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.

Quote from: Snowman0147;766700Same here I love the warforge.

It's as close as I can get to playing Bender in D&D.  :D

+1 (I don't care about Dragonborn but the gnashing of teeth amuses me). Also since my Drow are FINALLY legal I guess reptiles with boobs are fine.:)

D&D. Some things I'll use, some I won't. They should've put Kender and Draconians, erm I mean Dragonborn in the same book....
I play these games to be entertained... I don't want to see games about rape, sodomy and drug addiction... I can get all that at home.

Damn, nine races in the PH, two in the DMG? Not even counting subraces as different races?

That's quite a few.
Mechanics should reflect flavor. Always.
Running: Chrono Break: Dragon Heist + Curse of the Crimson Throne (D&D 5e).
Planning: Rappan Athuk (D&D 5e).

Probably more than two. I wouldn't be surprised if lots of race strongly associated with a particular setting other than Dragonborn and Tieflings are in the DMG. And also possibly monstrous races.

As per female dwarves with or without beards, the gender identity and presentation of dragonborn PCs will be entirely down to the player in question, as it always should have been.
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

Dragonborn with breasts isn't a gender issue, it's a biological one. They are warm-blooded and nurse their young, therefore they have mammary glands.  Now size, shape, nipple rings, that's up to the player.

On the other hand, my Moon Elf dude should totally have a Marsupial Pouch.  :rolleyes:

I remain hopeful that 5e will not put races in splatbooks.

11+races and subraces in the core books semes great to me.

If you're going to start a thread about races, at least be nice enought to list them. I have no idea what the full list looks like.

I didn't realize that people couldn't see the screen shot unless they had an account at EN world, so on the second page I posted this:

Quote from: Sacrosanct;766713OH, I didn't know that.  Well then:

All the basic ones: human, elf, dwarf, halfling, gnome, half elf, half orc

also: dragonborn, tielfling,
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

They consider what's in BASIC as common and what's in the PHB beyond the that as uncommon with whatever is in the DMG as rare.

...

The glands could be largely subdermal and young dragonborn lap the excretions rather than suck.  I recall at least a couple species have more or less milk spots like that instead of more traditional equipment.  Not that it's a big deal to me either way, just adding to the ideas.
