#Free5e just renamed Game Master, Druid, and more, ditching colonial slurs and cultural appropriation for new bold, inclusive terms. Controversial? Maybe. Necessary? Absolutely. #DnD #TTRPG

  • Book & Kindle displaying cover: As our heroes fight the hydra, we see just some of the variety of symptoms represented in this book. The paladin has a prosthetic arm to assist with their amputation. The barbarian rages from their wheelchair, providing mobility for their paralyzed legs. The ranger, whose body is more accustomed to an aquatic environment just as someone in the real world may be more comfortable in a quieter or darker sensory environment, finds ways to compensate and keep fighting. The wizard’s vitiligo may not be thought of as a disability, nor should it be, yet many in the real world experience severe discrimination due to unusual skin pigment — how many celebrities, corporate executives, or politicians do you know with visibly irregular skin?

A note on language: I am aware that terminology is important when discussing disability; no community is homogenous, and I am aware that, in the debate between people who prefer identity-first or person-first language, there is an obvious access clash. Since this is currently unavoidable without being less than ideal for someone, I have decided to alternate the two approaches in my writing.
