At first I read this as “these species can fuck each other”. Then I realized that this is only concerning conception, all these species could fuck each other as they please.
If it applies to DnD’s cosmology, than it has to mean with viable offspring, because half-dwarves canonically exist in the Darksun setting and they’re called Muls.
Ah, good old Book of Erotic Fantasy. It’s so gloriously stupid that everyone should own a copy. That table is by far not the silliest part of the book.
It’s only bested by the official sex rulebook for The Dark Eye, which is an April Fools joke that spiraled out of control and has actual rules for intercourse – deliberately bureaucratic and unsexy ones included purely as a “you asked for it” joke at the reader’s expense.
So basically your mitochondria decides your species?
Personally I like keeping it a little more complicated. It’s the same race as the mother, unless the mother is a ditto, in which case it’s the same race as the father.
I hate that this exists

By this I’m assuming lizard-folk lay eggs.
Honestly, Elder Scrolls has it right: the offspring of two different races will always be the race of the mother, but with some traits of the father.
None of that funny crossbreeding stuff, just keep it simple.
