Ah, good old Book of Erotic Fantasy. It's so gloriously stupid that everyone should own a copy. That table is by far not the silliest part of the book.

It's only bested by the official sex rulebook for The Dark Eye, which is an April Fools joke that spiraled out of control and has actual rules for intercourse – deliberately bureaucratic and unsexy ones included purely as a "you asked for it" joke at the reader's expense.

Honestly, Elder Scrolls has it right: the offspring of two different races will always be the race of the mother, but with some traits of the father.

None of that funny crossbreeding stuff, just keep it simple.

So basically your mitochondria decides your species?

Personally I like keeping it a little more complicated. It's the same race as the mother, unless the mother is a ditto, in which case it's the same race as the father.

At first I read this as "these species can fuck each other". Then I realized that this is only concerning conception, all these species could fuck each other as they please.

[–] Archpawn@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Y or M means you can fuck that species. N means you can fuck that species without protection.

No way would I fuck a bugbear without some sort of protection...

I see that nymphs bang everything, makes sense. Sprites are only slowing down (with M for Maybe) at very large sized humanoids like Giants and Ogres, that’s pretty hardcore/disturbing.

If it applies to DnD's cosmology, than it has to mean with viable offspring, because half-dwarves canonically exist in the Darksun setting and they're called Muls.

Half dwarves exist in the default rules, they're just indistinguishable from dwarves. Supposedly they're actually pretty common.

There's a small text at the bottom explaining the chart.

[–] Eagle0600@yiffit.net 1 points 1 year ago

Then the chart is just wrong (I know which book it's in and it is intended to apply to DnD).

I'm so glad this meme transcends platforms

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's not like we could leave reddit while leaving all the worst memes behind

Have you watched Shrek?

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Adult dragons can shapeshift, so the same way you'd fuck anyone else.

Cum all over its trea$ur

dryads reject lizardfolk and only lizardfolk

By this I'm assuming lizard-folk lay eggs.

[–] Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It never occurred me until now that half dwarves are not a thing

[–] Lemonspeed@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Muls from the Dark Sun setting are half dwarves. They’re sterile so I guess maybe they don’t count?

[–] swab148@startrek.website 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was gonna say something about ligers and tigons, but then I did some research (looked it up on Wikipedia) and I learned some stuff. It has no relevance to my life, but it did clear up my misconception that hybrids are always sterile! So, in addition to making $125 donating plasma, making a new friend at the bus stop, and almost immediately getting drunk, I learned that some hybrids can be viable!

Be sure to continue your research with an image search, because they are cute as fuck.

Dryads: I'll breed with anything

Dryads (earlier that day): I don't care for Lizardfolk
