"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?

@Ashyr As far as I understood it, it was mainly about those couples that would like to have children but cannot due to cross species issues - if such limits so exist.

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 🤷
