Well, in older editions, orcs and goblins were weaker in direct sunlight.

My all-time favorite:

Dracula, but what if played by John Travolta?

It definitely was the New Coke of D&D. It was quite popular, but never managed to convince a lot of the core fans it was a proper replacement for the previous version. So they went back to something more similar to the previous form, with some modifications to make it a little like the New...

Revise the rules so all knit caps are henceforth known as beanies.

Warduke, you know I can't say no to you. Come here, you bad boy.

Yehimal appears to be essentially unpopulated. Durpar entirely lacks any sense of ethnic diversity. Durpar, for instance, has an almost singular religion, with only a minority practicing typical Faerunian religion, and apparently, the entire country is focused otherwise on wealth. It doesn't...

A hobgoblin was a house elf, typically depicted as a shapeshifter who was helpful but easily offended. "Hob" is just a nickname for Robert, so the name means "Bob goblin." The mythical hydra was truly immortal. Its last head had to be buried under a rock to prevent its regeneration. The...

I didn't even think about FR back then. Spirit folk are common as heck. They have low ability score requirements, can be samurai, and live comfortably in human society. Then why does it have hooves? What do you think it is? I'm not excusing racism in the game. I'm making an observation...

Why, yes. I happen to have a copy handy right here. I always played a spirit folk samurai, and this is a game where you can play a crab. Somebody better tell this guy before he gets in trouble: To be fair, it's an authentically Japanese racist caricature of the Ainu people.

It's an observation-interaction problem. One the roles stop being descriptive and starting being prescriptive, the description stops applying to those roles. It's a reification of something that doesn't enhance the game.

How is Kara-Tur low magic? To me it's the land of wu jen, and guys riding quilin.

Fabula Ultima, cover to cover. Not just representative of the JRPG/manga genre, but better than most of it. Just beautiful. The cover to Warhammer Fantasy Role-play 1e is just perfect. It's very "metal" but hasn't quite gone overboard with stylized elements. It tells you what exactly is inside...

Generally speaking, you just want to avoid any big clangers. Things than make people go, "They printed WHAT?"

So let's use the category American vegan. I would argue that the American identity is strong enough that people will "American vegan" has some level of tension with a general picture of an American. Is American vegan a strong category? Do people have a strong impression of what an American vegan...
