Looks like you didn't quite get the point there. The point being that everything in your fantasy sandbox makes exactly as much sense as you want to. If you want to create a believable immersive world that's not gonna work well for the goal you set for yourself. If you want more of an arcade...

Man Pixies are so damn OP in Shadowrun 5E though. Really don't wanna have to give them love. Guess I'm racist then?

Simple sanity check: Ask yourself the question if you think plate clad pink haired gnome girls slugging it out with a Dragon are necessary to exist to represent diversity or are kinda jarring and don't make sense in universe. You kinda think that's gonna hurt your immersion? Well, tough luck...

Yeah but one there is a reason the 3ft race has a +2 to Intelligence and the 7 ft race has a +2 to Strength and +1 Constitution. And it's not racially motivated or accurate representation, the max is the same for both, so they already have the same potential. The Goliath is bigger so gets a...

Thanks for editing my post and replacing it with a racist blanket statement? Literally. There isn't a single word or hint of the original spirit left for the post you "quoted". Would it be quite alright with you not to replace quotes from me with homophobic content?

If you had led with that rather than a fairly aggressive blanket statement like this one It might have helped sell your point. Just sayin' presentation is part of selling whatever and whenever you're out to convice the world you're the new hot stuff that deserves attention for a valid...

Aaaand next up on Infowars.... Btw fully comitted to buy a vacation home in Norway or Finnland at some point. You know, block hut with a single massive window in the roof in the middle of nowhere, moose and reindeer in the 3ft high snow that qualifies as garden and of course a 10GBit symetric...

You think? Working for a publicly traded company with an US office, several in Europe, Australia and Asia, I'm glad I'm the European branch. 30 days paid vacation, sick leave no questions asked, paid overtime, 40 hour weeks max (well technically), healthcare required by law, functional...

I'm not really sure if you can be called the victim here. Lack of access to education and prospects is a soul crushing downwards spiral. You get to reap a bit of the fallout, but generally speaking sneering at "hillbillies" is the same "we against them" thinking that fuels racism. It doesn't...

That is hillarious and I love the idea. Should probably offer the PCs a path where they raise money for public education to prevent a tragedy like the plague breaking out or something. Shouldn't suspect malice where you can explain things with lack of an education. Sometimes I wonder what would...

Did you really just assume my privilege? On a DnD forum? Mate I'm German, so you guessed correctly. I'm a 30 year old white cis male. You haven't the slightest idea how many nazi jokes I get to hear from my friends, got an Indonesian buddy who throws them out like candy. The German black guys I...

If my stake wasn't clear - please no racism projection into my RPG game. Violates my feeling of immersion, which is what I kinda like about games to begin with. My games don't involve roleplaying walking for weeks through rain and mud, neither am I in risk of physical harm because an Orc...

Those are indeed nice words. But who decides which massive issue around the worlds I should have stakes in? African warlords, China vs HK, US Prison System, Russia vs Krim, that's for the most part not on the same continent as I am. I do agree all of them are pretty terrible, but so are...

Well that might be a good example for history gets written by winners and we end up with their perspective. You're doing plenty of murdering and pillaging in the Orc campaign in Warcraft 3, with your arrival in Kalimdor you immediatly start exterminating the sapient natives like quillboars and...

We're kinda forgetting that humans generally find ways to mistrust strangers. We vs them is a common theme across all cultures and all scales. "We in IT are clearly smarter than the Layer 8 problems waiting to happen in Sales" "We're so much better than than the noisy neighbors we never...

Yep, hence the Warlock out of juice example.

Pretty much everything in terms of playable stuff being able to procreate with each other makes finding "correct" terminology all the more confusing. For the most part it's not how biology should work, then again there is magic so we can explain any discrepancy through that. Species tends to be...

Hm how about splitting HP flat in the middle for this? 50% Vitals (Meat), damage here causes some sort of injury and reducing it to 0 downs you, 50% Armor/Durabilty/Resilience/Fatigue HP that can take a beating without negative effects (basically "normal" HP). Leads to the occasional oneshot or...

Duh, I knew I was missing an obvious level 1 Spell, thanks. Still costs Long Rest resources, 2x Misty Step to get up a ledge and back might be pretty high utility cost depending on how ubiquitous Long Rests are. I'd assume Short Rests are tied to specific events, like combat encounters, so a...

Would you mind rereading the rest of the post please? I was presenting my point about the mechanical representation the least physical impressive small race against the the medium race described as most physically impressive. Then got some interesting comment on how representing twice the height...
