[QUOTE="Tristissima, post: 714837, member: 6162"] Well, I kinda do have a halflifetish. turns me on more than the thought of Lidda in her leather armor, but I will stop there for the sake of Erics' grandma. :-) Actually, I mostly want to include them because the whole point is kind of to make D&D in al its sacred cows present in the modern-day, but also all of them, even the cute things to have a sort of horror to them. I think that that is the most horrific thing about, say, the use of children in Stephen King (take the twins from The Shining for instance). That they are usually cute and in fact still are just makes the horror more horrific, I think. Now, halflings don't HAVE to be cute and I believe I've seen some pretty decent non-cute halflings (I've never actually read Dark Sub, but I've read short descriptions of the halflings there and that seems to fit nicely). However, the lingering taste of hobbits and kender results in their baseline being cute and/or humorous. This is probably why it is proving difficult for me to come up with a good concept for them, unlike the other races. I, like the players I wish to horrify, seem to still be tasting hobbits and kender, but I think that, with the right concept behind them, that lingering taste will intensify the horror and just make it that much worse, uh, I mean better, yeah. :-) [/QUOTE]
