This question was posed tonight in my #ttrpg session. While I'm open to the concept in my homebrew, looking at for example base #dnd where we got Half-Orcs, Half-Elves and Half...-lings(?), I found the question very interesting and wanted to ask the wider community.
How do you fine folk handle to topic?

In D&D I assume that most species just don't cross. The half-somethings are the weird exceptions, which is why we have stats for those.
This is entirely a practical decision, though. If I were running a fantasy game in a more flexible system I'd entertain all kinds of interesting character origins. I'm just not willing to try and fit the square peg of D&D into the round hole of stuff that game does poorly.
