Getting into Esoteric Ebb. Enjoying it so far, though I do dislike some aspects of it (the combat fucking sucks and the D&D racism is tiring).

    What is D&D racism? Orcs are barbaric ace wielders and elves are sophisticated archers?

    Yeah, the whole race bioessentialism, especially the concept of evil races, that is so endemic to D&D and fantasy as a whole.

    I guess that stuff is based a lot on the Tolkien race concepts. It's an interesting thing when mythical creatures, often understood as inherently evil or chaotic, transform into playable races and fellow citizens in a fantasy world.
