I like the Elf because they have pointy ears and have a haughty attitude. I like the Dwarf cause they have a beard and drink ale and curse a lot. I like the Halfling because I can be a Kender without letting everyone know that I am a Kender. Hehe!

Shocked the crap out of you though, right? Got your heart beating and got you all riled up, right? Got your ATTENTION, right? Then, when you calmed yourself and read the other part, you saw my point that the whole paragraph that that reference was a small part of was trying to say. Shock value...

You also completely missed my point I guess, which was about speaking up about the change you want to see rather than staying silent because your opinion might cause dissent. It has nothing to do with racism.

Sorry, but my fun time is used to run games I find fun. If I want to run a human only game and a player wants to play an Elf, the player gets the boot. I will not stop them from finding a GM that will run a game that has elves in it, in fact I would encourage them to find such a game!

A philosophy professor told me once, when trying to make a point, use the most extreme example you can think of for shock value! Sorry if it bothers you. EDIT: You also completely missed my point I guess, which was about speaking up about the change you want to see rather than staying silent...

This made me laugh, thank you!

So I'm wack now? 🤔🙄 Nope. The players are responsible for their own fun. My job is to run the game. If I run a game they find fun, yay! If I run a game they don't find fun, they should leave and find a game they do think is fun. My job is NOT to dance around simply for the amusement of the...

Okay, so essentially you are saying that because you like D&D the way it is, and I don't, that means that I am wrong. Sorry, but I will continue to attack what D&D has become in the hopes that it will become more of what I want because it's what I want. You not being happy about it doesn't...

If the fluff can be changed and the culture can be changed and the physical appearance can be changed, why not just change it all to human and be done with it? Never said free them from any and all stereotypes, just the ones that restrict then to stick with the fluff associated with a non-human...

Yes on all counts!

Run human only games. Run them! I play whatever the DM wants to run. If a DM wanted to run an all Dragon People game I would play a Dragon People!

😉 What would have happened, pray tell, if the player would have refused to change their concept? What would have happened if they insisted that they get to play their Undying Paladin? If by people agreeing with your position, then you get much praise as well!

I complain! I LIKE Kender!

Me too!

I don't run games for players that won't have fun along with my fun so there is no need for me to lose out on any fun so my players can have more fun!

Well, you are the only person I have ever conversed with that measures "fun" in percentage points! Every other human I have ever met measures it in a "fun" OR "not-fun" way. This is THE strangest conversation I have ever had!!!

Me too! My fun is more important because it's my fun! Why, am I supposed to be the DM of a game where I don't get to have fun? Would you play in a game where you weren't having any fun just so the DM could have fun?

They get to have me as the DM! 🤪 I don't feel the need to encourage or reward such play as that is not the point. The point is for me the DM to get enjoyment out of the experience of DMing, something I don't get if I'm running a game I don't want to run.

Cause we like going round and round the rabbit hole! Also, if you ever write a Dragon People novel, publish it under your user name so I will recognize that it's yours and read it!

I can replicate everything you see in this scene using Mythras. So yes!
