Feminously Gendered Feline Hivemind Thread

Can we say 'boring' ? To be fair, 75% or more of my PCs are humans--but I usually GM.

Heh, I rarely play humans because I think they're boring, but I also think they're the race with the second most flexible backstories. They're very versatile.

Yup, which makes me happy. Yay!

Whoever threw a fit doesn't yet have a grasp of LEW policy. I probably take it to an extreme when I say, "It's about fun, first, then consistency."

I like feats. I also can find a really weird backstory no matter the race. Look at Lasair

I'm actually all for consistency. I will do my absolute best to keep it consistent if I can. But I want to throw in whatever NPCs and monsters I like in my encounters, and I don't care if that makes it harder for the next person who goes there to stay consistent--just don't send the PCs to the spot where I sent them if you don't want to deal with it--simple as that

Well, yes. I think Half-Elves beat out Humans in background versatility, but any race can be stretched. The feat is usually why I choose Human, if I really need it.

Don't get me wrong, I think consistency is important, but fun is more important.

Then again, someone could ask you for the stats of the creature you used.

I always really need the feat. The question is whether another race is cool enough that I can afford not having the feat. Usually not.

I agree. I like consistency, but I love winging GMing too. I am capable of winging while staying consistent, so that's what I usually do.

Yup. I guess it gets more dicey when I throw in NPCs, though

Eh. Especially if I'm playing a double-weapon wielder (I know, I'm weird, but I like it), or some other sort of Fighter, I'll take a race that has Weapon Familiarity instead of taking the EWP.

Do you take notes or do you remember everything?

Note to self: Kill all NPCs.

I don't play fighters. Except as NPCs when I'm the GM.

Do you take notes or do you remember everything?

Some of both. Mostly my semi-eidetic memory for trivia (the Dork Tower comic where Ken rattles off tons of D&D stuff and then forgets his mom's birthday describes me well).

Note to self: Kill all NPCs.

Nah, I like making nice NPCs too much. I'm such a softie. I pretty much always make good PCs too

You're spying on us?

Of course. Charlarn is cooling his heels in the Inn. I like seeing what others are doing in LEW.

I prefer humans, the extra feat and skill points are too good to pass up for me.

Always casters or just no Fighters? Any reason?

Interesting. I remember details related to stories, maybe it's due to too vivid an imagination.

But then you (and future GMs) don't have to worry about consistency? "What happened to him?" "Anton went berserk and killed him." "... Is he Evil?" "What makes you think that?"

Sneaky

Boooooooring

That could be it. I have that too. Its a curse--I can't read books or watch movies twice because I remember them too well.

Okay, wanna switch to Favoured Enemy (Human) and off Alyx before you leave? Then claim that she isn't sick anymore so you deserve all the gold
