Making Orcs and Drow not evil will make a lot of teenage boys uninterested in playing Orc or Drow characters.

pathfinder did something similar with goblins, altho in that case i think it’s mostly fine because they way they did it expands the storytelling possibilitieshttps://twitter.com/acidshill/status/1270832531558948864 …

Homebrewing OSR rules is better anyway. I don't know why everyone sits around and waits for official rules/modules to come out.

Hmm, I always disliked the D&D alignment system and the way it had basically evil races. At the same time I feel like Switch from the Matrix saying "Not like this..." Changing this due to a moral panic and covering their ass is way more lame than seeing it as bad storytelling...

Do your own worldbuilding. Imagine what happens in: - "cursed paradise", population limited by diseases, not lack of food; - expensive-labor Malthusian; - cheap-labor Malthusian conditions. Then say "the orcs are adapted to an environment like that, of course they are that way".

The irony is that this invocation of individuality and personal action is 1-2 anti-racism waves back from the shoreline. If they were doing woke proper they’d double down on Orc identity and accuse centuries of Elven oppression for Gruumshish racialism.
