DnD Species: Humans!
Season 1 Episode 3
In this episode of Roll for Lore, we explore the story of humans—both in our real-world myths and history, and in the ever-evolving world of Dungeons & Dragons. From their roots as the “default” race of early editions to their rise as one of the most diverse, ambitious, and influential peoples in the game, humans have always stood out for their adaptability and drive. We’ll look at the different human cultures and ethnicities across the Forgotten Realms, exploring how each reflects the rich variety of the Realms. Along the way, we trace how humans have been portrayed through folklore, mythology, and storytelling—from flawed heroes to empire builders—and how their restless ambition has shaped both history and fantasy alike. Whether you see them as conquerors, innovators, or survivors, this episode reveals why humans remain the heart of D&D.
