Note: Humans SHOULD be the only species made to be player characters. Simply because we are humans and we will act like humans, even if we are acting as another species.

World-building is about building from within, becoming the characters, species, and cultures that make up this world. However, exploration is about venturing outside, as humans face culture shock from a previously unseen or ununderstood concept.

When a player is a foreign concept, exploration falls apart.

If a player is to build their character’s species culture… They’ll be essentially WRITING their own game. Might as well have them GM.
