I know white authors have a habit of describing dark skin tones with food or beverages and I don’t want to do that.
Cocoa, caramel, coffee, etc. I’m not much of a fiction writer but I am running a dnd campaign with POC and don’t want to be a stereotype lol
Edit: various soil types is a promising contender added by my partner


Follow the advice in this thread but then describe the white characters like this
Comrade of mine in the campaign would catch this bit immediately (but also find it very funny)
If its dnd cant you just make references to places within your world?
Lmfao
Hell yeah
