. I hate their aesthetic. I fucking hate WotC.But you're not winning this one.
>>97806635>Yes. A mule.No, Anon, not a mule. The anon you replied to said ass vagina/horse ejaculate, that makes it a hinny. A mule is a male ass/female horse hybrid.This isn't just a historical fact that now only nerds like to say "acksually" about, it's a practical distinction with roots now known to arise in epigenetics. Due to genes being expressed differently depending upon whether they are inherited from male or female parent there are physiological and behavioural differences between mules and hinnies. Mules are generally larger and more suitable for farm labour.There are also practical concerns about mating. Stallions are larger than jacks by height and weight making it difficult for the jenny to support the stallion. The stallion's larger penis may have difficulty entering the jenny's vagina. If inserted it may cause distress to the jenny especially if it reaches her cervix. This can lead to reduced copulation time reducing likelihood of conception. A jack being smaller has a much easier time being received by a mare and remaining there long enough to successful impregnate her. Due to differences between hinnies and mules, no one really wants to produce hinnies so artificial insemination is infrequent. For some reason, there is also a higher rate of successful pregnancy being carried to term for mules than hinnies.Applied to games, it would be grounded in biology and animal husbandry to say a half-elf could have different qualities depending on whether the elf was mother or father. If, as is often the case so much it has become a trope, the half-elf is the result of a sexual assault by a male human on female elf, this might be the only way that such interbreeding happens due to potential discomfort (humanity for the win, they have bigger penises). Male elf/female human (larger penises implies larger vaginas) may be more common. Obviously this has FATAL potential but you could just hand wave the precise biological reason and not discuss penis size.
>>97808153>this anon has never heard of fantasy before>doesn't understand that the very thing he's arguing about supports calling them races rather than speciesSad!
>>97808153Explain with citations and scientific notation why fantasy has to be realistic in this one, very specific case (genetics) but not in every other case (flying dragons with 4 limbs, dead coming back to life, etc). >because magicthere you go, the races can make half-breeds because of the magic inherent in them.I'm really tired of the typical "Why would X be like this? It's not realistic for X to be like this." and then "why do you care about Y? It's a setting with magic and dragons!" being spouted by the same people about the same setting.
>>97804712No? there's no reason to do that, you can be a half species if you want to, Right now.
>>97804837Mixed race people are problematic.
>>97804712What i found absolutely retarded is how they decided to go with it>ok we need to remove half races because that's racist (?)>now we're going to jump through hoops to retcon this nonsense in GREYHAWK!>no, we're not using MYSTARA where half races don't exist, which also conveniently has all sorts of beast races and gonzo shit running everywhere, hurr durr.
>>97808153Counterpoint:I am pretty sure Ligers exist despite the fact that Tigers and Lions are different species. Wolfdogs, Mules, Grolar bears all exist. Two species can be separate yet capable of crossbreeding if they share a similarity of origins. So the existence of viable half-breeds depends on the setting. Halflings because of their origin should be able to crossbreed with tons of stuff.(In 3.5 Greyhawk)Also unrelated, I'm pretty sure you replied to an Anon who was just poking fun.
