Moral alignment is a fierce discourse in the tabletop RPG space. It's been soul-crushing to witness the TRPG community war over the handling of morality, with real-life biases still permeating what many view as their safe space in an all too prejudiced world.
It's a conversation that can get pretty heated, especially with big players like Wizards of the Coast sitting at the top of our best tabletop RPG list and desperately trying to please everyone with the latest changes to the Dungeons & Dragons 5e system (we'll get to that in a moment). It's had me lamenting not just the way certain species are associated with good or evil, but how good and evil are often so cut-and-dry in tabletop systems. So many still overlook the nuances of that glorious grey area that encourages players to see new perspectives, and empathize with those lashing out.
