D&D! The Science of bludgeoning Elves to death.

[mantits]

Well, maybe you got me there since I can understand complaints about them being kind of extreme for basic player's handbook races. On the other hand, though, diversifying to such an extreme is something I can really appreciate the principle of even if I'd have gone with subtler things.

Like even I would find it too much if they let you play some sort of beholder-man right off the bat in the main game.

My favorite thing to do is still the unholy combination of warforged+dragonborn. FUCK YEAH ROBOT DRAGON!Its just so gloriously retarded.

Why couldnt we engage on this level on your own forums you fucking aardvark.

I don't remember being different but maybe I was less enthused about forums at the time or too many other people were talking all at once.

When I played D&D the first of two DM's was also trying to design his own original fantasy RPG and hyped up his races with "you can play ANYTHING!" but it turned out you could really just play one of the dozen species he made that were similar to D&D's with fancier names, except that his elves were plant people with wooden skin. There may have been some kind of wolf people too.

The system wasn't very different from D&D 3e either.

That happens yeah. Its really hard to homebrew stuff as actually memorable as the core races and stuff, not mention nerds are lazy.

And if you try to replace the classics of the genre with something too new you probably lose a big chunk of the audience anyway.

Thats not necessarily true, Both Dark Sun and Eberron were fairly radical departures from normal high fantasy wizardry.WEIRD POST APOKALYPTIC EVIL CAPTAIN PLANET BADGUY WIZZERDS AND ROBOT INDIANA JONES IN MAGIPUNK LAND GO!

I wasnt enough of an artfag to know him by name, but i do enjoy his work. My fave is probably the guy who did most of the warforged art? when he decided to make a non base warforged they jsut look so.... Personal, like hey all have stories to be told :V

I reviewed the wingless wonder and then just listed a bunch of miscellaneous ones that I liked and nobody talks about much.

You're aware of the wingless wonder though right

Here's its last official published info and it includes a story!

Ardreyth Mizzrym, Matron of her House at the time, received a fatal
surprise when she casually lashed a chittering wonder out of her path
during a hunt – and it snarled and unleashed a meteor swarm that fried
her and most of her family around her. When the drifting smoke thinned,
the blackened wonder was seen, by the astonished drow survivors,
standing unconcernedly amid the cooked carnage, having survived the full
damage of its own spell. It sighed and shuffled slowly away. That
transformed wonder is still out there in the Underdark, somewhere; the
drow dared not try to stop it going on about its business.

[i love my dead gay forum]

i remember seeing a d&d monster one time that was basically just a skull with a spinal column that moved around like a snake. anyone know which monster that is? I realise there's probably like 10 things that it could be.
