See, your remark borsers the offensive. IIRC the last figures I read, have Italians on average thinner than Americans. And I hate old ladies.

I thik this, too. Yet there are Italians that are pissed and tired to be equated to pizza spaghetti and mafia.

For what is worth, I'm not offended at all. Actually, I think it's a more imaginative way of using the Halflings than the abused rural English goodfellow. Regading mafia, I think it's one of the things we Italians should be ashamed of. Still, it's part of our history and culture. We can not...

I really don't think so. What you describe is not that far from any standard D&D setting. Ever read Mystara?

Interesting read. I generally like reading posts of non american players, like I am, reporting their experiences and comments on the game. I find them often informative because, let's admitted, all of us non americans ave been seen, portrayed and incorporated in the game through a North American...

We also have a place in our real world where all asian-derived stuffi is. It's called Asia.

If the book is OLD, then no. It's the past. You can and should not change or hide the past. If the book is to be written now,things are different. EDIT: heck, i'm even against banning something like the Mein Kampf. You can't learn if you destroy your errors.

That's the same way we use ninja in western pop products. Or dervishes. Or paladins. Frankly i don't understand why they should have reconsidered (and I honestly think he were not really thinking what he said anyway). They just took what they were interested in and made a story out of it...

I don't get it, since when are Japanese manga and anime "white culture"? And secondarily, you seem to put everything that's not Asian or Black into the same big bowl. That's not the case. things are not that simple. Go tell a random Japanese and tell him he's the same as a Chinese. Or try...

Is being condescent to people you don't know anything about admitted in this forum? Answering the question anyway: racism, just not to stray to far apart from the subject. Real racism, I mean. People hurt. People called names. People denied access to places and things. People deined access to...

The difference is that I NEVER complained about it in the '80s, and won't do it now. As I already said I had enough maturity in my teens not to get offended by inaccurate or comical portraits of my country and language, whether that was in Asterix comics, Japanese manga, American comics, Mel...

I quote myself. Try reading some manga made before the '80s.

Seriously, have you ever read a Japanese manga made before the 1980s? Have you the slightest idea on how far they stray from a correct representation of European and American culture and religion? If I myself, at 12 years old, could digest the fact that depictions of christianity, somatic...

This. Exactly. There's so much mish-mash in D&D, there's always been, that I really find the point of complaining an imprecise use or inspiration from a real life culture in the game (if it's not blatantly offensive, of course) bordering the absurd. What I also find a little upsetting is...

I learn today that "oriental" might be taken as an offensive term. And regarding stereotypes, seriously, I've been reading manga and watching anime for most decades and I can only cite a couple of works where Europe and the West in general, including my country and culture, has not been...

That's why I pointed out "research". Research is a scientific term. Science is science. Science has the same value regardless of who the scientist is. if the research is solid, the fact the researcher is white, black or whatever MUST not be important. Now, if you say that a term or behavior is...

The fact that "asian fans have researched quite a bit" is pointless. First, flat earth supporters do quite a bit of researching in support of their theories, but they get to wrong conclusion nevertheless. Second, research by an "asian fan" should be just as worthy as a research by anyone else.

I'm happy to read this. You, see this strenghtens my opinion that all people are equal, regardless of ethnic groups. In this case both (some) white and (some) asian people are equally seeking to do something stupid.

This is NONSENSE!!!

Hi all. I'm reading through the Starter Set pregen sheets. I really can't find anywhere what is the dwarf cleric's deity. The only thing that's clear is that gramts the Life domain (and no surprise in that: it's the only domain available in Basic). I don't know anything about FR. What's a...
