Topic: [REJECTED] Tag implication: dragonborn -> dungeons_and_dragons

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The tag implication #42360 dragonborn_(disambiguation) -> dungeons_and_dragons has been rejected.

Reason: dragonborn says "A race of draconic humanoids originating from the pen and paper role-playing game, Dungeons and Dragons." this one's a no-brainer

EDIT: The tag implication dragonborn -> dungeons_and_dragons (forum #320396) has been rejected by @bitWolfy.

Yes, but… it looks like a lot of the posts under that tag aren’t actually DnD dragonborns. Looks like it needs to be cleaned up a lot before getting an implication. Maybe even change it to a dragonborn_(dnd) tag to help keep other things out of there.

Doesn't Elder Scrolls also have dragonborn? I'd go with the suffix, myself.

That’s dovahkiin. But, yeah, adding a suffix to this one would be a good idea.

Thank you. I don't play it, so I'm (oddly enough) going off what I learned from the COPS parodies.

The D&D Dragonborn are also extremely nebulously-defined, to be fair. Those I'm familiar with are weird Bahamut cultists with an unbirthing fetish that are literally reborn as "lesser" dragons.

the name dragonborn is more commonly associated with Skyrim than DnD

By what metric?
"Dragonborn" were in 4e's first rulebook in early 2008, compared to Skyrim releasing in 2011 and then constantly flip-flopping between both "Dragonborn" and "Dovahkiin". An even earlier race by the same name appeared in D&D 3e's "Races of the Dragon" (2006).
The majority of all players on Roll20 (58% of at least 8 million users) have participated in D&D 5e games, with another 0.28% of the userbase playing 4e specifically, and just over 5% more playing some iteration of 3e (3.5e and Pathfinder 1e the primary two.)
Searching dragonborn -("elder scrolls"|elder|scrolls|skyrim) on FA returns 10067 results, where as excluding D&D-related terms and searching dragonborn -(d&d|dnd|"dungeons and dragons"|"dungeons & dragons") only returns 6498 results.
Even here, dragonborn has several more results than dovahkiin.

Nevertheless, disambiguate.

Considering the character is probably a human, the fact that there is going to be less content of on a furry site isn't surprising. What they probably were talking about, is that there is more likely more people who have heard of the main character from a videogame that's been ported, to everything and re-released a bejillion times in a digital environment, then a race from an old table top game which mostly gets memed on to teeze people for being nerds

About 20 million people have played DnD, compared to 30 million Skyrim players.
