We are all human players (unless there are any Skrull changelings out there among us. If so. Welcome!). The range of emotions, backstories, motivations and skills that may guide us, move us, engage us, and shunt us to the front of the line must make for some amazing stories.The vast and unending scenarios that we can imagine in our greatest dreams and worst nightmares should give us; the role-player, more than enough ammunition, energy and emotional thrust to to play out multiple facets of anything the human brain can conceive.This is Spart....escapism. or Therapy or any other thing that D&D means/provides for you.Boring? Never. Not so. Challenging, Draining, Frustrating, Emotional, Driving, Exhilarating, Accepting, Pre-judging, Short-lived, Spiky, Bashful resentful, Intimidated. Or just plain you. of Course, but boring? Only if you let it be so. And you never should!Being Human is difficult when others can see in the dark, are more fortuitous, have greater resistance, can Jump like Hulk, Fly like Superman, Deceive like Mystique, and live to a thousand years old. The light that shines twice as bright etc.Take your destiny. Make your stand. live to the fullest. And show those that live 20 times your age what you are made of.Mechanically boring?.....Bollocks!......Live for now! Make History!Rant over. Now go play the snowflake teleporting, hard shell AC, lucky, wall crawling, long-lived, long-armed, spell resistant, winged, armoured, shape-changing races.What do they know? Sweet F/A, Nothing, Nada. Why? Because they are not human. Mechanics be damned! Well Rant may now be actually over now.'nuff said.Tl, dr.Humans? Not so bad.</blockquote>
