Why do you wear costumes of no-humans in Halloween?, why straight men play videogame with female characters as Lara Croft?
I don’t mean this as a challenge or criticism, but it’s odd to me that this perspective can persist in the face of so many people over years explaining how the other races can be more than that.
Somehow, I forgot to list “because I found a cool mini” as mentioned by others.Why play nonhumans (of any kind)?
Aesthetics, mechanics, exploration of otherness*, the in-campaign cultural tropes, humor, because it might bug someone else at the table, conforming to party theme, filling a gap, because it might enhance certain aspects of the campaign, because of an archetype, because it’s against an archetype...
Etc.
* I also play other genders and sexual orientations in part for this reason.
I'm not sure what to make of that. Is it supposed to be horrifying, or lewd?I really want to eat Elvensies
Darkvision, obviously.
In Tolkien Hobbits have six, or more, meals a day. Elevnsies is the third meal of the day.I'm not sure what to make of that. Is it supposed to be horrifying, or lewd?
