Editing Drow (section)

===In other campaign settings===
* In the ''[[Mystara]]'' / "Known World" setting, shadow elves are a race of subterranean elves who have been mutated via magic. Aside from living underground, they have nothing in common with Drow and are not known as Dark elves.
* In [[Mongoose Publishing]]'s ''Drow War'' trilogy, the drow are recast as lawful evil villains and likened to the [[Nazis]]. The author of the series has stated that this was a deliberate reaction to the prevalence of renegade, non-evil drow characters.
* Drow appear as a playable race in ''[[Urban Arcana]]'', which is a [[d20 Modern]] setting based on ''Dungeons & Dragons''. They are shown as very fashionable, often setting new trends. The symbol for most drow is a spider, and they often take the mage or acolyte classes.
* A supplement book about the drow was produced by [[Green Ronin Publishing]] called ''Plot & Poison: A Guidebook to the Drow'' in 2002 and is based on the [[d20 System]]. It introduces several drow subtypes including aquatic drow and vupdrax (or winged drow) plus fleshes out drow life, such as how they treat [[slave]]s of the various fantasy types like [[Elf|elves]] and [[human]]s. [[Wizards of the Coast]], seeing the heavy sales of the GRP supplement, released their own supplement book called ''[[Drow of the Underdark]]'' in May 2007.
* Drow in the ''[[Pathfinder (periodicals)|Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting]]'' used to be elves but stayed on [[Golarion]] when the other elves left the world. Over time, the remaining elves turned into drow by powerful magic, and at this time any elf who is evil enough can spontaneously turn into a drow. The existence of drow in Golarion is virtually unknown to non-elves. Drow are also the main antagonists in the ''[[Pathfinder (periodicals)#Adventure Paths|Second Darkness Adventure Path]]'' and the ''Rise of the Drow Trilogy''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Collins |first=Ashe |date=April 8, 2013 |title=Tabletop Review: Rise of the Drow Trilogy Bundle (Pathfinder) |url=https://diehardgamefan.com/2013/04/08/tabletop-review-rise-of-the-drow-trilogy-bundle-pathfinderdd-3-5/ |access-date=May 30, 2023 |website=[[Diehard GameFAN]] |language=en-US |archive-date=September 28, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210928015757/https://diehardgamefan.com/2013/04/08/tabletop-review-rise-of-the-drow-trilogy-bundle-pathfinderdd-3-5/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2023, [[Paizo]] announced that drow would be [[retconned]] out of Golarion's lore and replaced by serpentfolk as the publisher transitions away from Wizard of the Coast's [[Open Game License]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 29, 2023 |title=Pathfinder Retcons Drow Out of Game Lore Due to Move Away From OGL |url=https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/pathfinder-remaster-drow-ogl-retcon/ |access-date=May 30, 2023 |website=[[ComicBook.com]] |language=en |archive-date=May 29, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230529154638/https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/pathfinder-remaster-drow-ogl-retcon/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Carter |first=Chase |date=June 1, 2023 |title=Pathfinder ejects Drow from official lore, says too "deeply enmeshed" in D&D identity |url=https://www.dicebreaker.com/categories/roleplaying-game/news/pathfinder-2e-no-more-drow-remaster-project |access-date=June 1, 2023 |website=[[Dicebreaker]] |language=en}}</ref>
