The race animosities in TFT are traditional but are just a few quick words,
like stereotypes included as a seed, whereas in other systems (D&D,
Warhammer, Palladium, etc...) these tend to be described in great detail
and systematized (7th level Lawful Neutral Grey Elf Fighter/Monk bla bla
puke yawn snore...) - leaving little detail for players to fill in.

In general, ITL tends to teach players how to create their own worlds,
while D&D tend to encourage players to collect ($$ ka-ching $$) the stuff
the publishers came up with.
