Gnomes are the least worthwhile race ever to have been created.
Gnomes are terrible, no-good troublemakers with no value whatsoever. Quite frankly, I fail to see how any self-respecting person could even consider playing as a filthy little gnome. They're terrible little turnip-munchers who'd have no issue immolating an entire city of it served their stupid little interests. Gnomes are only worthwhile as football substitutes, and anyone who thinks otherwise should leave.
Gnome apologists stay out. Go fap to garden statuary.
The only good gnomes are 4E's fey Vietnamese peasants who fled to the material plane to get away from the battles between the Eladrin and Formorians that kept destroying their homes, and built an entire culture around not being seen and avoiding attention so they would be left alone.

Speaking from personal experience is there any midget race at all that doesn't make you cringe a bit when someone shows up and asks to play one? I have never seen one played in a manner that wasn't an irritating joke that went on and on and on.
Robert Price
The fuck kind of people you play with, user?

>Not making these your gnomes They're living tools made to scurry about and fix things with their implements of construction, what's not to like?
Joshua Anderson
Gnomes are the pinnacle of fantasy races. There is literally nothing that offers what Gnomes offer. NO other race will ever satisfy your subliminal (or overt) urges to be an antisocial old midget. Personally I think that a party with less than 40% Gnomes at least is pretty much salvageable at character creation.

What about garden gnomes?
My paladin serves the god of garden gnomes, whose one commandment is to gather as many garden gnomes as possible in one place so that he can be summoned and create heaven on earth, beginning with that spot
Wyatt Ward
I don't know if this is a joke or whatever, but knows are shit.
Usually played like twats by twats too.

Pretty much every short race except gnome really

Ah, the Gnome. Disgusting little wretches who control the world through their banks and Gnome gold. They appear harmless and happy, but don't be fooled. They're greedy midgets who control the world through a massive conspiracy that actively seeks to breed human women with greasy Orks in order to create a dim witted slave race not unlike the "niggaz" of the southlands. They're terrible and cruel, using lying and deceit in order to infiltrate human civilization.
And once they're in, they never come out. Always warping their host civilization into a abomiable parody of itself. Like the Elves, who were once the mightiest of warriors, but are now complete degenerates with the sluttiest women in all the land (and that's not even getting into their phallic architecture design).

Gnomes and haflings are interchangeable anyway i.e. they both serve the same niche of having a small player race, so having both in your setting is just redundant. Just replace both with generic smallfolk race.
Elijah Kelly
halfling?
Brandon Wilson
In a lot of cases, yeah people make shit worlds where gnomes are slightly weird halflings. Now, if you make a halfling village that's all about Hobbit-esque homebodies and hearty living while the neighboring gnomes are loud adventuring tinkerers and inventors who always seem to be blowing up something, you have a good difference going. Bonus is the elves up in their tree cities are only aloof because they're baking cookies as high art.
Charles Phillips
The only reason gnomes and halflings should be interchangeable is if you created a world with both, but were too lazy to make them different. It's basically the same as saying humans and elves are interchangeable

You're gnome good, OP
