Is it this one?I live by the "This Is What a First Level Dungeon Should Look Like" meme, but sadly, it seems to have disappeared from the internet.
Can that really happen?

What does the original one say?No it is not. The original one does not say "nope" at the bottom.
I wasn't going to post that one because it says the opposite of what I wanted to say. I would replace "nope" with "Yes, yes, yes!"
I've produced a convenient fantasy racism chart for my next campaign; showing the different grades of fear and mistrust characters of different races (and human ethnicities) should expect from the general populace.So here, what, you're assuming that there's no options beyond "it's clearly a monster because it looks different; we must kill it!" and a happy fun kid's show. There can't be something in the middle.
Well that's certainly a choice. Completely not my jam, but whatever works for your table. How do you quantify "the different grades of fear and mistrust" you describe? DCs on social checks? Adv/Disadv on checks?I've produced a convenient fantasy racism chart for my next campaign; showing the different grades of fear and mistrust characters of different races (and human ethnicities) should expect from the general populace.
I don't have a set of quantified rules on this - it just influences how I portray NPCs. If Bill the farmer doesn't trust wood elves (no farmers trust wood elves), he would require additional convincing to believe something from a wood elf than he would from a human, for example. More interesting than just adjusting a DC, which is kind of opaque to the players, is just to have him make the objection ("I've heard about your kind's trickery; why on earth would I believe you?") and let them figure out an argument or supporting evidence they could use to overcome said objection.Well that's certainly a choice.

Well, originally the question was what to use as a go-to antagonist. So I suggested the Dungeons & Delvers-style orcs, which were created specifically as go-to antagonists.Not to pile on, but it's also irrelevant. The discussion wasn't whether or not orcs were monsters, but whether or not they were just monsters.
Hopefully weakness to fire.Well that's certainly a choice. Completely not my jam, but whatever works for your table. How do you quantify "the different grades of fear and mistrust" you describe? DCs on social checks? Adv/Disadv on checks?
