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.

What game or games are we talking about here? GURPS, Savage Worlds, D&D, and other games treat species in their own way.

Kind of weird for a kid’s game, right?

Don't leave us in suspense. What did you think?

Now can we go over why Palladium likes to add ™ and © to words in so many of their publications?

No shade on them. I frequently have to ask questions like, "Roll whatever the equivalent of Streetwise is in this game."
