Why are there only half "human" mix and no other?
It seems super weird and arbitrary that all these "half" something is a human and another specie, now i understand human being wrote the story and human being are horny. but where are the Half Orc+Goblin breed? where are the Half Dwarf+Elf breed?
Or Half Hobbits+orc??

are the Human just a universal Plug in that any other specie can jst unload their seeds upon or give and make a "half"?

We really need some Half Orc and Dwarf mix or Goblin Elf mix.

Also why only Half? why not 1/3 something? like a character is 1/3 elf 1/3 dwarf and 1/3 Orc, it just seem like everyone is genetically super compatible since human being can bang witih any other species and make kids, why not same logic applies to any other?

humans like different races because then they have different types of feet to worship. No other race does this.

Other races don't roll Bard as often as Humans.

There are others, but yeah. Don't show up all that much. Genetics gets a bit more complicated with DND. It varies between setting and the people running/playing it.

Vaguely recall as a general rule, that when it came to half-races, any child would be of the other parents type. E.g. HE + Human = Human, HE + Elf = Elf, HE + Dwarf = Dwarf.

Human racial power is penis.

Why? Because there's only so much time and money to get something done so all those variations are too much to bother with.

The general rule is that humans are unique in that they will have sex with anything.

And vagina! Don't be ignoring the human mothers in the half-X formulae!

And definitely the kinkiest.
Well, maybe elf druids have them beat in that regard.

according to lore not true , orcs can create children with almost anyother race in the material plane except elves cause there god says its a no go

This is something to take to Wizards of the Coast but ultimately as someone said it gets to be a bit much in time and money. Though it definitely started that way because humans wrote the game. I mean the classification for Humans, Elves, Dwarves ,Dragonborn, is "humanoids". So yeah faults of the game that stem from humans not fully getting outside of themselves for their creations.

Ultimately though for the TTRPG there is a bit in the DMG and the PHB about Dungeon Masters being able to make house rules and homebrew content. For instance I allow cross races that do not involve humans in my D&D games I run.
