Have you tried playing D&D 5e? It's where all the otherkin snowflakes and donut steels hang out. You'll fit right in.
I like where you were going with this, but that was way too obvious
>Literally every single character is giving each other bedroom eyes
Why?
Because they all like role-playing gay fantastical sex scenes, coupled with melodramatic crying scenes and in the middle of combat marvel style one liners
I'd like this image if it wasnt for the unicorns
I still dont like this image
Its the pigeon, isn't it.
>He doesn't like TF2
The character conjuring the unicorns is mentally disabled.
I'd like D&D if its creators, fans, and everyone else involved weren't mentally disabled.

NOW i will join your party
Ég ríf ykkur í bita!
Cartoonish aesthetic works best for this.
Yes.
>Meanwhile in the year of our lord
and the other half of the party
Quite the change from the Rules Cyclopedia.

Outside of the homosexual on the left the party composition is pretty tame
And the best part of Dungeons & Freakshit? All that old problematic SHIT like races having non-human/non-left wing ways of viewing the world or ingrained racial morals? GONE MAWFUKKA! You want to be a cloven footed fork tailed horns sporting literal devil spawn directly descended from the God of Evil that isn't persecuted on sight or actively hunted down by vigilantes working for the inarguably Good Gods? Well you can with zero repercussions because Tieflings are now a blank slate with nothing that actually distinguishes them any other race except for their special snowflake horns and tails! Not even stats anymore because races now are generic +2/+1 stat increases! Elves are just as robust as dwarves now by default! 8 foot tall Mr Olympia winning Goliaths are as sneaky and quick as halflings now!
Truly, 5e is what the world tots needed right now. Dozens of different races with no actual difference in beliefs, culture, or morals all living together harmoniously in cities solely built for and designed to accomodate human physiques and needs with only special snowflake physical accoutrements setting anyone apart!
What a fun and interesting and safe for life setting! Huzzah D&F for being the TTRPG we NEEDED for today's nasty world! Come be inclusive with the rest of us
a special snowflake like you will fit right in with the rest of us snowflakes!
You'd prefer something like this?

>Kaelic Fighter
>Stout Hin Fighter/Thief
>Half-Callarii Cleric/Mage
>Makai Druid
>Lupin Bard
shut up pussy now roll your human fighter
Okay, but I'll be sure to stick points and feats into Medicine because now we don't have a healer.
>noooo, I don't want to play human
>but this wacky skin colored human with minor anatomical differences is totally cool with me
Poseur.
Grogtards don't understand that fantasy should be fantastic. Low fantasy isn't real fantasy.
>t. retarded TSR/OSR player who makes statblocks not characters because he knows his statblock is dead 5 seconds in
In an actual ROLEPLAYING GAME where the setting matters as more than set dressing, these races also have different mechanical abilities, different cultures, and different personalities. You'd know this if you played games - but you don't.
>these races also have different mechanical abilities, different cultures, and different personalities.
But they don't. Yeah sure the short description has a list of minor personality quirks that the entire race has, but they're still essentially a human from a different culture. Don't pretend that shit like Gith or Tabaxi are ever played as anything but quirky humans.
And thats fine. I don't give a shit about other people playing a quirky human. But this whole narrative that "you're playing something wildly different from yourself and playing a human is boring in comparison" is just cope. You're not a wizard or a burly fighter or a ranger in real life either. A character can be interesting and fun regardless of race. Races are just the crutch new or uncreative players use as a scaffold to build off of. A human cultural paragraph would be just as useful if not for the "ooo shiny" effect of racial shit.
>But they don't.
Says who? Not any handbook that's for sure.
>Yeah sure the short description has a list of minor personality quirks
They have an entire set of paragraphs dedicated to their behavior, culture, and other such things. Hell, lizardfolk are straight up listed as being completely alien in mindset.
>they're still essentially a human from a different culture
Nogames take. If you live for 1000 years you will not be the same as some ant that lives for under 100 (humans).
>Don't pretend that shit like Gith or Tabaxi are ever played as anything but quirky humans.
Don't pretend like you actually play games, let alone know what other people who actually do play games do at the table.
>you're playing something wildly different from yourself and playing a human is boring in comparison" is just cope
Nah, you're the one huffing copium.
>You're not a wizard or a burly fighter or a ranger in real life either.
Those are jobs, not races.
>A character can be interesting and fun regardless of race
Unless they're human, in which case their bland and forgettable at all times because humans in D&D have no set culture by default, which is why I give them a hard niche and don't use the official stats, just like I would for any other race because fuck this generic slop.
>Races are just the crutch new or uncreative players use as a scaffold to build off of
Projection.
>A human cultural paragraph would be just as useful if not for the "ooo shiny" effect of racial shit.
Except it wouldn't because humans live under 100 years on average while elves live ten times that number, dwarves four, and even the 5e PHB touches on these aspects for Faerun, the default setting for the system, so you're a lying homosexual who should kill himself, now.
>Hell, lizardfolk are straight up listed as being completely alien in mindset.
>Description is just an autistic person who also happens to be slightly cannibalistic
Yeah, totally alien
>If you live for 1000 years you will not be the same as some ant that lives for under 100 (humans)
>Noldorfag
And yet nobody ever plays elves as anything but prissy or stuck up humans.
The best you can come up with is lifespan differences that have no effect on the race's 1-3 paragraph cultural description and one of the two examples of an okay designed race. Lizardmen and Kenku are the sole exceptions, in a roster of over 50 races, of having examples of actual racial differences in thought and mindset. And even then they're just humans with limitations. Your entire post is just angry shitflinging and cope. If you hate being human so much, kindly have a nice day.
>nogamesnogamesnogames
who's the one projecting?
Which human culture can fly with their own biological wings?
Why would you care what tryhards who don't actually play games think?
grognards play games, that is their defining feature
Except they don't, they just go on /tg/ and whine about how other people are having badwrongfun because they can't have any fun at all because nobody wants to play their dogshit systems.
>Alignments
Most useless, pointless mechanic in a roleplaying game that only leads to retards like (you) playing the most bland, generic, obnoxious stereotypes instead of real characters.
>complains about grogs bitching about people having badwrongfun
>in the same post, bitches about people having badwrongfun
But you do play as a homosexual OP
Why would you ever want to play as anything other than a lawful good human paladin, a chaotic good human fighter, or a lawful evil human magic user?
I play lawful good human clerics.
Because I start every game as Neutral, and let the DM judge my morality how he will.
Because I'm not afraid of liking things outside your confort zone.
>plays a non human cuz it looks cool
>grognargs bully me I don't play as something I already am irl
>shed my glamor and reveal my true form
>they bully me for playing a boring self insert
Jej
How come you guys can be so weird?
What do you mean youd be playing as something you already are? You are not a fighter, a Magic user a cleric or a thief.
Honestly, I really dont get this feeling you have of playing some different exotic race. Do you like the confort of visualizing your fantasies come true through some numbers on the paper and words that say what you are? What is the point If It changes little mechanichally and being a elephant cat man is just something you are imagining in your head because, really, no one can see It!! What is the point?? What is the point? How does It change the game?
>in a game of make belief why do you care about pretending
Idk anon…
>You are not a fighter, a Magic user a cleric or a thief
I'm a lay preacher who does MMA, HEMA, and magic tricks actually
Nice, I wish I had as many skills as you, I can only do a few Magic tricks. Good for you!!
bully me
How autistic should you be to care about grogs opinions?
About as autistic as the average fa/tg/uy
>the grogs have above average stats in physical traits and Charisma
>bully them for playing as something they aren't irl
You aren't cool,. so you could play a cool human
made me laugh
Is that why you never play a wizard?
>gnognards bully me
Empty internet strangers with no better to do will always bully you. Just talk to normal people and ignore the retards, my man. Live in peace and play what you want (but only what fit your game and group. Don't play a human in elfword, don't play a snakeman in conan. Yadda ydda)
>cuz it looks cool
Retard.
freakshit is fine if youre actually a freak imo
playing as a non-human should mean your character has an alien mindset to a human, not just "boo hoo i was persecuted because im red and horned and also a thief and psychopath"
