Brilliantology: Race in D&D

  • Chris Van Dyke · 1 year ago
    If D&D is not as white as it seems, that's thanks to players who inject race DESPITE the rules, not through them. If it's not as white as it seems, why are 99.4% of the illustrations of white adventures? In my article, I'm not asking people to stop playing the game or even really change how they play it. Just to think about it. Thanks for reading, and thanks even for disagreeing with it -- I've gotten a lot of spurious, not thought out responses, so its nice to have someone scoff at me politely and intelligently : ) Its also nice to hear about an ethnically diverse gaming group -- more of that would be good for FRPing in general.

    Thanks for commenting, and well, starting the debate. It has been an interesting thing to think about and has gotten a few of us talking about the subject outside of blogs and the internet itself. :)

    The point about the artwork being predominantly white is a fair one, I agree there at least! Funny thing is, I never actually realised that until it was pointed out! (But maybe that's because I automatically turn to pages that deal with different ethnicities in a setting and the various non-human subraces? :D)
