Halflings have been part of Dungeons & Dragons since the very beginning, but despite being inspired by one of fantasy's most iconic heroes, they rarely get the spotlight. So what happened? In this video, we dive into the complete history of halflings in D&D, explore their lore, their different cultures, and their unique abilities, before asking one big question: why don't more people play them? Or use them in dnd in general, like where are the Halfling villains at? Then I'll share how I think halflings could become one of the most interesting species in the game by leaning into the one thing that truly makes them unique—their legendary luck. If you wanna hop around this video here are some time stamps! Part 1 is all on Halfling lore. Part 2 is what makes them unique. Part 3 is why they’re not so popular but also how we can make them better!
