A Pathfinder Miniature in Extremely Poor Taste

Quote from: S'mon;831006Yeah, aborted fetus monsters are not officially un-PC, and D&D has had the Atropal (deific abortion monster) for a long time.

I don't think calling it racist will cut the mustard, but I guess if you could somehow convince Paizo that aborted fetus monster minis were offensive to the transgender community, they might recall it.
well the atropal is stillborn gods in general unless there is a source im missing its never stated if abortions count (i dont count them but it still works fine if you do). One thing you definintly dont want to do is restrict it to abortions only because then you are halving potentiol atropals by restricting it to the offspring of evil deites.

Unless somebody forcibly aborts a good or neutral deity. That could be an interesting epic level quest an evil god wants to capture and abort a good goddes players could have great fun being on either side

Quote from: crazyfunster;831055Neither am I an expert on folk mythology from the Philippines, despite being Filipino. Theres no single xomprehensive and unified description for these creatures, outside of a general thirst for blood and human flesh.

Part of that reason is how scattered human civilization was in the islands, before Spain.

They do have some general unifying traits: like the aforementioned manananggal.

Its a bog-standard befanged and clawed ghoul posing as a normal human; except with the added twist of being able to detach its upper half to hunt from the air.
hey pundit you have a piece of paper saying you know about this stuff whats indias take on fetus monsters

Quote from: AnthonyRoberson;830953Poor taste indeed.

Yeah preach on brother....

Feathers on DEINONYCHUS? The paleontology is not settled and I, for one, would like to think that dinosaurs could at least stay cool without science screwing them up like they did Pluto.

As someone who loves monsters, gore, horror, and old-timey carny culture, and as someone who never let "Good taste" contaminate my fun, this is a fucking awesome idea for a miniature.

EDIT: WHOA! That "Mad Prophet" figure from the same set looks like an Erol Otus drawing brought to 3-D! So cool!

Oh for pity's sake.

RPGs are choked with racism, and with plenty of parallels, real or imagined, to whatever oppressed minorities fit your pet rant.  They're full of torture, blasphemy, rape, robbery and just about anything else anti-social.  Your average gamer not only routinely portrays serial killers with body counts that would impress Genghis Khan, but does so with a calloused elan worthy of Renaissance condottieri.  What's remotely tasteful about "kill them and take their stuff?"

With all of this, my reaction is somewhere between "You're only now discovering that RPGs are often in poor taste?" and eyerolling.
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

yeah your right i decided against it in the end especially because the thread i was going to use did have a few decent things been said amongst the noise and i did not want to detract from that.
