In keeping with the theme of the conversation... it's time for another little chunk of the GitP forums.quote:Indeed, reminds me of the time my play-group went to try and shutdown the Brothel that was run by a Urgathoan Sect. (They'd each raise an dead woman's body as a permanent thrall, and maintain it with negative channel energy, and then pimp it out.) quote:The gaming group was run in a University Dorm, and we had some... problem players from Women's Studies that refused to accept it was an invite-only game and that theirs was rescinded after their disruptions. The undead brothel 'adventure' was okay-ed with the other players for if they showed up again.

I do love that in the story where a cult raises the dead and uses them for sexual slavery, paladins trying stop the literally raping of the dead are the bad guys. All because raping the dead isn't against the law. There is no way that cult is using that money for good. And no one in that town is against their dead mothers/sisters/wives's body being hosed by random weirdos because it made the town money? Like that is so clear cut evil you might as well say the cult also kicks puppies.

What I got out of that blurb was that they stopped doing the brothel plot when the Social Justice Paladins joined up, but later they tried to coerce the group to stop killing races that exist solely to provide XP, and were never actually part of the necrophiliac brothel plotline until the rest of the group wanted the most insulting way to dispose of their corpses. Sure, the whole thing is immature and stupid, but so was demanding to join an invite-only D&D game with players they previously clashed with on a personal level instead of starting their own. A bunch of dorm kids being petty and awful all around, no surprise there.

Angela Christine posted:"Why is it okay to slaughter entire communities of farmers, tradesmen, women and children just because they are traditional enemies and have It's interesting and clever if it matches the theme of the game. If the theme is more along the lines of classic dungeon crawl and the goblins/kobolds/orcs are attacking on sight when you enter the next room, it's just obnoxious. But, as was also said above, it sounds like teenagers being petty on both sides, when they should just talk about what kind of game they want to play before even starting to play.

No one actually joins a D&D game with the intent to derail it by refusing to fight goblins. It's a made-up story about a dude imagining a scenario where he would have power over some uppity females.

In the games I run no humanoid race ever is just there to provide experience. There's always nuance to their behaviour. Except Orcs, they just evil.

VanSandman posted:They won't join with the explicit aim of derailing it, then. I dunno, I imagine someone encountering the "goblins=brown people" trope for the first time might think themselves incredibly clever for trying to take it into a game world where it is a completely new idea. The more the other players resist, the more smug self-righteous superiority points you get.  If the DM was up for it, it could make an interesting campaign when the do-gooders try to introduce Moral Relativism in a setting that really truly possesses absolute Good and Evil. Organize a peace treaty between humans and greenskins, and the greenskins keep breaking it because they're loving evil. Set up an orphanage for goblins, drow, and other races often oppressed by adventurers. Spend years, decades, nurturing them with kindness and love. Watch 99% of them grow up to be evil bastards anyway, because Evil is part of their innate nature, not a product of their environment. Given hope by the 1% of non-evil orphans they raised, let them find a black dragon egg. The evil mother is dead, but the egg is still viable. Surely if you raise it from the egg so it never knows it is supposed to be Chaotic Evil, you can raise it to be the first Lawful Good paladin black dragon. Lol, nope. After 20 years the young dragon eats you in your sleep.

Yeah, definitely the best way to shut people up that complain about implicit bigotry in D&D is to build an entire campaign around the contention that people of some races are just born evil.

Goblins are a lot more fun as troublemakers and grifters than as dumb evil cave bandits.

Troublemakers and grifters - and anyone else who might try to run a complicated plan rather than just mindlessly attack PCs - are generally more interesting than dumb evil cave bandits, goblin or not.
