Yuan-Ti, or those weird rainbow winged wolf things (can't remember name)

Those fucking backwards-hand tiger people

why are their goddamn hands backwards

why

That's why.

I saw a neckbeard and two people in blackface at my table

fuckin SENMURVS. Those things are awful. At least Yuan Ti have a kind of interesting concept beyond "rainbow furry wolf friend who's maaaaaaaaagic"

>take basically the entire category of "demon" in Hindu mythology
>make them evil tigermen with reverse hands
Sasuga Gygax-san

I once asked a drawfag to make a half-orc barbarian with senmurv hide armor. I was not disappointed.

Another drawfag in the thread took liberties with my request and made him penisguy.

He looks fukkin fabulous user. Be proud.

Truly, the best use of Senmurv I've seen.

He was awesome. The second pic eventually became another PC's character when he lost his first. We became the setting's version of the guys from Cho-Aniki cross with Hans and Frans, constantly searching for the sacred protein to achieve maximum gains.

>half fey
>half celestial
>also has red dragon blood in him so hes constantly fighting his "inner evil"

IIRC it was how you found they were demons while shapeshifted. Like how arabic demons always had blue eyes.

Tiefling, for now.
I don't play much, yeah...

Elves. I hate those freaky treefags.

I've only ever seen that kinda character in freeform shit tee bee aitch.

Humans. No claws, no teeth worth shit, no horns, no fur, no magic, and hopelessly stupid; HOW do they still exist?!

>Be uneducated American
>find thing
>WOW BUT THING DOESNT MAKE SENSE AT ALL WHY IS IT THING
>complain about thing because you couldn't be arsed to google it for 5 minutes
>other ignorant retard americans start clapping because they dont understand thing but all agree that thing is bad

Every single fucking time, whether it is about history, folklore or mythology.

If you could channel the power of your butthurt into a rocket, you might actually be able to go all the way to where YOUR country put its flag on the moo- Oh wait.

Source on the webcomic?

>Y-Y-Y-You a-a-are s-s-so b-b-butthurt

Nah.

On a different note though:
You managed to channel your ignorance into thinking you have won two world wars yet dont do not stop to think why a bunch of commie rice farmers in a swampy shithole managed to kick you out of it.

>thinking Veeky Forums is the correct board for /pol/ garbage
Every time

>he actually replied

>tfw huge fan of centaurs
>always wanted to play one in an rpg
>either too annoying to make work in the rules or is poorly received at the table
n-not all of us are bad, I s-swear.

If given the chance, I would play a unicorn.
Heck, beyond making it a race, the rest is just RP.

>>make them evil tigermen with reverse hands
they already had backwards hands

Why does his face remind me of Creed so fucking much

Had a player who made a Amazonian foxgirl priestess who lactated potions in a campaign I was in once. Kid was a complete nutjob, fucked with the DM constantly, then disappeared from our college.

>lactated potions
that's hilarious

He was obsessed with kitsune. Made the same thing several times. DM killed him off a dozen times, then kid went nuclear after a session calling the girl we played with a whore. Guy was a true gentlemen.

Not being funny but if you genuinely want to play a pink unicorn centaur with blue hair, monkey ears and no pants you should just walk in front of a bus tomorrow.

I once played in a GURPS fantasy game with a furfag that made a Giant Blue Dog that pissed acid.

Unicorns were brutal creatures who defended various holy sites and lived in wild nature. They could take down dragons.

Sadly they also became tied to purity and virginity and femininity, but old school unicorns were pretty beast.

Just a unicorn, maybe a cleric or favored soul of Mielikki. Not anything that would require a new civilisation to justify.

Also, where did you get that idea?
I didn't quote OP, nor did the guy I replied to,

Basically all of them in Talislanta.

But it so overdoes it, takes the whole idea and runs full steam so hard that they all work anyhow.

Now, in all fairness, Google didn't exist back in 1975. It also didn't exist in 1979, or 1981. I'm looking at some pretty old monster manuals right now, and, to be quite frank, I'm surprised Gygax got as much right as he did. Have you seen that old book where he stats various myth figures? I used to have it, but lost it. It was first ed., too, so it still had Cthullhu, before lawyers had to go and ruin it. That one was awesome, and showed that sometimes, they actually did the research. Like the stats for Monkey. That son of a bitch is fucking broken, even by the more open standards of OSR.

So, Gygax occasionally got some stuff wrong, or a little off. Bear in mind, he (and Arneson, I guess) had to make these things work in his system, and his settings. It is a shame that Rakshasas were one of the only ones introduced at first, considering how awesome fighting an Asura would be. Or that dude with the ten heads. Or the blue guy. Or the other blue guy.

>Sadly they also became tied to purity and virginity

Agreed

>femininity

Disagree

They are tied to benign expressions of female sexuality, the enjoyment of the sexual sensation of riding without breaking the hymen, even though they have a long, scary 'horn' to penetrate with. So they're pretty much the 3rd base of monsters.

Why are you so butthurt about Americans on this board? Please, show me where the big mean American man touched you.

that unicorn grill a cute

...

Horse

I feel you twoo, on a serious level. We just want to play actual fantasy races we like.

Centaur is the best race(for the size) to use when playing a hulking hurler, though. You wanna be able to chuck goblins into the next zip code? Centaur Hulking hurler.

Have you considered running a game of Lace and Steel?

The only real problem I ever had with centaurs was that I was not sure which part of the body to cover with a loincloth.

Anyway, I really like this picture. To me, it emphasize the whole point of playing a centaur, and why everyone who forbids non-core races on grounds other than established setting reasons are the ones who kill fantasy gaming and roleplay.

I don't care if you don't like fantasy races as characters. They lead to many more options for roleplay and storytelling. Such as a fucking joke of a horse-guy going down a ladder rescuing a girl. This would be nice to see in my games.

Seconding this

which euro hell hole are you from? Please say France for maximum irony.

The Commie Rice Farmers knew that America would soon tire of the war.
So, even though we killed 10 of them for every 1 of us they killed, they could wait us out and win.

It's almost like that bleached flag on the moon has no effect on bolstering the fragile ego of the millions of Americans who pride themselves on knowing things but who know nothing.

Hey be nice to france they hust got fuck with an eu banker twat as their new leader.
Hes a rothchild what could go wrong

ehhh, I'd wait until the parliamentary elections before completely writing off france.

>wanting to throw small creatures
>Not playing a minotaur and throwing them like a football

Homebrew race from a homebrew Pathfinder setting one of my friends made. There were technically 5 seperate races, but you could easily treat them as one with 5 sub races. They were birdfolk, called only by the name of the type of bird they resembled. Not quite like kenku, they were humanoids with a few sparse patches of feathers, light builds, and a pair of functioning bird wings sprouting from their shoulders. There were swans, hawks, hummingbirds, and crows. Each got a fly speed, but hawks were fastest.

Mechanically they were powerful, but still fairly balanced. The fly speed advantage wasn't as big a deal when 7/10 NPCs can also fly, since these birdfolk made up a pretty big chunk of the setting's population.

He mind end up being qualified, we know that it's a big no-no for Trumpbuddies who thrive on incompetence.

>Assuming you could ever find a DM that doesn't whine minotaurs off the playable roster

On a related note, if I ever meet a DM who says no minotaurs and then allows with no racism towards them and half orcs with no one judging them for being half breeds, I will punch them.

Wait a tick, did the author of the Stinz comic have a hand in making this? Because there are a lot of similarities. Like, a LOT.

I think half-things are abominations. Either they're different species and therefore you can't make babies with they're not and then don't call them a different fucking race and why the fuck are you not playing a FULL orc instead.

You allow midgets whose biggest recongnizable feature is to have gross hairy feet and wear no shoes. How is that less silly than a cool ass mino.

Yes.

>we killed 10 of them for every 1 of us they killed, they could wait us out and win
You maybe would have a point if the war was the US vs Vietnam, when in actuality it was North Vietnam vs South Vietnam with the US helping on the side.

One of our players is that guy and he used to run games until we forced him out of it. His homebrew setting was a mix of Dark Souls and monstergirl anime tropes. The races in his magical realm were humans, not-dwarves, not-dragonborns, not-tieflings, and monstergirls. There was a fucking race of bee people. And he tried to have us fuck at least one in each campaign. But I'll emphasize the bee people part.

>Trumpbuddies
If you're looking for an insulting name for Trump supporters, look harder. That one is shit, plus it's clumsy on the tongue.

Also, Macron is a complete dumbass who has no clue how to fix France's problems, and that's WITHOUT touching on his corruption.

The war was ultimately "lost" due to a lack of political will on the part of the United States. Had Nixon stayed in, it would probably have reached a more decisive ending.

...

Unicorns are terrifying, but no one pays attention to the stories.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

>His homebrew setting was a mix of Dark Souls and monstergirl anime tropes

Mite b cute

>tfw I love bee and moth people

Sure, Ivan.

Yes, which is exactly why America got bored with it and went home.

Well, that and the Marxist infiltration of the colleges and media that happened after WW2 turned public opinion against opposing communists.

But they did win two world wars. They weren't the most decisive players, but they wrote the books on what happened. And we all know who writes history. Americans.

>Dictatorship red "Marxism" is communism
Fuck out, Putin

I just got the picture. If you look at the picnic basket of the one in the middle, you can see mushroom caps poking out of it.

Guys, they're mushroom hunting. For dicks.

The one the DM just made up for his girlfriend, a Lycan.

No, not a Lycanthrope. Not a werewolf. A lycan. I tuned out of the conversation after she said the word "Underworld".

She constantly makes mary-sue type characters.

It's all the same shit.
Marxism, Communism, Socialism.

They all claim to want to empower the worker... by removing all incentive to produce above other people.
And, it always ends the same way. The workers all in poverty, the elite living like the worst imaginable idea of the "robber baron" and the military somewhere in between to keep them from rising up against the owners of the country.

As the unicorn guy, let me tell you that the first time I played tabletop. it was 4e and the party was wiped by a dusk unicorn.

>Thinking that this whole website isn't just one big /pol/ colony since October

Bro, do you have the rest of this? I've wanted it ever since reading Mus of Kerbridge as a kid.

Please tell me he used the liquid projector skill for it.

Rakshasa are fucking awesome. I gave them an entire empire in my setting. Them, the drow, and the elves are the three most powerful factions in the world, not that most people would think that.

Whats wrong with acid trip/ magic mushroom senmurv again?
Who wouldn't want this painted on the so of their van..?

Case in point:
Not that he's wrong.

Did you fuck them?

"Losing" that war won us the Cold War.

Capitalism. Bitch.

Thank you sir. You're a gentleman and scholar whose kindness and generosity are probably only exceeded by his good looks.

Our fighter in a 13th age space setting is effectively a Maori street shark.

A tripedal critter with floppy ears, a flexible trunk, and antlers. He cried a lot because he was a sad creature. His name was Frondle.

>"Losing" that war won us the Cold War.
Not even close.
I know in retrospect the path history took seems like the only one it could of took but thats really not the case.
If you go back and read what people actually thought after the vietnam war and what people did after it you realize that america came seriously close to losing the cold war because of it.
Only the deft political maneuvering of nixon (whatever your opinion on watergate is) and the soviets making the same mistake in afghanistan during the 80's is what allowed america to come out on top.
So no losing vietnam did not help america win the cold war.
Not that winning would have helped either.

One of a line of cut-rate, killer constructs made of balsa wood with blades sticking out all over the place, because making them out of metal and giving it guns is expensive? A species of sentient floor tiles that consider people's feet delicacies?
