I seriously do want to know how kobolds ended up as little dragon homies, though. Like, Kobold is literally just the German word for "goblin" so how did they end up where they are??

@vahnj Oh, yeah, I know it's from D&D and that they have never been particularly...faithful to original conceptions of things, it just feels like a big shift.

@vahnj Pathfinder goblins are p close to my Platonic ideal for goblins, tbh. They just need to be more cute and less evil...

@salameleon @vahnj I agree! One of the things I hate the most about D&D is how hard the source books try to box all the races, esp monster races, into alignment boxes.
