I mean, you could just... say that people don't attack them and they are a normal part of the world? There are enough things in D&D that are "kill on sight" that are non-humanoid that you could use as The Everpresent Threat Upon All That Is Good, (any abberration is a good start) aside from...

Hey I made a thread about that a while ago. Was kinda small, but got some good discussion in there. As for Orcs and Drow and stuff, I kinda see it like people who were born and raised in a cult/brutal dictatorship/something similar. With Gruumsh and his family or the Dark Seldarine being like...

I've always loved the 1e Manual of the Planes cover, gives a really good "Oh good god what have we gotten ourselves into" vibe that I really like, plus it just looks cool as all get out.

While I agree with a lot of what you have to say, I disagree here. Because having Dwarves/Elves/Halflings/Gnomes be the same as Humans would be, well, pretty boring. And just because something is informed by something bad (in this case, being informed that human races are completely different...

You probably already got something to this effect, but 28 pages of thread. Pretty much all of the undead you can summon in 5e is some variant of Evil. Even if you are zealous in keeping up your control on them, you are still bring in the cosmic force of Evil where it did not exist before. I'd...

Because you can never, ever cross your patron, even accidentally, right?

Still just sounds like wanting to avoid the consequences to your actions.

Or I could just homebrew in consequences to people's actions. Seem like that would be a lot easier.

You'll excuse me if I think this is just someone wanting to avoid the consequences of going into a warlock pact, right?

But other people might be having fun wrong the wrong way!

And other people, who outnumber me like 6,000,000,000 to one.

Where's Ryu from Street Fighter.

Well that's even worse. A person is smart, people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals.

Please explain

I'm just saying that trying to fix the world's problems is like trying to break down a brick wall with your face. Sure, you might do something, but you're going to have done serious damage to yourself in the process, success or failure.

I welcome you to try. I don't have hopes that you'll do anything, (mainly because you need other people, and the more heads that are on something, the stupider it gets) but if you do? Good, for now, now go fix this and that and the other thing. Oh wait, the first thing got screwed up and doesn't...

It's still destined to fail any day now because it isn't catering to what I want. aaaaaaaaaaanyday now...

Again, "You shouldn't be upset about things because look how good you have it is some serious, serious bullcrap that is seriously harmful. Going back to the example of telling a depressed person how good they have it so they shouldn't be depressed. (if I seem like I'm harping on that, it's...

Or maybe Miramels is pulling some blackbelt level lawyer-fu that most people would just ignore because it doesn't ultimately matter.

A lot of people do take it as a reason to not attempt to make the world better. And for some people, "making the world a better place" essentially "killing everyone who isn't me". Maybe we'll just have to agree to disagree, because I know for a fact that I am a massive cynic, and not a lot is...
