How possible is it to become physically attracted to a member of another race in your games?
Is it just humans and elves - and occasionally orcs - like in most standard fantasy? Or are even elves so utterly uncanny to look at to make it impossible, and orcs find even human girls too hideous to rape? What of even more inhuman beings, such as goblins, or lizardfolk, or beholders? Where do you draw the line?
How much of this can true love compensate?

>Interracial No.
Joshua Price
Given how common various atypical desires and fetishes are in humans, I don't think it would be that uncommon, even between very different races. Not the standard, sure, but far from unheard of.
It also depends heavily on the nature of your setting. Are you assuming that all the races are, as they are in the real world, genetically distinct evolved species where the lack of attraction between different species makes sense?
What about a world of literal divine creation of sentient creatures? Is there a reason the various races of that world wouldn't be able to interbreed, or that they'd be psychologically primed to be against the notion in any way?
Jeremiah Anderson
I draw the line where "interracial" becomes "interspecies".
Humans, elves, orcs, halflings, dwarves, and occasionally goblins are one type. Kobolds, lizardfolk, troglodytes, and maybe dragons another. Gnolls get along fine with any other canine races there might be. Aberrations (beholders etc.) are right out.
It's always harder than with your kind, but occasionally happens. Good personality helps a lot.
Ryder Clark
Each race would have standards of beauty based on how their sexual selection works. The further from that race's normal sexual selection, the more deviant a member would have to be in order to be attracted to that race.
So humans, elves, and other closely humanoid species should have some level of interracial attraction, but it doesn't make sense for there to be strong levels of attraction between elves and gnolls, or orcs and beholders, or something similarly outlandish, unless both members just have really depraved fetishes compared to other members of their race.

Charles Parker
Humans.
Chase Allen
In my games? It's very possible indeed. Humans are pretty xenophilliac in real-life, to the point there's ancient records of Greco-Roman brothels that freely offered animal prostitutes.
I can't see them being any less interested in banging when confronted by species that can actually talk and take an interest back.
Hells, I'd love to try and spin a world where humanity's "hat" is "humans will bang almost anything that flirts with them, and probably breed with it in the bargain".
But then, I feel we should have half-dwarves, half-goblins and half-gnomes as valid D&D races. Maybe a "Strongheart" (human-blooded) halfling subrace too - after all, we already got dwarf-blooded (Stouts) and elf-blooded (Tallfellows) halflings in canon...
Adam Murphy
Grew up in a liberal country that never had slavery or any history of racial hatred, and grew up around only whites without any racial prejudices whatsoever, and I haven't really picked up any since then either, and I'm sure black and asian people are just humans like everyone else, etc. I feel genuinely zero physical attraction toward black or asian women. They can be adorable, they can seem friendly, and so on, but there's no attraction.
I don't know if it's just me, but I've always wondered if it was something that got wired up before adulthood, because I was seventeen or eighteen before I even saw a black or asian person in real life.
Jaxson Richardson
I can see how someone might not be attracted to black girls, since they so aesthetically dissimilar from whites, but how do you avoid being attracted to Asians?
Jonathan Peterson
That's how I run my humans.
Willing to bang anything that moves. It sort of helps that most species probably came from humans anyway, but when your racial Goddess is a Goddess of harvest and childbirth, you get a lot of healthy hungry hybrid kids running around.

Kevin Mitchell
I've always assumed that the "half" races (half-elf, half-orc) are human-centric because elf+human and orc+human are the only interracial couples capable of producing. Everything else just doesn't result in a baby because the details in the DNA don't line up.
Carter Flores
But then you get to the point mentioned earlier.
In a setting where literal divine creation of races is a thing, is DNA and real world genetics a logical basis for such things?
Grayson Carter
In mine, the gods have to "aprove" of a baby to be conceived. Everytime a half-orc is born, is because an aspect of Corellon is beating an aspect of Gruumsh in cosmic arm wrestling. Just to spite him, to be honest.
James Watson
I think asians can be very pretty in their own way. Extremely pretty, even. But they just don't give me a stiffy; I don't feel anything sexual toward them. Not even in porn. Hentai and stuff is fine, but the moment it's a real asian or black chick, there's just no response.
Levi Hernandez
Well, in that case the gods obviously wanted certain couplings to be possible and others not.
Unless the gods just created fully biological creatures with DNA, etc. and it all comes back to the same thing, except it's just "clearly this god copy+pasted the basic framework of X race to make Y race, or they wouldn't be compatible"
Jaxson Garcia

Brody Martin
I'm currently working on a setting with a basic idea that all races are sexually compatible (within reason), but all offspring are purebloods, mostly random but some races take precedence, and context and circumstances of conception and birth can influence it. Embracing a magically created world and rejecting real world things like genetics in favour of species being more mystically and conceptually defined.

Brandon Richardson
Asians are no less dissimilar than blacks, really. The similarities are just distributed differently.
Isaiah Brown
There're some pretty insane fetishes in our world, and I like to think there've always been.
It's probably safe to assume that the further away from your race something is, the less attractive it becomes for the average person, but you never need a justification for someone wanting to fuck a dragon except that they want to fuck dragons.
Austin Ramirez
>What about a world of literal divine creation of sentient creatures? Is there a reason the various races of that world wouldn't be able to interbreed, or that they'd be psychologically primed to be against the notion in any way? In that case, principally if the god or gods who had a hand in creating them disliked the idea, or felt making them compatible with some others was too inconvenient or compromising to their vision for their chosen people (maybe lizard god is really insistent on the cloacas and double-barrel dongs for some reason)

Take a trip to /aco/ and see how many goblins, orcs, draenei, yordles, argonians, khajiit, snakefolk, asura, sylvari, charr and giantesses you find.
Hell, just look at the prevalence of furry as a fetish. If other sapient species existed, humans would be fucking the shit out of them. Whether they would also like to fuck us is harder to say.

That, and women have no standards whatsoever, and it's just a test of skill in undermining her restraint an inexperience in intimate matters.
Liam Ortiz
You know, actually I'm thinking to "reset" races also becuase of the whole "unattractive dwarves vs overattractive elves" thing. I want all races to be more or less attractive on equal footing.
Andrew Johnson
This is the dumbest thing. I don't understand why you keep reposting it.
Ryan Hernandez
It'a more the question of if genetics are even a thing, or if some mystic mumbo jumbo equivalent exists, or if there's an entirely distinct and different in setting definition for what a species is.
Levi Clark
You realize this has been reposted for years by many people, right?
Jason Murphy
>Is it of secual maturity for its species? Reminder that you have to take laws into account as well. Human children reach sexual maturity years before it's legal to fuck them, for example.
Benjamin Powell
On a logical level, humans have been fucking every animal, plant and rock they can find since the beginning of time, so stuff like this would be the (taboo) norm.
On a practical game level, why the fuck would I want That Guy bait like this in my game?
Oliver Foster
I wouldn't have dragon as the thing that can breed with anything, in most of my settings I'd have humans in that position.
Jordan Watson
What if your playing with friends and one of your players just really likes gnolls, does that make him That Guy?
Dominic Richardson
I've seen players that really like elves fuck shit up just as much. Filthy degenerates.
So long as any possible deviancies stay away from the game, I don't see a problem.
Besides, romance is fun.
Nathaniel Sullivan

But what if they had really nice tits though? How could you feel nothing for a great set of tits just cause they're the wrong color?
Evan Thompson
You are not alone my dear user. Most people when I tell them this think that I am a racist. But I just feel no sexual attraction to non white people.
Aiden Torres
So if you were a human raised among a whole bunch of, say, orcs, could you find those equally or even more attractive than your own kind?
Jacob Gomez
But...tits man! It's not like you're dealing with a sapient housefly. They've got all the standard human sexual markers. How does that do nothing for you?
Ryan Russell
For all the love kobolds get, by lore they think most all other races are quite repulsive. For instance they would see a Fffiine human female as having the attractiveness of grungy ogre. Also, they breed souly for the sake of reproduction, so unless you magical realmed that they can make mutant half breed with anything like the dragons they claim to be descended from, they wouldn't be interested... also that means no kobolds would be gay... Lots of gay kobold art out there...
Ryder Sullivan
They are not white. Even white girls with too much tan put me off. I'm also more an ass than tits kind of guy
Isaac Bailey
In my games there was once a kobold that, against all odds, fell in love with a human. Stranger still, the human ultimately thought he was okay and they got married.
They essentially bent reality in order to be able to have children... something that, in hindsight, may have been a terrible mistake, for half-kobolds turned out to combine the kobold propensity of fucking a lot with the human habit of fucking everything.
For reasons specified in your post, kobolds in particular see them as race-traitors. Few others like them much either, although they make for good prostitutes (both genders) because they're pretty good at what they do.
Oliver Howard
I always figured that because they are basically tiny dragon then they can make halfbreeds with only minor difficulty. It just happens so rarely that no one thinks its possible.... Totally my magical realm right there.
Henry Ross
>white is a sexual marker Well I guess I really can't understand how one gets like this
Elijah Sullivan
If he's enacting his sexual desires or preferences or whatever through the game in a group of people he doesn't know for sure are comfortable with those kinds of topics, then yeah, he's That guy.
If he's your friend and you and the other players don't have any objection or show any awkwardness towards it, then no.
Kayden Thomas
>enacting his sexual desires or preferences or whatever through the game in a group of people he doesn't know for sure are comfortable with those kinds of topics
By the way, this point is entirely race-neutral. He could be a gnoll, a dwarf, or a human, and it'd matter in equal amounts.
Owen Ward
Tits (or other sexual markers) in isolation aren't enough to make something appealing. The gestalt has to work.
Bentley Butler
>bardic fucking checklist, mandatory for all bards. M and N are not ruling out, but challenges and heroic feats.

Interracial relationships in my setting are a thing. Not very common and people would give a couple stange looks but whatever.
These relationships can lead to the born of children and even pure race children of the mother or father side if the gods whi the couple worship are pals with each other.
Wyatt Evans
What are some of the weirdest couples to have been depicted in your games or setting background?
Liam Sanders

Adrian Hill
It's not only you, but it is abnormal.
Humans are genetically predisposed to want rare or exotic mates. This is why there are so many people who develop a 'fetish' for another ethnicity. It's not really a fetish, it's just how human psychology has worked for the last few hundred thousand years.
You're weird, user, but there ain't nothing wrong with you. You're not not the norm.
Jack Gomez
>Humans are genetically predisposed to want rare or exotic mates Citation needed
Logan Fisher
its easier to go with pureblood of whichever subtype is higher on the chain.
William Powell
Not really big variety of species that can actually have offspring. Your usual elves, orcs + some other minor races. But it also actually depend of what kind of god you decid to worship. If you will worship ssome god that can be related to that of some other races then eventually gods can allow you to have offspring with someone from that race. Religion based interspecies compatibility in other words. The same alligment = you can have kids together.
Benjamin Green
In my setting, it's possible, but heavily looked down upon, as half-breeds are infertile. Half elves and half dwarves and all that are pretty rare because they just can't reproduce. It's like crossing a horse with a donkey. Mules cant give birth to half-mules
Was it a male elf or female elf?
I'd fuck a gnoll. Any day of the week

I don't know - they mostly do it to pictures of attractive lizard people that sexualize them and get rid of their flaws. I'd imagine if lizardmen and gnolls were real, they'd look far less idealized.

Brandon Gonzalez
I like the idea that for most interspecies couplings there is (usually) an equal chance of the offspring being the species of either parent but with features of the other. An Elf Woman with a Human Man might have a human Daughter who is lithe, light on her feet, and longer lived compared to regular humans, and an Elf son who is much more rugged than other elves, able to grow a full beard, stronger, etc, but they are both distinctively Human and Elf respectively. But they don't breed true, so two humans with elf heritage will pass down some of their Elvish features, but they will be more diluted than the offspring of a human and an elf.
Daniel Nelson
If tits are all one needed then men could be happy with water balloons and stress balls.
Easton Campbell
Very, I have yellow fever, is not that strange to feel attracted to members of a different race
>Elves, orcs Ah...those races, dunno, if they look attractive, in my case they need to look as human as possible, for example coneheaded bug eyed DnD elves are hideous to me
Thomas Wright
>People would get used to it This. It would probably be even easier because unless you'd grow up surrounded by the "exotic race" every day you probably wouldn't have the same level of scrutiny for what the race would consider "ideal features". As humans many of us have those superficial preferences for a potential mate's features (size of earlobes, shape of nose, eye spacing, etc.), but that's because we seen enough humans day-to-day that we can point out these differences easier; even then many people find it difficult to tell others of a certain race/ethnicity apart if they're not used to seeing them.
Meanwhile, the human guy who wants to bone a gnoll (no pun intended) is probably going to be ecstatic nonetheless if he finds one who reciprocates his cross-species interests. He probably won't care about what the other gnolls would gossip about her behind her back, because he probably doesn't have that level of familiarity with them.
