hot #dm tip:
Just casually toss in diversity with your NPCs. Elves don't have to be dainty and white. Powerful nobles don't have to be men or straight.
Use pictures/minis of POC elves instead. Have the Countess be with her wife during a scene.
It doesn't have to be a HUGE DEAL to point out, but it means a lot.
@Miru Just had a discussion about this on Discord today!
One suggestion was to get a random NPC generator that automatically includes (random) descriptions, including eye-, hair-, and skin-color, and to *always* mention at least the latter two. Ideally the generator would generate nice, varied sentences for you, so it sounds natural.
That could probably be extended to relationships, too!
