GMs are going to literally rewrite game lore and mechanics to remove racism

[SonoftheNorth]

They're discussing that too, even saying that if they do change racial bonuses they are open to giving people a race change. So yeah, that's gonna be weird.

That's actually pretty reasonable, if you didn't pick dark elf because of the negative trading modifier and picked giantman or something then they remove the trading modifier it's kinda bullshit and unfair.

Yeah just gonna be weird seeing people completely change their race when the obvious solution is to keep everything the way it is.

Like how much coding time is this going to eat up?

[RichardCranium]

That's gonna get ya banned.

Once I explain to the GM's that I'm on the right side of fantasy history all will be forgiven.

We'll just wait for the simucoin fix. They fixed halflings with the encumbrance potion so...

No one is changing races or having bonuses changed. Kveta threw that out there as an example of the scope of the change the industry is seeing as a whole is (wizards with DND specifically). People hyperfocused on it (i know gemstone players? WEIRD). Wyrom has since clarified that isn't happening.

I can't believe one of the GMs actually said that, well not "fantasy history", just that they want to be on the right side of history about this.

Like 2 years from now no one is going to care that GS changed their own lore for whatever reason they are claiming they are doing it for, 20 years from now this game will most likely have been long gone.

No Kveta said it's a change that might come to GS but did say it wasn't something they were focusing on now.

I'm sure Wyrom will cave in to that eventually.

In essence, they are trying to impact change in real life by making changes in a fantasy game that will have no real impact on the real life problems they are trying to impact.

I.E. Karen has officially taken over Simutronics.

Kveta isn't dev, qualified the statement as as that (i'm not dev but IF this happens you would get race change blah blah). she way overspoke on that tangent. No one is getting changed in the mangler.
