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: Christopher Brady;871072RACIST!  What, you think Dwarves, Elves and Halflings smell any better? (OK, Elves probably smell like flowers, I'll give ya that one) they often join the Humans with their lootin' 'n' pillagin' 'n' shit!

Yeah but demihumans often get back to hugging trees, digging for valuables, and being domestics. They tend to stay in their place. Adventuring is just something to do on those off-years to stave off the boredom.

Those humans get bored easily and live so short they can't help start pokin' around in every place. All over and under the land, chopping down trees to stabilize their slipshod mines to get second-rate valuables to wage slave domestics into serving ale and pipe-weed. And they breed like fleas, too! Big, burly fleas, who like to leave insitutions and laws all over the place. If you wrong one you'll have their mongrel great grandchildren bring an army to avenge just once you have began to cool down from the argument.

Assholes!

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

See? Arrogant. Think they are implicitly above the fray in that question and any analysis otherwise is seen as traitorous breaking of ranks. Assholes the lot of them.

(Trying to ignore their multi-page spread in the 2e MM and everything... Tsk, shameful.)

no one important

MODRONS.

Lawful neutral, the ass-hattiest of the alignments?  Check.

Always refer to themselves with the royal "We?"  Check.

Trying way too hard to let you know they were "all into radial symmetry before it was cool?"  Check.

Tell me you don't honestly want to just haul off and punch that square in that smug grin.

Just Modrons.
Not as dumb as I look, sound, or best testing indicates.  Awful close, though.

Ogre Magi, neither a ogre nor a magi.  What are they?

Harpies.  Before harpies, people could sing and frolic in their joviality.  After harpies, no singing ever, no longer a part of culture.  Harpies made DnD land a dull place to live.

Quote from: Simlasa;870881That'd make a fun reveal... when the party finally makes their way to the dragon's lair, only to find it long dead. Captive orc says, "Yeah, we killed that fucker years ago... really prissy shit trying to boss us around all the time. Killed it and then used some of its treasure to install this really nice permanent dragon illusion, to keep out the riff raff."

lol i need to do this some time and then the ork asks if they want a drink
