D&D Goes International

I hate stereotypes too, which is why I love this thread. It puts alot of stupid nutty stereotypes out there and gives us a forum laugh at their absurdity. I've had to deal with incrediblly dumb stereotypes and predjudices my whole life and have learned to laugh at most of them. With that said, though I've already said the Detroit ways to play D and D, being an African American, I can vouch that it is a completely different way we play d and d than anyone else.


15. Ebonics replaces common. Common can not be learned regardless of how many points you put in learn language.

14. The PCs can use the N word when talking about one another and the B word when talking about their women. They can also make any stereotypical jokes about themselves with no persecution yet any NPC whom uses the same jokes are automatically declared enemies by the pc. The only NPC whom can use this terminology is Quinten Tarintino. Any PC with the name Samual or Jackson gets a +4 on intimidation when using this language.

13. The PCs are always falsley imprisoned at the beginning of session. The first part of every session is breaking out.

12 Every friendly NPC they encounter must overly apologize for all of the trangresssions of their ancestors and end every sentence with the words "My brother" or "Fight the POwer" or "Stay strong" or anything else that the pcs say that can come off as corny. The Pcs may sigh and shake their heads.

11. The only pantheon is the chuch of Tupac or the church of Biggie. The church of Emenim is a false church.

10. NO Lord of the Rings Soundtrack, no Conan the Barbarian soundtrack, during sessions its we listen to old school "B_____ better have my money" by AMG. So appropriate for looting a body.

9. If you disagree with the DM, you have three choices, phone Jesse Jackson, phone Al Sharpton or Phone Geoffery Feiger.

8. 10 percent of all gold and platinum found in game is melted down and smelted to form fake teeth and caps.

7. There has to be at least one white guy at every game. To read us the book and adjust our character sheets and for the rest of the PCs to pick on and mistreat. This player must be given the secret honorary black person's card by Steve Harvey. (IF he doesn't declare you black then you're out of luck).

6. Pizza's for chumps. Luckily Popeye's delivers in the hood.

5. We do not play any one campaign for more than two sessions as there is a good chance that 1. we'll be arrested for new charges by next sessions 2. We'll violate our parole or 3. our baby's mama is tripping about child support and its time to "lay low" till the cops stop calling.

4. There is absolutely no capping anyone at the game session. There is also no gang colors allowed at the game table as it is a neutral location. And no your character can not have a red chain mail shirt

3. Game's are played in your mama's basement. Where you are 38 years old and still live because the man made every attempt to put you down at every facit of your life

2. All players get a +8 in strength and Dex as obviously your character is superior physically.

1. No matter the class all players are profiencent with longswords of size modifer huge or greater.

STARP_JVP, do the toilets *really* flush counter-clockwise in your country? Huh, DO THEY!?

No they don't. The "coriolis effect" applies to weather cycles, not to toilets or sinks. When water runs down a drain it just sort of gurgles. The effect at that level is minimal. Our tropical storms go in the other direction, though. Doesn't make any difference, however.

I have, however, had a kangaroo in my garden. It was very embarrassing.
 

In Georgia

1. We play in the bed of our pickups in 5" lift kits and 40" tires

2. Our brother who is also dad is the DM.

3. Games are after football or Monster truck races

4. No black folk allowed.

5. No non-white or non-christians allowed.

6. That is who we fight in the game

7. At 30 we read at a 3rd grade level so we have to have a yankee to read the rule book.

8. math is done on toes because we lost most of our fingers so nothing a +6.

9. There is but one God and Jerry Falwell is his prophet.

10. Only things drank at the table is Coke or Mountain Dew or beer or all three.

You know these are stereotypes right?
 

Great thread here- I'm new in these here parts, but here's the take of a Wiganer on our sessions (Northwest Uk that is).

-The only beverages allowed at the table are either Real Ale, or Tea.
-Pizza qualifies as 'Foreign muck', pies only please. Maybe bread and dripping on a Sunday.
-Since we're to poor to buy dice, we still use numbered chits.
-The villains are usually poncy southern city boys, who up and die as soon as the manly working class adventurers give 'em a slap.
-Most fighter take Weapon Focus, Specialisation and Imp. Critical in either the Headbutt or beer bottle.
-All Pcs are male, wear flat caps and stand up when a woman enters the room.
-Dwarves are the favoured race of PCs due to the mining connection.
-Elves are all pointy headed ponces, and never played as PCs.
-The most feared Devil in all of Hell is the Tax Man.
-All PCs are god fearing religious folk, and anyone who isn't must be a witch.
-All spellcasters are witches, and therefore must be drowned, hung or stoned.
-Poncy southern female Elven spellcasters are the greatest force for evil in all campaigns.

Oh, and while I'm here- the Aussies and Kiwis can claim all the rugby glory they want. We know who the real kings of the game are. ;)
 

In Florida:

1. There are no "Outsiders", just "Canadians".

2. "Thong" is a legal item slot.

3. The most common familars are Alligators and Seminoles.

4. Platinum > Gold > Silver > Canadian Quarter

5. Castles are available in Double-Wide.

6. Literacy is always cross-class.

7. All Taverns have a Champagne Room.

It's slightly different here in Sweden. When the players are all done burning, plundering and pillaging we sail our ships and then ride a moose to the game. Before we can game at all, we have to assemble the furniture and listen to ABBA for a couple of hours. We don't roll dice, we roll meatballs, at the smorgosborkborkbork. Every campaign has at least three characters named Thor, and the players of these characters usually fight fiercly over the fish candy. We don't have TPK:s here, we call them Ragnaroks, and we don't have loremasters, we have nobel prize winners. Now and then we have to stop playing and rescue the blonde naked women from the evil polar bears roaming the streets. Speaking of which, BRB.
 

In Maryland:

1. It is hard to find a group because half of our player base commutes to games in D.C.
2. Every time your character visits a town, you have to roll a Fortitude Save vs. STDs
3. All mead is replaced by National Bohemian.
4. Hard rations are named as such because of their shells. Steamed is the only true way to prepare your rations, with plenty of Old Bay Spice. Boiling rations will brand you a heathen.
5. Any PCs that are killed are immediately dumped into the nearest body of water.

Ahhh, Maryland. Suburb of Washington D.C.
Nat'y Boh is true swill water. Bleh.

No I did not. And you will be hearing from my lawyer, Jesse, Al and Fieger for the emotional distress you've just put me through.
