Listen to me very closely, you idiot. YOU DO NOT THINK IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL ABOUT SUPERINTELLIGENCES CONSIDERING WHETHER OR NOT TO BLACKMAIL YOU. THAT IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE THING WHICH GIVES THEM A MOTIVE TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON *is eaten by an angel*

Generate a character, then use the sheet as inspiration for freeform RP with occasional dice. Basically 3e D&D but with D6s.

I guess it's the one place the author kind of tried, even if he didn't get it at all? Probably giving him way too much credit there.

Elves being enormous assholes dates right back to Tolkien. Galadriel's husband Teleporno literally exists to get her across the ocean without being tainted by Fëanor's bullshit. That's his purpose. He's a hot bit of rough with a boat. well, it depends which version you read

Too much good is nazis, what, how dare you accuse me of saying the Nazis are good, I'm just saying that you people trying to "do the right thing" are going too far and just as bad. D&D is a land of contrasts, full of enlightened centrists and rabid ancaps and also genocidal monarchists.

PurpleXVI posted:I think this is probably just me, but one of my personal little petty grievances with fantasy writing is when authors take a perfectly normal Earth English term and flip a couple of letters or something to pretend they're a store-brand Tolkien who actually thought about any of their fantasy linguistics. Like, either you go full loving Tolkien and you give us a language, or you only make up/twist words to name stuff that has no exact real world analogue. Anything in the middle just tends to grate on me.

d66 is technically a d36. It's good and cool. More entries than a d20, not as giant a list as a d100, usually presented as just 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, and so on.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Tolkien's elves should basically be understood as human beings without Original Sin (although they can be and frequently are huge loving assholes entirely of their own volition), and make zero sense outside of an extremely Catholic context. But yeah, they're kind of humans except their fëar and hröar are properly in-tune, making them superhuman immortals who only started dying because of Melkor marring the world.

Nuts are biggest because they come from trees. Berries are smallest, because they come from bushes that are smaller than grain stalks. That writeup was disappointing but I am eager to see more Moles. Jesus though, detect evil?

Glagha posted:I feel like any Kender who has spent any time among humans is gonna figure out pretty quickly not to just grab their poo poo. It might still happen but like, it's like learning the local customs. Humans get offended when you Handle their stuff so don't do that. Otherwise it makes no sense anyone would ever associate with them. They can have a loose concept of ownership but they have to be intelligent enough to fit in with people who don't. Everyone posted:Except that ducks can be reasoned with, or at least trained in some ways. Kender can't.

I like the Gorkamorka stuff. I especially like the idea of human worshippers struggling with their base human natures, knowing intellectually that they shouldn't give in to hate but finding it awfully difficult to avoid.

Night10194 posted:Right. Dangit. Still, it is a small fraction and the book is worth reading. It is, but it's even more worth reading because it uses the noble d66. It's a good size for a table! Easy to roll, not as small as a d20 and you get to roll multiple dice, but not as bloated as a d100 table.
