Reply To: D&D officially turning Forgotten Realms sights away from Euro inspired campaigns

Wasn’t there some kind of backlash last year because one of the D&D books/settings was considered ‘racist’ due to its use of eastern stereotypes ?

As much as I would love to see more non western settings for RPG’s I’m afraid that the modern climate won’t give it a fair chance due to a vocal minority forcing identity politics onto us.

There will be complaints about practically anything in those settings being racist and any other -ism available.
And you can be damn sure those complainers won’t even buy the books if they were updated according to their impossible list of demands.

btw :

If you want a non-western setting for D&D might I suggest “Arrows of Indra” ?

It’s based on Indian mythology and while it uses OSR I’m pretty sure it can be converted to 5th edition rules if need be :
