[QUOTE="HawaiiSteveO, post: 7272344, member: 6801401"] I know it's the internet (insert your favorite joke here) but when did people get so sensitive (in general, not on these boards)? I totally agree with much that's been said about how boring the game would be if all the NPC's were like me! Sadly, more often than not they are, but I'm tryin..! The player reaction has been overblown, it's not like we were rolling around on the floor, hitting each other with folding chairs and so on. I was merely surprised at the remark after I presented what I thought was a careful (albeit loosely inspired) interpretation of a generic 'native' type druid NPC. Our group is generally really fun, and I'm certain no one thought much of it afterwards, excluding me. I thought it was a cool idea to base races in game on real life folks who don't usually show up much in my normally very WASPY games :( As long as I'm not intentionally rude or insulting people should just have fun and roll with it. If I do something on purpose that I know is going to irritate another person I'm just being a jerk! Taking all that into consideration, when / where / how did dwarves become Scots? Gahhhh!! :mad: [/QUOTE]
