My Half-Elf warlord in my real-life campaign is very busily trying to pacify the world by establishing a web of trade. The party's been proving itself to the hobgoblin tribe that we're not just waiting to ally with the local elves to backstab 'em, caravans are gonna start rolling pretty soon now. The party is all like 'but they're slavers' and I'm all 'look when they start making profits through trade the slaves are going to become more and more inefficient.' And the Eladrin warlock is (I think inadvertently) advocating more and more strongly for just genociding the hobs entirely (literal dungeon Hitler). More like Dungeons & Detente

I played red box D&D once. The dungeon was dwarves. I spoke dwarvish. A few days of tense negotiation later, and why can't we be dungeon buddies

Hyperactive posted:We did this in a sausage party World's Largest Dungeon campaign. Only it wasn't taming monsters, it was making treaties with the kobolds and goblins and things that lived there. It's a lovely lovely campaign as presented. In the end, our efforts to make it fun by introducing weird poo poo like monster-politics and kingdom building couldn't quite compete. P. sure there were lots of friendly / neutral demihuman tribes in the dungeon, struggling to survive in the world's most implausible setting. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a section of that dungeon that didn't have at least two groups just begging to make friends with an adventuring party. Yes, this includes the enormous crypt of endlessly tormented undead surrounding the dead god.

Gomi posted:More like Dungeons & Detente Friend of mine is playing a racist dwarf. Not Orcs or something you'd expect: no, he has a dispassionate hatred for gnomes. A few in-character gems (3.5 campaign): "Gnomes are so suffused with deception that their magic is strengthened by their lies!" (referring to the racial bonus on illusion spells) "Gnomes don't eat. They rob the food from your stomach." (upon lamenting on our lack of rations) "She tried to run, but with that baby in her arms, she didn't get far. Hit the child first, cleaved into the mother." (regaling us with a tale of "defending" his clan's mushroom forest from gnome "attacks.") "Jon, if you talk to that gnome I will lose all respect for you, and then kill you in your sleep." (speaking to my character about a random gnome that happened to be walking past) "Gnomes have large noses so they can suck up all the air before you can get to it. Remember Jon, if you find yourself trapped with a gnome in a tight space, kill them before they suffocate you." (Introspective on tight spaces) It's rather hilarious, and his character does have a reason to hate gnomes, but even the player recognizes how offensive he is: he's written a disclaimer about roleplaying with his dwarf.

That would've been an interesting party with my grumpy as hell gnome who was pretty casual about his anti-dwarf racism.

Yawgmoth posted:We have two women in my group that do this. We can never just fight anything, no matter how hideous, depraved, or otherwise terrible a thing is; we always have to try to tame/recruit it first. It's not limited to women - my group tends to do that. They would rather talk and deal with monsters than fight them. edit: Even the evil Baphomet worshipping minotaur guard.

Yes but if you killed it you could hire a taxidermist and then you'd get to look at how cool he is all the time in your golden castle built from treasure hordes of late dragons.

Well when you quit your job to focus on writing your webcomic, and then only update your webcomic once every 6 months, you need to do something to pay the bills.

Well, the Singularity is basically the White Nerd-boy Rapture. Observations about white nerd-boy privilege and poor socialization that probably fit better in the other D&D or LF go here. Bieeardo fucked around with this message at Nov 23, 2010 around 14:53 |

The Rapture promises to preserve the elect. The Singularity's distinguishing trait is its unpredictability. It's more like the white nerd-boy Lovecraftian "The Stars Are Right" time, where everybody is hosed, but you already know that life is meaningless, so you might as well be part of ushering in the new age. People who are into Transhumanism, as people who are into any irreligious social movement, tend to be richer, and therefore whiter and male-er. Correlation, causation, yadda yadda, have a cyborg vampire dragon.

but that comic doesn't really hold true, because if the last several hundred years of human history have taught us anything it's that being rich and white does get even more awesome as time goes by
