DnD Species: Tieflings

In this episode of Roll for Lore, we dive into Tieflings—Jess’s favorite playable species and one of Dungeons & Dragons’ most iconic and misunderstood peoples. Born with infernal bloodlines and marked by horns, tails, and glowing eyes, Tieflings carry the legacy of devils whether they want it or not. We explore their real-world mythological inspirations, their evolution across D&D editions, and how Tieflings became symbols of identity, prejudice, and self-determination in the game’s lore. From their infernal ancestors and planar bargains to the many ways Tieflings choose who they become, this episode is all about why being touched by hell doesn’t mean you’re destined for it.
