“Aren’t there many unhappy couples, if cross species reproduction isn’t very common?”

This question was posed tonight in my #ttrpg session. While I’m open to the concept in my homebrew, looking at for example base #dnd where we got Half-Orcs, Half-Elves and Half…-lings(?), I found the question very interesting and wanted to ask the wider community.

How do you fine folk handle to topic?

    Just asking for clarification. Is the issue that cross-species relations seldom produce offspring? So there’s a lot of couples out there that can’t have children and are therefore sad?

        I’d say “yeah, there probably are” and then you get to come up with whatever the result of that is.

        Maybe it’s a cultural norm to adopt an orphan in those scenarios 🤷
