Episode AI notes
- Playing as an orc was initially not allowed in Dungeons & Dragons, but players could create a half-orc character, raising questions about the portrayal of mixed race identities in the game.
- The term ‘half’ in the game implies that the other half is the ‘normal’ part, reinforcing societal notions about mixed race identities in real life.
- Humans used to be the baseline for comparison in terms of traits and stats in Dungeons & Dragons, giving them more freedom and choice compared to other races.
- The racial logic in the game reflects its racist origins, with examples such as the Oriental Adventures rule book and the stereotypical portrayal of the Romani-like Vistani culture.
