Antagonists.
Just like in real life.

Just people from different cultures. Sometimes I even focus settings on those cultures.

Practically in the same way, but usually conveniently far enough to not care about them

Environmental. If we enter a new region, I could describe the different climate, wildlife, architecture, flora, culture and skin color. That's the only utility skin color serves: physical traits that are native to a certain part of the world.
This isn't hard.

It's a utopian setting, so I don't.

It doesn't matter. There are non-human races in the world that are more fun to hate.
When's the last time you saw orcs being racist against other orcs who are a slightly different shade of green?

They're just different civilizations, unique in their own regards. It's a fairly globalized mercenary campaign, so feel free to play whatever shade of person you want.

>orcs being racist against other orcs who are a slightly different shade of green
I'm writing this down, fun plot hook.

Shadowrun. at least 3rd edition.

Kek

I don't. They don't exist. Fuck off and don't come back.

Usually as slaves.

Wasn't there some thing in Warcraft where brown-skinned orcs were more pure than green-skinned orcs?

What do you care? I use them like every other race entirely.

DEPENDS ON THE SETTING.

I use Slavs and Finno-Ugrics as orclike hordes from the east

Iberians, Italians, and Balkans are more like particularly vicious goblins

And Scandinavians are pretty much trolls

it's medieval europe where the hominid subspecies never died off

>What do you care?
I wanted to know what people do

Pretty sure 13th Warrior already did that senpai.

>And therefor you can't do it in your amateur make-belief dice game you unoriginal pleb.

>race
This is such a nondescript term.
Are Malay a race? For you maybe not, for Singaporeans it's obvious they are. Are Turkish people a white race? What about Touareg? Or Italians?
It's a term created for the sole reason of explaining your own ignorance.

>Turks
>white
Don't be naive, they're middle eastern.
Also Italians it matters if they're from the north or south.

You can, but everyone's gonna know you're a fag.

Orcs naturally have brown skin tones. Many drank demon blood when they joined the Burning Legion, gaining the green skin, but also going crazy with bloodthirst.

>Also Italians it matters if they're from the north or south.

They're still white, but they got more of a caramel skin, don't get me started on Sicilians.

This is just retarded.

sorry, thought you were one of those that think that southerners are arabs

I mean, most of them got some arab blood, but not enough to consider them arabs.
One drop rule is stupid.

yeah

>Woah people don't all look the same

Woahhh

nobody has watched that shit film m8

this is actually a big feature of an orc campaign I am running, different orc tribes are as hostile towards each other as they are towards non orcs.

Only a literally blind SJW that has lost all sensation in her hands would deny that. The problems start when people argue the differences aren't skin deep. Argue that different environments led to different behavior and different intelligence ranges and suddenly evolution isn't a thing. Because evolution stops at the neck. Black people are stronger, more built and faster because they spent more time as hunter-gatherers, but woe is the man who speculates that this lifestyle also might've favored those who were more agressive while not explicitly favoring the survival of the intelligent.

>Difference in bone and muscle structure,thickness of blood system,size of brain and genetic information
This is a legit bait,but I'll allow it.

>but woe is the man who speculates that this lifestyle also might've favored those who were more agressive while not explicitly favoring the survival of the intelligent.
That would be because this line of reasoning is totally nonsensical since surviving as a hunter-gatherer requires more individual level mental engagement than agriculture does.

Hey, Mr. Frost was amazing.

>It's a term created for the sole reason of explaining your own ignorance.
Nearly every country in the world has a record of the race demographics of their country argue with them before you argue with me

The only person described as having white skin is an albino. Make what you will of that

As the only humans around.

There are no white humans and that's a good thing

This.

It makes travel much more fun in an adventure for fantasy games.

Setting a campaign in a Fantasy Mexican town leading into the South American wilderness can be amazing.

Especially when your party wizard learns the magic of making a burrito properly.

Like modern globalism, sans human-on-human racism.

Why would humans be racist against each other when there's a race of knife ears, green skins, and hole midgets to shit on?

he is

prove me wrong, nerd. oh wait you can't, because i'm right.

You realize that the Stanford-Binet style system of measuring intelligence is bunk dont you? IQ is bunk and has been for many decades. If we gave a modern IQ test to high testing white people from 50 years ago, they would score the same as your stereotype of blacks. And besides, its scoring isn't even a good way of doing it. It takes all the scores, and then creates a mean that evenly divides all test takers. 100 IQ has shifted around so much in the last 100 years it's hilarious and immediately shows its a terrible way of measuring Intelligence as their isnt a single actual objective measure to it.

In addition, once you start making the tests as neutral as possible to be useful across all cultures and stratums of class like the Wisc III test, it turns out that every race is basically the same. So no little /pol/lack, the differences are mostly subtle variation of a highly morphic singular species, essentially very much like dogs.

As to my setting, it's basically like real life, darker humans toward the equator, lighter humans toward the poles. Unless its ice, than they are darker. They all have the same distribution of intelligence and other traits, and are a highly fractious, mildly xenophobic species prone to infighting when not outfighting.

i mean you can talk all this weird hocus pocus shit about iq and numbers, but let me tell you i've never met an intelligent black man and no so called "scientist" has ever been able to explain that one to me good

>it turns out that every race is basically the same.
That's bullshit and you know it.

Well I utilize humans....but I sometimes describe them as having dark skin, or swarthy. I like the word swarthy.

Sometimes you just have a character who you feel works better as a different ethnicity. And sometimes you throw one in for shits and giggles. It aint hard.

>IQ is bunk and has been for many decades.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics)
The current measurements of intelligence we have are the best we have, and very reliable though not flawless. If you're hammering on tiny flaws you might as well throw the entire concept of intelligence, as well as more than a few scientific theories, out of the window.

>If we gave a modern IQ test to high testing white people from 50 years ago, they would score the same as your stereotype of blacks.
Then it would only be fair to give upper class blacks (yes, they existed) of the same period the same tests and see if they still score an entire standard deviation lower. And give the same test to Ashkenazi Jews of that period and see if they still score an entire standard deviation higher.

>In addition, once you start making the tests as neutral as possible to be useful across all cultures and stratums
What the fuck is this even supposed to mean? Are you honestly arguing that pattern recognition, logic and mathematics are Western constructs?

And if there are somehow tests where all races score the same, how can we be sure these tests are reliable? They make us feel good about our egalitarian fantasies but they completely fail to explain why blacks are overrepresented in our prisons and Jews overrepresented among our academics. Unless you somehow believe in a /pol/-tumblr hybrid conspiracy where da Jewish man is keeping a brotha down.

>Unless you somehow believe in a /pol/-tumblr hybrid conspiracy where da Jewish man is keeping a brotha down.
Stormfront user, it's Stormfront.

Usually as people who live in other lands far away, who don't really belong to the region where game is focused and as such, only handful of merchants, explorers and diplomats can be met.

Context. Whatever makes sense and makes for good plot/setting detail/NPC fluff. For example, post-apoc Paris would definitely have significant Indochinese, African, North African and West European pockets you can pull some great characters and concepts from, but it's all measured. Just depends on what's a good idea or not.

You'd be surprised at how many stormfags there are on Tumblr, user

Every race has full ethnicity. In the place where you get black humans, you also get black dwarves with their vast stone cities in the darkest jungles and black elves swinging from the towering trees on long vines and brown/red/orange orc tribes roaming the savanna. Just look at wherever people of a color or ethnic type come from, look at the stereotypes and phenotypes relevant to this place, and apply it broadly to each race. If white humans come from the same place as viking dwarves and celtic orcs and nordic elves, then indian humans must come from the same place as commanche orcs and navajo elves and pueblo dwarves.

>on Tumblr
Oh, you mean Antifa cucks who go on Stormfront to spy so they can signal and go tell there other "antifa" friends to attack the fascists having a meetup and trying to you know, have fun?
Antifa, more like the true fascists here desu.

Yeah, that was probably the dumbest example he could've mentioned. Dog breed intelligence is very well established. A border collie will on average be far more intelligent than, say, a pitbull. There's a reason why certain (often the more intelligent) breeds are preferred for herding sheep, police work and aiding the blind.

>Human adaptation isn't a sign of evolution

Why do my people disappointment me so?

I kek'd

I typically use them as people.

Stormfronts have tumblrs where they reblog each other's stormfront posts.
This is all unironic. It's a widely used website you know.

Often, people from vastly different parts of the world tend to look different.

I actually tend to make elves and dwarves also be somewhat genetically different when they're in other places, so if there's some sort of fantasy india equivalent, the elves and dwarves are also vaguely indian looking.

My setting doesn't have white people.

dem tits on the furthest left one.

that meme level face on the furthest right.

Shit. this entire image is ripe to harvest.

You mean like a slim minority over the very vocal minority of SJWs who happen to be the bigger crowd?

desu the world would be a better place without any of them. any ideology that values human deeds, abilities, and life in general, below tribal shit like their nationality or specific biology, are causing more harm than good.
Only subhuman thugs resort to violence except in immediate self defense.

But since they do exist, it's up to them to realize how retarded they are. It's not like they'll listen to anyone else.

By not having any white people in the setting, then never actually specifying any of the NPCs' ethnicities

>user doesn't like being a tribal "fuck them we're the best" ideals
I bet you support faggots coming in from Reddit.

Actually, most blogs on tumblr are porn. It goes porn > fandom > teen bullshit = sjw (lotta overlap in those three) > white nationalism = arts and crafts

Exist in a different region and have their own sub-traits.

Racism not as prevalent as in IRL because the races are separate and Apu's 1d8 damage is the same as Skinner's 1d8 damage, so people don't really have an opinion of other races and just think of them as "More humans"

Exception are the low races or slave races or the beast races or otherwise races that don't quite get the whole "Building cities and husbanding animals" thing. Those are used for unskilled labor and are chattel.

And how would you know this?

If they lurk moar first, sure. You gotta howl with the wolves among you when in Rome and all that.

Porn blogger.

Easily half the porn blogs are spam, though.

>If they lurk moar first, sure
>supporting redditors
Don't do that.

>You gotta howl with the wolves among you when in Rome and all that.
....are you implying male wolves get their dicks sucked by infant humans?

>going on tumblr
That's immoral

>Burrito
>Acid Grenade
>Can be consume to invoke cloudkill X/day X is the force of the burrito

fucking brilliant

Eh, sometimes the porn blogs are worth looking at.

Nah, that's not immoral. Now, the porn I post and reblog, THAT'S immoral.

This sure are a nice projections and all,but I never said anything about IQ or intelligence of someone's race. I talked about racial difference. And if a genetical difference is not an example to you,then count chimpanzees as well:there's only ,like,5% difference.

But if you want to go full retard,then 'k

1)IQ doesn't measures intelligence,speed of information processing
2)Wow,creatures can develop intellectually,who could have guessed.

It's a very nice "all prooves are wrong".

Seriously,dude,just go to sleep,I want to be challenged when I swallow the bait

I have four races of four species, humans, dwarves, elves, and goblins. Two races of dwarves and one race of goblins are extinct, one race of humans is dying. Nobody is white.

The humans are basically Fantasy America, Fantasy Russia But Pussies, Fantasy Nazi Germany Ruled By Vampire Hitler, and Fantasy Rome.

First picture from google I found.

>Nobody is white.
> Fantasy Russia
>Fantasy Nazi Germany
>Fantasy Rome

*1)IQ doesn't measures intelligence,it measures speed of information processing

>russians

>""""white""""

well, find me some non-white russians

Cossacks, Georgians, Siberians.
Slavs in general.

There are no non-whites in my game.

>slavs
>hellenes
>not white

>generic setting
Probably some precursor society that was very modern/urban, so you had a bunch of races living and close proximity. Shit happened and the average tech level progressed, so you can find pockets of X looking human and players can play what ever irl race/ethnicity they want.


What I'm curious about is has anyone ever employed/made up a human "race" that doesn't really exist? Like how Glorantha(?) had a race of purple men.

How are they nonwhite? Two drops of mongol blood won't make you a nigger

>Cossacks
Not a nation.

Actually this happens IRL where lightskin niggles are racist against darker skinned niggers.

Can't make this shit up.

In America, it does.

I assume the intention is that that describes their cultures and not their ethnicity.

Whites:
Anglo-Saxons
Nordics
Franks

Not White:
Mediterraneans in general
Iberians
Slavs
Celts
Basques

Niggers ARE orcs.

Where do you think Tolkien got the inspiration?

The 3.5 half-orc is a nigger in all but name only.

I'm afraid to ask what sort of ethnicity they have.

Pretty sure Humanis hates ALL orks, not just nigger ones.
