Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

[S'mon]

Mulling it over - I think both dragon-blooded and demon-blooded are potentially cool archetypes, when done right - qv the Wilderlands' Orichalan Dragon Lords, or even 1e Cambions like Iuz. But alligator-looking wingless, tailless critters with ladybumps don't cut it, and way-too-horny look-at-my-tail critters ain't much better.

I think, hmm, WoTC just doesn't get cool. They're like your dad trying to be trendy.

I might have liked dragonborn better if the artwork was better. The PHB has so many pictures of dragonborn i got sick of seeing them. I guess they were just trying to push the "newness". Tieflings are okay, but i'm not thrilled with them. I'm just glad that my gaming group stuck with the old standbys for now: human, elf, half-elf and dwarf. If i do introduce dragonborn and tieflings, they will be races rarely seen.

Maybe they do get cool: you just don't get their cool.

Cool isn't a one or the other thing.

Dragonborn and Tieflings are way cooler than necroing this thread.

Indeed.

Although I feel compelled to point out that both races features very extensively in our game.

It wasn't his fault. A Spam post put this thread back up to the front page - I am not even sure he (re)read the thread to that point.
I reported the spam and it was deleted already.

Funny, there's also a second spammer posting here. There must be something to Dragonborn and Tieflings that just screams "good marketing"

I also don't know if it was worth some viagra pusher bringing back the thread.

But its a good line.

They're trying to be cool and trendy when their core audience couldn't be cool even with a +10 bag of social conformity?

I should feel bad for that joke.

Maybe it is. Maybe you just don't get the Platonic Idealism of Cool.
