D&D drops the word “race”
Dungeons & Dragons announcement:
we understand “race” is a problematic term that has had prejudiced links between real world people and the fantasy peoples of D&D worlds. The usage of the term across D&D and other popular IP has evolved over time. Now it’s time for the next evolution.
They’re shifting to using “species”. The general reaction seems to be positive. A few grumbly folks on either extreme complaining a wee bit, but generally seen as the right move.
