The Tielfling and The Gnome: On the Set of 4th edition

[Reaper Steve]

And this answers a thread from a couple months ago: 'tiefling' is pronounced 'teef-ling,' not 'tie-fling.'

Blasphemy.

Wait... Tiefling?

I always thought it was Tef (like Teflon)-ling.

We've heard in previous video interviews the designers calling them teef-lings, but it sounds silly to my ear so I still call them tief-lings. But any name with a -ling in it is going to sound a little silly anyway...

High-larious.

The gnome is out of the PHB ... but that was pretty effin' funny.

I never laugh when the joke is predicated on someone else's pain. It's called empathy.

But uh... Gnome's aren't real. They can't feel pain.

And anyone personally feeling "pain" about an RPG change might need to reevaluate their commitment to an imaginary game. No offense.

I thought it was pretty funny, though I'm not really sure about the new gnome look. It would be hard to fit something that looks like *that* back in as even a non-standard player race. I mean, I don't imagine they're just obliterating gnomes from the game, so is Lantan is FR going to be populated by bug-eyed freaks?

I think it was animated by the same guys who do Arj and Poppie. Good stuff.

So, slapstick is not your thing huh?

Funny cartoon. Me laugh.

Man, you know, that was hilarious! I didn't care about the tiefling; she was stale and not funny. She was trying to be too cool with her spiffy powers and being a PC and stuff, and well, I didn't care.

But the gnome; oh my god the gnome! I laughed my arse off! That little guy is so funny! I might have done the lair part perfectly, but when he talks to his badger, I laugh my buttocks off! oh my god, too funny! I would let gnomes back in my games if they were like that. Seriously. Whoever wrote this is good. Really funny.

Awesome! The look on the badger's face was priceless.

Or maybe gnomes now are really more feylike, more wild and primal creatures. I like it, it's very original... I think.

Ack! They've turned the gnomes into Troll Dolls!!

I love Scott Rouse!

That's The Rouse

I don't like the way that the Tiefling's horns are so friggin' huge. I thought they said "most tieflings can pass for human"-- but all the pics I've seen of them they have bigger horns than a bison.

Also, what was that thing sitting beside her? It looked like a cross between a real halfling and one of those "little gray men" aliens (the eyes).
