Honestly, I would think Elves would take over eventually as they live far longer and could work against the other races for generations. I think that's why Elves always seem to "be in decline" or have really low birth rates or whatever. Simply put the longer lived a race is the more likely they...

So...LotR is Tolkien's version of the Bible?!?!?

Okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤯

Yay! A single DM you asked runs kitchen sink games! This means what exactly? That a single DM you asked runs kitchen sink games?!?!? Oh no wait, this is definitive proof that all DMs should run kitchen sink games! Well, I'm convinced. Not. Definitely not. Removing a playable race is not an...

I vote... Kill everyone and free the slaves!

Maybe, maybe not. I know it means I spend alot more time talking to people about real things instead of make believe stuff. And I spend alot more time playing with my ten year old niece and my parrot instead of staring at a TV screen or with my nose buried in a fiction book. Now that I am older...

Something something, orcs are racist stereotypes of marginalized human cultures, something something, not interested in getting banned or having the thread shut down by discussing it, something something... I don't take anything that doesn't exist seriously! I disagree that the narrative...

Apologies, I got the context of that discussion wrong. I do try new things, just more on along the lines of foods, and way less along the lines of what I do as a DM and sexy fun time stuff, with those I already know what I like and don't like. New TV shows or books are a big maybe as most IPs...

Yes! If I'm reducing a players fun they are free to find a different DM that won't reduce their fun. Life sucks! Get over yourself! Exactly! Sorry, but there are so many avenues for gaming that if a player can't find a way to play they aren't trying very hard. Not Max. But...exactly! That's...

I already tried it and know I don't like it! You telling me I need to try it again every time I meet someone who likes Green Eggs and Ham is simply ridiculous! Instead I'm just going to tell them I don't like it and if they try arguing the point I'll tell them to get bent! I have no idea what...

Except for a millennium or two or three...no wait...four maybe.

Oh, I'm pretty sure I will always say that non-humans are funny mask humans, and no, I'm not interested in debating it with yet another person. Yes, how we like or dislike, well, everything, is a matter of personal preference. At times, possibly, though with the proliferation of fantasy in the...

Indeed. Yep they do. As I said before, my favorite toolkit is contrasting "mundane human world" with "fantastical magical world" and non-human PCs obviously destroy that contrast. My "fantastical magical world" is still fantastical and magical though, and I find it quite a bit easier to...

All things I have absolutely no interest in exploring in a game. I'm much more interested in exploring things like interpersonal relationships and morality and other ephemeral concepts. I moved beyond door size a long time ago. Having all those "what if it's not human" questions just get in they...

I disagree! I'm more than happy to tell players who won't get on board with the premise of the game I want to run to take a hike. I have no interest in using my fun time to cater only to someone else's fun. My fun time is for me to have fun!

I have found, in my own personal experience, that most non-human PCs get played in a much more stereotypical way than human PCs, something I don't like. As you said, you can do anything with humans, something you can't do with other races, so I see no reason to use them. I have also found that...

Ten sessions. Nine is far too short, and eleven is far too long.

Hahaha! So I have a writing problem because I don't like using races other than humans! That's hilarious! I see no advantage to using races other than humans. The fact that other races look different is meaningless. The fluff that is attached to non-human races can easily be manipulated so it...
