Trying to work on my cloth and leather painting. This is a Reaper metal Invisible Man.

I'm running Age of Worms, and I've had to make some changes to some of the adventures. The PCs in my campaign live in Greyhawk. They're either natives or have otherwise lived there for many years with one of them being part of a noble family. One of the adventures makes the assumptions the...

Today I learned there was more than one Cabin Fever movie. My faith in humanity thus shattered, I cease screaming into the abyss and simply crawl in.

You're completely correct that this was a horrible movie, but this particular gag was pretty good. It belonged in a better movie.

I think 2nd breakfast more than compensates the halfling for any penalties they might receive.

Been a while since I’ve painted anything. I jumped in with the manliest of beasts!

I imagine at some point we'll just be able to have conversations in heavily coded language. User 1: Premise #32 regarding player species. User 324: Question #42. User 444: Rebuttal #21. User 841: Offensive statement #3. Moderator 3: Banning statement #98 followed by plea to keep things...

Being raised to be a manliest of manly men, I was always taught to repress my emotions, placing them in the happy box until they fester, turning into a heart attack or a stroke. Unless someone has died or is dying, I don't cry. (Someone might include a dog.) But, if I were to cry, there are...

I don't think anyone plays dwarfs. They're so 1998.

For me, the important thing is that a game has a strong narrative reason for have different species. For the most part, D&D fails at this. But since I don't really take any of the D&D settings very seriously, it's something I can live with. I long ago accepted the truth that it didn't matter...

There's got to me some axiom stating every conversation about TTRPGs in general will eventually lead to Dungeons & Dragons. I thought it was a good idea when they, D&D (yes, D&D is it's own creature created from the amalgamated thoughts of fans over the years) abandoned attribute penalties. A...

Al Capone funded soup kitchens and Pablo Escobar was considered a saint by many of the poor people in Colombia because he spent so much money helping them. Crime lords spending money helping people is just good business.

Bingo. The non-human species in most works of fiction are there because they serve some sort of narrative purpose and I feel as though that should be true for most RPG fantasy settings as well. What narrative purpose a halfling might serve in any given setting might vary of course. One nice...

I think there must be something more here. If culture was such a broad palette to work from, then what do we even need fantasy species for? If an elf raised in a farming community is pretty much the same as a human, orc, or dwarf raised under such conditions then what's the point of having an...

"My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's how I like it!" I'm certainly not one to quibble too much on definitions, but I'd have to say if you've been around for nearly 40 years in a hobby that's only 51 years old at this point, you're probably old school.

Then what are you doing playing a game with classes? You should be playing GURPS.
