You can tell what edition of DnD a person calls home by which race they vehemently hate

You can tell what edition of DnD a person calls home by which race they vehemently hate.

For instance, if you hate elves, your probably started with either AD&D and used kits (or play 5e, main martials, and are salty about all the love elf wizard has been getting).

Mad about Dragonborn? Probably play 3.P.
Gnomes? 4e is a good bet since they weren't even in the PHB thus would feel intrusive, but certainly no earlier than 3.0 because nothing prior suggested they were a "speak in funny voices and get away with lolrandumb for free" race just sort of the tricky, weaker but magical cousin to dwarves.
Tiefling, 4e. Prior to that they were random freaks just like aasimar instead of there being an entire society of "muh edgy hated by everybody," attracting all the players who used to insist on being "good guy drow."
Kender? Free space. In fact, if you don't hate them, you're probably Pathfinder or 5e and just started the hobby. Welcome, newfriend, don't play Kender.

I hate all of the above, but hate gnome the least.

But that doesn't make sense. 4e gnomes were fantastic specifically because they were given time and space to become their own thing. Publishing them later wasn't a sign of hating them, it was actually doing the justice for perhaps the first time. And I don't get your logic why 4e players would hate tieflings, either.

I don't hate any of them because I'm not a shitter.

I think that's a load of arbitrary opinions and intuitions that you've conjured into an unreliable prediction method.

Because there being an entire in-universe society of [insert problematic behavior I want to get away with/want to wallow in] makes a lot more of those players feel justified in their actions.

The only one I really hate is whichever one THAT GUY is currently playing. His most hated race is humans, BTW. Because he's a special snowflake and humans are just too boring, man.

I want to argue but I started with pathfinder and do hate dragonborns :\

Tabaxi is quickly becoming THE 5e race to hate.
And from what I've heard, Kitsune is the one to hate if you like Pathfinder, but I believe that was localized to /PGG/ because of the one guy who does the threads.

>Tabaxi is quickly becoming THE 5e race to hate
Never seen anyone play it.

That's true there's really only ever three kinds of people that play humans. Anti-xeno fags, muchkins, and people that don't have a compulsive need to be snowflakes.

I thought /pfg/ LOVED kitsune. It's the thing everybody makes fun of them for. That said, I've seen the system wank for it. so I can't blame them it's the same as the 2e elf situation.

As for Tabaxi, it's just that one same fag pitching a fit over and over that anyone ever has played a race with fur on it. Aside from maybe doing something silly with an infiltrating striker like monk or rogue and that sprint ability I don't think there's a single thing you could do stupid with them.
Maybe it's RP, like the obsession/short attention span cycle thing? Seem fine enough in a party setting. Point them at a task, they'll doggedly solve it, then make sure they're not holding the pursestrings on the reward because bribing for info on the next job is more interesting than an inert and mundane full bag of gold. But like, at least they do understand that money has value, they just generally value wealth retention less than new experiences. Lizardfolk, unless they've been living among other humanoids, likely have no concept of currency other than edibles. Their entire culture is basically centered and exclusive to edibility and hyper-pragmatic survival, to which gold coins have no direct applicability. But I've seen nothing but gushing admiration for them. So I'm just gonna blame the samefag.

This is your home.

There he is. How you doin' tonight virulently anti-furred demihuman shitpostanon?

No, we hate that fucker who keeps spamming kitsune pics. We just can't do anything about it.

if he's avatarfagging that's a bannable offense.
if he's imagedumping just to disrupt the thread that's also bannable.

>You can tell what edition of DnD a person calls home by which race they vehemently hate.

I hate blacks , what edition of D&D did I start with?

I don't hate fantasy races. Maybe kender,
but they're just a bad idea all around to include.

MYFAROG or FATAL

Oddly, I like 5e but started in 3e. I hate gnomes so goddamn much.

Well, I hate halflings. What edition did I start with?

>As for Tabaxi, it's just that one same fag pitching a fit over and over
Such is life. I personally like them. They're mechanically interesting.

according to his post 4e, but pathfinder or 5e is also possible.

But tiefling in 4e are actually interesting?
I give you gnomes though. Coming out in PH2 helped them but they are still mostly little shits.

What is the reason for tabaxi hate? Is it just because furries? I mean, cat people seem pretty standard as a trope to me, and still better than "I speak meme" kenkus.

My hatreds are furry and grounded outside of dnd. Get on my level

...

do you hate all animals, like some kind of twisted anti-druid or just the anthropomoprhic kind?

At least they were given an excuse for being little shits. Being caught in a war between fomorians and the eladrin does that to you.

Tabaxi means one of two things.

Hardcore fursuit fur-faggotry
or
Anime cat girl

There is no in-between for Tabaxi players, ever.

What edition do I play if I hate filthy xenos scum?

Oh. WH40k. Forgot.

Because introducing any one beast race basically opens the floodgates for justifications for 9001 other beast races, and soon your setting is a Zootopia cluster-fuck where everyone in the world is just "Human but with X cute animal trait".

sometimes you just want to be a literal cat burglar user.

Are you not the DM?
Are you not in control of your game?

Or do you mean, WotC will fill the game with animal people?

Same

Daily reminder that 3.5 ended up with 20 different furry races, including yaks, orcas and rats.

A bit of both. Pathfinder was FLOODED with furfag races towards the end. And while you as DM are in control of your setting, yes, it becomes alot harder from a world-building standpoint to justify one beast race existing and then come up with excuses for why such a thing has never happened with any other animal-hybrids. If a wizard can magically fuse a tiger soul and a human soul, why can't they fuse a wolf soul and a human soul, or a bear soul and a human soul, or a lion soul and a human soul, ect.

This I why I like Eberron Shifters. 9001 beast races? Nope just one, all your Noah's ark shenanigans all fit under one umbrella, with stats applied in wide stokes.
Quick herbivore? Longstrider.
Armored herbivore? Beasthide.
Climbing herbivore? Cliffwalk.
Talon predator? Razorclaw.
Bite predator? Longtooth.
Persistence hunter/Scavenger? Wildhunt.

Bonus, they're not actual furries but partial lycanthropes.

ECL was a mistake.

>towards the end.
isn't PF still going?

They are sorta furry even in their unshifted form. At least that's how I remember the art being.

As much as people hate to admit it, yes.

Still sounds like a bunch of humans with shitty animal parts stapled on. Making them easy to stat doesn't really change the snowflake or cringe factors.

I hate all non-human races.

Gnomes. Never even played 4e although I wouldn't have minded the chance. I swear to god though I hate everything about gnomes with a passion. I don't even know why. Last time I ran a game the party came across some friendly gnomes who were in the process of looting the dungeon they were about to raid. They murdered every single one to a man. I wasn't even mad. I even gave them all names. I fucking hate beast races and dragonborns and tieflings and shit but I can tolerate them, but I can't suffer gnome to live.

I used to hate elves until I deliberately ran a game with a party of only elf PCs to forcibly cure myself of it, and I did start with AD&D. Well done.

They're literally autistic and that's annoying.

user, this is nu/tg/pol/. You can't fucking get banned for anything short of porn or saying a mod did something wrong - or complaining about /pol/ shit.

i don't think there's a problem with the races but rather the people who play them

also what's wrong with beast races? we need more monstrous races

This.

I remember when a DM in one of my first game tried to make the orcafolk a sympathetic oppressed minority and how butthurt he got when we were just impressed the town guard was hard enough to fuck up orcafolk.

The point isn't that they are easy to stat, it's that they are a single race instead of being 20 zillion different species.

The thing that's "wrong" with including tons of furry and beast races is that having a ton of races in general just leads to a big sludge of a setting where nothing really stands out or means anything. When everyone's a special snowflake, nobody is. It's just a wankers jerking off over how "unique" they are instead of making characters who are actually interesting or compelling. A good roleplayer can do this even if they're playing a race as "boring" as bog-standard human, except a setting built this way will be way more consistent and less randumb.

You can get banned for posting a screencap proving that MtG-playing SJWs from R*ddit are coming here to shill and organize raids against /pol/ and /k/. Why do you think we had that spate of MUH JEREMY threads? R*ddit cares a lot more about retarded e-celebs than we do.

Then you are probably a hater. And a gnome.

Getting banned for complaining about /pol/ would be a great thing.

>If a wizard can magically fuse a tiger soul and a human soul, why can't they fuse a wolf soul Ba human soul, or a bear soul and a human soul, or a lion soul and a human soul, ect.
n
They didn't, a Rakshasha did. Happened with Baphomet and his Goristro to make minotaurs too. That's why they're evil races.
Meanwhile gods made their share of demihuman races (that are predominantly their own alignment) like Zehir and Yaun-Ti. Lolth and Driders. Dragonborn had Io. Goblinoids had Maglubiyet, Kobolds had Kurtulmak, etc.

There's no dog/cat/fox-aligned god to make major humanoid races with their traits, no are their ambitious cat/dog/fox demons to shape new mortals from their patron animals in mockery of the gods because those are good animals.
No god to make them, no demon to make them, unless it's something stupid like they spontaneously arose (looking at you Elder Scrolls) then there's no reason for common flavorbreaking beast races to be in there. No Tabaxi, No Kenku, etc. etc. An official appropriate creator being does not exist.

"I grow claws when I'm mad" so cringey. It's not like we haven't had 10 something wolverine centric movies because people really like that idea. Plus it means you can have a wide variety of beasts available for those who think it's neat without dealing with a gorillion different cultures, nearly all of them default lore some kind of problem causing snowflake. Instead they're all one race, so if you fix one, say "they're Scandinavian barbarian tribes that live in the north and at a coming of age ceremony bond with their spirit guardian animal (like say, Guild Wars's Norn?) to take on aspects of its form in battle" then suddenly they're completely fixed, and you have beastfolk options in your DnD game while also denying furries their beloved nowflake fur races because it's actually just spirit bonded normal humans.

The one I can remember is the one that looked like Mel Gibson with boobs and sideburns. And excessive (for a female, but not impossible for a human) body hair.

do these races have not have unique backstories/lore to them? i like playing beastraces so much because you can get away with so much heinous shit than if you were a "civilized" race like a human, elf, a dwarf for example

>lizardfolk just bit a guy's face off? it's just what they do :^)
>orc accidentally crippled a guy in a barfight? he's just an orc he didn't know better

...

No we don't, and furries can go to hell.

>he doesn't want to play a mindflayer
get a load of this guy

>"Teehee, murdering people in the streets is perfectly acceptable and funny because I didn't grow up around civilization, lol."

You are That Guy. Please quit the hobby.

If you wanted a races you hate thread all you had to do was ask.

>wtf dont play these monster races and their culture straight

You're That Guy.

>my snowflake race lets me get away with being an edgelord

Not only that, you're a stupid That Guy

>my snowflake race lets me be an Edgelord and the guards won't punish me because clearly fantasy settings have SJWs to enforce "increased tolerance of diverse races who dindu nuffin".

If you can't see why these are a poor choice for a playable character, I'm not sure what to tell you.

I don't. Mind flayers are for killing, I wouldn't enjoy playing a PC who constantly has "backstab the party and eat their brains" second on his To-Do list.

>wtf DM don't play the human town guards' reaction to monster races and their culture straight
>wtf why are adventuring parties treating me as a bag of exp!?

>If playing these races straight means being a shitter who's actively going to make the game less enjoyable for everyone involved, then yeah, I'm not going to play them straight... or even play them at all.

so... you're those minority members that go out of your way to make sure /pol/ still has a feeble leg to stand on?

Yeah, definitely the kind of guy I want to hang out with and invite to the gaming table to waste my very vauable and ever-draining freetime with.

Just because they are stupid enough to do that shit doesn't mean they'll get away with it.

>lizardfolk just bit a guy's face off? It's a monster, put it down.
>Orc accidentaly crippled a guy in a barfight? How did it get into the bar in instead of being turned into arrow pincushion at the gate? Time to remedy that error...

The idea that /pol/ has a coherent ideology beyond shitposting is laughable. Their reason to exist seems to be to tempt trained, paid, social media engineers and e-activists onto /pol/ so they can hoot and throw feces at them.

>straight
Asolutely not. The shardminds must be LESBIAN non-reproductive rocks.

that's a lot of buzzwords

i don't play with people who play dnd as a means to get off, so, no

hi ka

with your attitude i'm surprised you have people to invite at all

>that's a lot of buzzwords
For you

I hate elves but I never player DnD.
I hate elves because they are pretentious faggots who can't take a hit without breaking in half and have faces like arrows

>lesbian

Lesbian PCs are cancer.

>. Their reason to exist seems to be to tempt trained, paid, social media engineers and e-activists onto /pol/ so they can hoot and throw feces at them.

Like those guys in Russia the GOP keeps hiring?

I'll just reply for myself and everyone else to save them time and effort.

All of those buzzwords are accurate to the first point, your second response makes no sense, who the fuck is ka, and denying shitters access to one's table is the right attitude for a DM to have.

You still haven't explained why being a monster gives you a pass on being a murderous edgelord.

>with your attitude i'm surprised you have people to invite at all
My attitude of "be a decent human(oid) being, or else be treated like the dangerous animal you're behaving as, because as long as you're not in control of yourself you effectively are?"

seems pretty reasonable to me.

>spirit bonded normal humans.
This is the correct way to do it. Or David Gemmel Style Joinings. Nothing like a bit of personal existential horror for a character.

But I want to have my waifu and be one too. Is that so wrong user?

>he doesn't know who Ka is

Wasn't it Fusion GPS, Hillary Clinton's people, who hired the Russians? I seem to recall they were the only ones who've been found colluding at all.

By the way, Julian Assange is a hero for exposing what a two-faced cunt Clinton was and the butthurt of her shrieking acolytes will entertain me for decades to come. I will tell my grandchildren about it as we celebrate the ascension of Barron Trump to the position of Galactic Overlord.

Yes it is. Keep your dick in your pants, playing a waifu means your character won't usually have sufficient flaws and exists purely for tittilation rather than as a character in her own right. Thanks for confirming lesbian PCs are all about the magical realm bullshit though.

>caring about anyone with a name
>on Veeky Forums

What think you of Golden Compass style, but instead of your familiar eventually settling into a specific animal it's always been a specific animal and after a while you just merge, and now you've got an intelligent animal in your head as much in control of your shared body as you are, but in the process you gain related phyical abilities?

it's their culture of course

and if it fits with the rest of the party and tone of the campaign why not?

>posts inferior shitrocks

>arguing with an obvious joke meant to agree with you through means of invoking sarcastic rhetorical question

Wow you really are riled up aren't you, boy.

It being "their culture" does not give them a pass on that behavior outside their own civilizations. If a lizardman bites a human's face off outside of a lizardman village, he'll get treated like any other monster, and orcs are generally kill on sight for most other humanoid races with an average Int of 10 or more.

>Heh, kid...I was only pretending to be retarded

I'll gree she's a snake and I'm glad she didn't win, but as for the fact murder, not this time /pol/..

It's pretty clear who's in cahoots with who.

ka was some casual from the 5eg discord who got memed off the server for not liking furry races, and magic, and lots of things that are part of DnD in general. Also posted alot of dungeon meshi reaction pics so the people there think anyone else who does it is the same person.

TL;DR, retarded discord drama. This is why generals and discords for Veeky Forums boards are cancer.

sure but do you think your party would give a shit if you feasted on the carcass of whatever humanoid or group of humanoids that made attempts on all of your lives

>wired
>the daily beast
>credible news sources

Top fucking kek. Liberals claim anyone they don't like is a Russian bot. /pol/'s dumb memes probably impacted the election more than the less than a million dollars the Russkies spent trolling both sides and CERTAINLY less than AIPAC's contributions.

literal who?

guy, it's really aparent satire. the "is that so wrong" is impyling an "of course it is thats just common sense" through use of dramatic irony.
He's not pretnding to be retarded you're just so buttflustered it went over your head.

Gnomes, because I have no idea what to do them in my setting because their entire shtick is "We're knockoff halflings/dwarves and we play jokes and pranks on each other!" Their 4e lore is OK but I just think "too little, too late."

I hate Tieflings because just by their very concept naturally attracts the edge crowd . I still remember my GM's face when I told him I wanted to play a LG Oath of Ancients Paladin for 5e, he was shocked. He loved it as I told him I wanted to play a chill as hell, down to earth Paladin. We didn't get to play much as the some of the other players had other commitments.

Fuck Kender. If I actually get a player that wants to play a Kender and he turns out to be a That Guy, I will kill his character and maybe skull-fuck his character's corpse depending on how bad they fuck up.

Elves are a mixed bag to me. I tend to like players who don't glorify elves because in my experience they tend to play elves the best.

Half-elves are the best, especially the ones that are burnt off of elven culture.

Try to say that in a non-retarded way. I'm going to assume you mean "why would the party care about the PC's behavior", and the answers are twofold. First, maybe they aren't edgelords. Second, because the local authorities definitely would care. At first I thought maybe you were just memeing, but you have that characteristic "wait why is my abhorrent behavior bad!?" attitude of a chronic That Guy.

So it's a good thing I don't know who that is, got it.

>chased off the server for not liking furries

Truly discord is cancer.

>Heh...I'll pretend to be a concerned third party so nobody realizes I wasn't just pretending to be retarded...........................................kiddo.

would horses' mouth interviews convince you any better?
