Stop making the same thread over and over.

Sure, as long as you let me homebrew it for the campaign.

>Yes, no problem
Any non-autist ever.
But i'm sure you don`t understand what people socially functional does when they want to play a social and cooperative game

This is the kind of thing banning quests and /wst/ and CYOAs is supposed to stop! Worked SO WELL, didn't it!

>Sure, use X racial stats.
>Sorry, Y doesn't fit the campaign concept, how about Z?
>Not as is, but i can hammer something out.

depends on the setting

>"I prefer a deep and complex plot that will suck the fun out of our runs."

If it's in the core rulebook, the answer is always yes. If it's ever no to something in the core rulebook, that means I won't run that system.

If it was officially published outside of the core rulebook, the answer is probably yes.

If it's third party/houseruled, the answer is probably no.

>NO ITS ALREADY MADE PERFECTLY

Yes. I don't even care if you're [incredibly generic example of race, such as Urist McDwarf or Leggylass Elfington]. Just mix it up a little instead of playing the same faceless human warrior with no opinions on anything/meek scholar who will never participate in dialogue.

I dunno, I've only seen one or two bait threads clogging up the place

>My rogue is honorable and only steals from those who deserve it.

>my rogue is a member of the thieves guild
>the yearly crime rate is arranged between the guild and the patrician
>I can only steal/murder/smuggle a given amount per session
>if you have paid your insurance fee you are exempt from crime
>if a rogue or other person is not a member of the guild and commits a crime I am obligated to murder them horribly
>if my party has purchased my services I must not commit a crime on their person or the guild will hear of it and I will be murdered horribly

>Picks human
>Literally just plays as themselves

>>Picks non-human
>>Literally just plays as themselves but with pointy ears, green skin, short, tall, scales, fangs, wings; delete as appropriate

fuck you I'll be a dinosaur if I want

>Can I be a [insert boring oatmeal race here]?

No, Bill, you can't be "Bill the Human Fighter" or "Bill the Human Mage" again, do something that's not a cheap excuse to play "Bill from Accounting" with a six pack

>arranging crime rates with the patricians
>not arranging the crime rates with the poor of the city and generally sticking to targeting corrupt guards and the patricians

Stop it with your faggotry, all boards have bait threads and this place is better since they banned quests.

>tfw OP projects his autism on everyone

The classic races are:
Human
Human with pointy ears
Short human with beard
Short human without beard

Then we have the classic half-races.
Pretty human
Ugly human

After that we tread into star trek land.
Human with weird head, horns, fur, wings, 7 fingers per hand etc (several types)

And of course other types
Human cosplaying as a giant ant
Human cosplaying as a giant cricket
Etc.

All of the above are just human. I never get players who want to play an actual other species, like a swarm of bees or a sentient rock. I would actually welcome someone trying to play a half sperm whale/half house cat. But that never happens.

Yes? But I need a page on how you race fits in the setting for the day before game night, ok?

I like your filename.

I smile every time I see that sticky

>breaking your deal with the Patrician and the other guilds
>not finding yourself suspended head first in a scorpion pit
Good luck with that user

>plays a good teifling/drow orphan looking for his lost true love.

Can I be the mighty megalosaurus?

Someone didn't read the Pratchetts.

>implying the Patricians can do anything without the support of the masses
It's like you haven't read Discourse on Livy

>not using diplomacy and bluff to convince the proletariate to rise up
>not becoming the Secretary General of your socialist union
>not redistributing all the money as you see fit
>not stealing the entire nations wealth and culture under the guise of progress

Its like people arent trying

>Implying the Patrician didn't get the support of the masses by making the city fucking work for the first time basically ever.

>Everyone in the party plays a special snowflake race
>No one is over the top obnoxious
>Both PCs and NPCs acknowledge what a wierd fucked up group of misfits we are, and plot hooks/conflicts/banter blossom from it.

It can be fun with the right group.

I will play as an illithid if the DM allows it, fuck you, illithids are interesting.

Don't even pretend that quest threads were better than this.

>This is the kind of thing banning quests and /wst/ and CYOAs is supposed to stop!
No, it didn't. Banning quests and CYOA was for the purpose of stopping quests and CHYOA threads.

>2015+2
>year of our lord
>Still using creativity in a game of pretend
ishygddt

Every setting should be HFY.

>Hey man, new to 5e and heard you were looking for players. did some light reading and googling some race options. Can I join?
>Sure can! What do you feel like making?
