Hello
I'm not sure if it's too late to suggest this level of change, but I would like to suggest that all new books use gender-neutral language throughout.
For example, page 14 of the playtest section 3 "Choose a Background" currently says, "Your character's background might represent a special aptitude she's been honing since her youth, detail her upbringing, and illuminate some other aspect of her life before she became an adventurer."
This sentence and many others in the text are heavily gendered. A gender-neutral version of this would be:
"Your character's background might represent a special aptitude they've been honing since their youth, detail their upbringing, and illuminate some other aspect of their life before they became an adventurer."
Gender should not matter, so don't use gendered pro-nouns, unless you are talking about a specific character who has chosen a particular gender, then using their pronoun of choice is appropriate.
