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

Survival in d&d is a skill that is already governed (I think) by location (I could be wrong).  A ranger from Faerun used to surviving in the temperate wilderness might not be able to do the same in the desert.

With regards to the Forgotten Realms setting, to a certain extent I might still expect to see Kobolds and Orcs because if the same “Good” (aka playable) races exist – and they generally do – I would expect to see the same “bad” (aka non playable) races similarly translocated.  Certainly in Forgotten Realms.  If Faerun is ethnically diverse then I would basically expect the same diversity of species and ethnicities within those species to exist across the whole globe.
