[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8154664, member: 7023840"] In order to move away from contentious discussions about players and/or player haters, I thought I'd fork the best conversation I'd seen recently into its own thread. Admittedly, there is some danger in using the word "fork" anywhere in proximity to the word "pizza" but I am willing to take that chance! On the other thread regarding the appeal of "exotic" races (ancestries, lineages, folks, etc.), a conversation broke out about what types of pizza various races might be, and/or how terrible Chicago-style deep dish pizza might be (ahem). So I thought I'd offer my pizza-based analysis of the core races from the PHB and then throw it out to see what ideas other people had! [B]Dragonborn[/B] I cannot improve on [USER=6704184]@doctorbadwolf[/USER] - the dragonborn are the Hawaiian pizza of D&D. Relatively new, distinctive, beloved by some and viewed as "not pizza" by others. [B]Dwarf[/B] Mushroom pizza. Definitely mushroom pizza. An old favorite that is not quite as popular as it was. [B]Gnome[/B] The gnome is your BBQ Chicken Pizza- it's good, and all, and it's been around for a long time, but it always seems like there are better pizzas. [B]Half-Elf[/B] This is the pepperoni pizza. Sure, it's super popular, but also a little greasy. [B]Halfling[/B] Definitely a meat-lovers. There's always someone who wants a meat-lovers pizza, and someone who wants to play a halfling. [B]Half-Orc[/B] The Half-orc is your standard anchovy pizza; it used to be really popular, isn't that popular anymore, and it's kind of uncomfortable. [B]Human[/B] Cheese. If you go variant, you get a margherita. [B]Tiefling[/B] This is your buffalo chicken pizza. A little spicy, a little new, sometimes disappointing. Bonus- Elves are calzones. They aren't even pizza, no one really wants one, and yet there are so many of them. [/QUOTE]
