Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mecheon" data-source="post: 9556052" data-attributes="member: 6801776">Race is the wrong term ever since Tieflings came along back in original Planescape in 1994, who are pointedly not a race. The term has been wrong for over 30 years. Generally speaking any time "Random feature table" comes out you're more "Random by-product of your history" and not a race by any definition thereinmate i am in recovery from gallbladder surgery and this take is making me think I'm still on the heavy stuff they gave me before I went under. Or maybe you're on 'em.I'd recommend just, editing that one out of your post before, y'know, we get to the regular counterarguments on this. The fact orcs haven't had to be evil for at least 30 years, the Tolkein scholarship, the existsence of Warcraft showing that orcs as nuanced people is popular and strong enough that World of Warcraft has repeatably just crushed the two D&D MMO attempts at rising to its level. Y'know, the usual counter arguments because 'orcs are eivl!1!' is such a piss-weak and miserable argument it ain't even woth my time. Its so piss-weak if you tried to sell it as alcohol you'd be written up for selling a non-alcoholic drink. No edge. No spice.Words have meanings and the correct ones should be used to explain what someone is talking about. If you go and tell me "Oh no this is my magical land of Fantasalia where we call Tigers 'Wolves'" then I'm going to say "Yeah nah mate its a bloody tiger"</blockquote>
