Looks like we’re on track to easily exceed 7000 listings! Last year we had 7547 things posted in the VFM. Let’s see if we can beat that number. 🥳

For my fantasy setting, the "general understanding" about the biology of everything and the actual truth has quite the gap between them. Though most of my versions of lineages are distinct in their own funky way (hopefully, idk how well I achieve that).

High Elves are pretty much called that because they look the most like humans of the non-human races present, which is a big squint but it is an in-character designation given by humans (and accepted by the High Elves). My Forest Elves (wood elves, kind of) are closer to Divinity elves in that they are certainly different (though with some flavor of faerie nonsense, a Satyr would be considered a Forest Elf in my setting as an example). As such half-elves are usually High Elf specific and any other hybridization either requires magic that few people study or some divine influence.

Generally, I don't mind half-whatevers.

Don’t like them; I prefer fantasy races as iconic or mythic archetypes. Introducing mixed lineages like the world was created like Gregor Mendel brings a modern and scientific worldview to a fantasy setting, which leads to a tonal mismatch.

That extends to half-elves but I grudgingly accept them based on precedent.
