#it was D&D that turned them into full Races and Species with numerical stats in the style of XIX century anthropology
Text
Tolkien wrote "half-elf" a couple times, and D&D was like "y'all mind if I bring back the sistema de castas"
#cosas mias#and when Tolkien wrote elves and half-elves while he was still as racist as one could expect from an Englishman born in South Africa#he was implying more of a connection to something supernatural (elves are more akin to what we could call 'fae')#it was D&D that turned them into full Races and Species with numerical stats in the style of XIX century anthropology#which speaks a lot about modern fantasy#fantasy#worldbuilding
