that’s cool, though it drives it home for me that the system, not the setting, is what makes Pirate Borg interesting to me. The meta plot, in my opinion, makes the story telling too constrictive.
Dude, you called half elves “half breeds”, I told you how disgustingly insulting that was to mixed race people like myself, and you just went back to talking about mechanics. This isn’t about mechanics anymore. It’s about how you won’t acknowledge how the language you choose to employ around...
What you don’t seem to realize is that to some of us mixed people, even if they weren’t specifically labeled “biracial”, that’s how we interpreted them as.
We aren’t “hybrids”. We aren’t “half breeds”. Pet peeves don’t discount who we identify with.
To me, with a Black dad and a white mom, yea, I have since I was a child playing DnD felt a kinship with half elves. Tanis Half Elven was my hero.
I do not, and never have, considered myself a “half breed” as someone earlier said. Some people just can’t accept how much getting rid of half...
I’m mixed race and I always identified with the half elf and half orc as mixed.
I know you didn’t mean to, but you just insulted me and people like me in an incredibly painful manner.
Of course I’d allow it, because in my opinion I think getting rid of half elves and half orcs was moronic. It erased me as a mixed race person, and I am frankly still rankled by the decision.
