SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Any bets that WotC's next book will be about (woke) Drow?

I think There's a decent point to be made
I disagree.
I didn't say Tasha was making it. This predates Tasha by... I have no idea how long.

They can outsource it like some other books. Or bring in "diversity hires" to write it for them. Never underestimate WOTCs ability to shoot themselves in both feet and the head.

Every PC is special, but keeping a lid on stuff allows for more thematic and setting consistency.

Plus if you really let them go overboard, it becomes downright cancerous.

Maybe, if you are playing Dwarf world.

They really need to bring in some otherkin who identify as Drow to work on it as cultural consultants and sensitivity readers.

Think you mean "chanelers"... the ones that believe they are reincarnations of game characters. Though in this case otherkin probably fits too.
