This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

A very clever haiku.
He deserves some praise.

Thanks Cerulean!
You know, I wish 'lion' had
one less syllable.

Quote from: Age of FableIn Forgotten Realms
they have pictures of these guys
whose name I forgot.

White-skinned Indians?
(Cerulean: baffled shrug.)
I do not know them.

The Forgotten Realms?
More than a few odd things there.
Just look at the Drow.

Evil Elves they are.
Black their skin: Evil their hearts.
Each and every one.

Now is this racist?
Not at all says T. S. R.
No racist intent.

Black-skinned evil folk.
Even if not intended,
Racist in effect.

And they are ruled

Get away with it?

Did Gary do it?
Was it Gary Gygax who
Invented the Drow?

When they first appeared
Was Gary the editor?
Fiend Folio, yes?

Perhaps someone else
Was responsible for this -
"Less than wise" concept.

Well, he's been quoted
From a thread over on EN
World; he seems quite clear.

"As I created
them, there are no good drow
save the insane" - Gary

I don't think any
Other person gets the blame
This one's all on him.

This I am sorry
To hear. Badly mistaken
Idea at best.

The racist image
Even if inadvertent
Is painful to see.

Patience, young Walker
You are not a Jedi yet
Use the Force, Bradford
The past lives on in your front room
The poor still weak the rich still rule
History lives in the books at home
The books at home

This is probably
A terrible position
To ask for things from.

"I'll never give you
A thin dime of my money;
Now where's my free shit?"

They are a business
And owe all the freeloaders
Not a fucking thing.

(Not that I don't think
I'll end up running 4e
From the SRD

At least for the first
Adventure; this seems like a
different game, no?)

just an ape's picture.

Use the S R D
Even if you don't buy it.
That's what it's there for.

But I do agree
If you do not plan to buy,
Don't demand freebies.

Take if they give them -
Just do not act entitled.
Smile and say "Thank you".

you say things that you don't mean
as part of a joke?

I know of that thing.
Sometimes I even notice
When people do it. :)

If I want to play
Elf chick with giant boobies
Blizzard gets my cash

Stunts, feats, or powerz
MMO contrivances
Cover heart of game

10 foot by 10 foot
Rooms full of pissed off ogres
Make me sigh with joy
