Re: Josh's exposition on the removal of racemixing from D&D which he facetiously asserted was for eugenics reasons: one of the coolest minor bits of Pathfinder lore is that out in the middle of the planet's equivalent of the North Sea there is an island owned by a dragon who is running a eugenics commune. I'm serious, that is explicitly the purpose of the island, that this dragon wants to breed a master race of humans. In First Edition lore, this was made all the cooler by the fact that they never attempted to explain why the dragon was doing this. He's just doing benevolent eugenics for mysterious purposes. Of course, in Second Edition they gave him a motivation, which, while it otherwise would have been cool, detracted from the air of mystery. He found an Elf Stargate (yes, those are a thing, in Pathfinder elves are ayylmaos who came to the planet via magic Stargates) with an incarnation of the evil god of dragons trapped inside. He worked out that the only way to banish the incarnation for good was a mass sacrifice of a bunch of "perfect souls". The island is his attempt to breed "perfect souls" so he can sacrifice them to save the world from the evil dragon god.
