Ambiguously Gendered Return of 'What is the Hivemind?'

[Kemrain]

Why would it make you cry?

Because I missed it! Sex-swapping conversations make my world go round, and I missed one. It's too sad.

Hmmm... usually I get the hobbit puns, but not the latest...

Hmm.. "aiding and abiding"?

What do you think would happen if a male orc was turned into a elven female?

Check the top of page 30. It's there in all it's glory. Then again, I suspectthe meat of it is on page 29 at the bottom. Haven't read that. Not gonna. It'll make me cry.

- Kemrain the Tearful.

You should read it, it was funny. If I recall correctly, Bront claimed that using Girdles of Femininity to solve problems of being the wrong gender was overkill, and I claimed it was simple and efficient

 

[Rystil Arden]

Oh, and don't just go back only to Page 29--go to Page 28 (and I saw you there posting on Page 28 ) it mostly starts on Page 28, Post 1104

You're the one who mentioned male characters needing to become girls twice. I mentioned a fix. If we were playing AD&D, I would have selected the non-permanent Dryad Cordial option, which had the added bonus of increasing Comeliness if drunk by women (but a cumulative chance that the gender switch is permanent). You know, too bad Kemrain isn't online. Kemrain likes these kinds of discussions.

Rysti, you can be my proxy Hero, for when JDiv isn't around. You totally rock.

I have a feeling an orc would rather die than become a female elf. Especially because he knwos what kind of treatment he'll get from his brethren.

"Pass me up another elf, this one's split!"

Rysti, what's this Driad thingey?

Dryad Cordial is a magical item from Second Edition. I'm at work, so I don't have my Encyclopaedia Magica here with me, but it basically had two effects:

1) If the drinker is male, he falls asleep and when he wakes up, he's a girl--temporarily, but there is a cumulative chance it becomes permanent.

2) If the drinker is female, she falls asleep and when she wakes up, she has more Comeliness (an optional ability score from second edition that lets you be pretty without impinging on Charisma), temporarily, but there is a cumulative chance that she keeps it and becomes a dryad.
