I can do you one better, fampai.

>short brown hair

If you’re a liberal then it’s the only thing that matters.

I dont allow negros in my games or in my home.

Really, he plays humans just because they tend to stay alive for more than one session.

>If someone decides to be a nation of dwarves, other players know how to deal with them.
Original Master of Orion gave its numerous races a strong tendency towards exhibiting certain personality traits, but they still were subject to RNG changes. Meklars, the cyborg race, tend to be isolated industrialists and extremely volatile diplomats, but this guy rolled Meklar that were actually heavily expansionist and sought out tech at all costs.

You could easily imagine Dwarves that *weren't* defined by greed and rigid hierarchy.

You'd have to be imagining it though because only human kingdoms have depth.

My current character is Italian so according to /pol/ that's not white.

Checkmate, atheists!

Depends on the setting. In Faerun, it probably doesn't matter at all unless you're a Drow. In 1920s New York it could matter quite a bit.

>You could easily imagine Dwarves that *weren't* defined by greed and rigid hierarchy.

Then you could easily use human society instead.

The main point of fantasy races is that they are a rigid one-dimensional stereotype, no ifs or buts. And because they're that, they're bland and boring.

>The main point of fantasy races is that they are a rigid one-dimensional stereotype, no ifs or buts. And because they're that, they're bland and boring.
Which is why TES has like 5 different elves and each setting has its own take on elves, which includes "elves as hopeless magic crack addicts", "elves as tree-huggers" and "elves as matriarchal feral warriors".

Fuck outta here with that shit.

Those literally aren't elves though. Those are Mer.

As I said, one-dimensional stereotypes.

Remember to sage and report /pol/ faggotry.

>white male people representation in fantasy games is high

has a lot to do with the demographics interested in the game imho

>Those literally aren’t elves though. Those are Asur, Druchii and Asrai

Because i'm not a fetish-fueled furry faggot.

>Assigning traits to an entire race/gender is bigoted

White men are bland by default and nothing can be done to make them interesting, even though they exist across all possible archetypes in the entirety of Western fiction

I don't know whether I should detest or pity progressives.

The number of minutes this thread remains alive is directly proportional to the number of cocks the jannies suck.

This shit just ain't popular in africa/asia
Wtf are you talking about about representation? there is zero neckbeards in D&D modules to begin with

>obviously a bait thread, so here's a real bait answer
I mean, I’m glad you’re changing up your pasta, but it’s still pretty rank, bro.

I prefer humans.

>White men are bland by default
he says, when white men have made modern society, contributed to every field of art and science and experienced every emotion that has ever existed
>RACISM !
I didn't say that this doesn't also apply to every other race you fucknugget. Saying that white men are boring is like saying that humans are boring. Considering that humans tought about and made every piece of culture that you cherish, do you see the hypocrisy that is blinding you ?

We agree, mate. I just forgot to put a meme arrow before the second greentext.

Because when I play a black guy I get accused of "blackfacing". I was accused of this on PSO2 for fuck's sake because I'm white but my character is black.

I like being the straightman to the other 4 special snowflakes in the party.

>straightman
I see what you did there.

I don't understand

This is why I liked the gay dwarf from dragon age 2

Why is that /pol/? Just annoying that people don't ever reach outside their comfort zone.

This is bait but you'll get a real answer:
I like playing a mundane, normal person in weird fantasy situations. Although I've actually mixed up my gender and skin color many times.
Best character was a flamboyant NOT-ARAB character.

>makes the same gruff human martial (likely fighter or paladin) with PTSD and survivor's guilt that a million guys have already made before
It still makes you ask questions: where did he fight before, what did give him PTSD, what companions he left behind, how he copes with that?

While all questions about your drunken greedy dwarf fighter could be answered as "it's a dwarf thing dude!"

That's kinda oversimplifying nonhuman characters, which is hilarious when you're annoyed by them oversimplifying human characters

I always play female characters because I like to paint sexy female figures and draw cool and cute girls.

I'm not annoyed, it is just that you can't justify something cause it is human thing, cause due to "diversity" there are none or to few "human" traits to build character on, forcing you to do go beyond species sterotype. You can say that it is nation thing but it boils to a problem where different species are different nations in fantasy.

My DM won't let me.

In reality, all you end-up doing is the same milktoast carboard cut-out over and over again

>Why is that /pol/?
Because OP is pretending to shriek about WHITE PEOPLE REEEE in the hopes that some applesponges will see the thread and take it upon themselves to continue shitposting about real-world social politics on Veeky Forums instead of the appropriate containment board.

then he is a faggot
get a new DM

Is it ok to lick a hobbits hairy feet

as long as you wash them first

>tfw about to play a Goblin Warlock

Its gonna be FUN!

>Mentioning skin colour.
Literally only time I've done this is describing goblins and orcs, who are a whole rainbow of fuckery.

Except you don't, you fucking idiot.
>M-Muh generic anime protagonist tho
They mostly tend to be HAREM protagonist. In the case of the far right a harem VISUAL NOVEL protagonist to boot. They look like generic Japanese men on purpose: they're supposed to be easy to self-insert into. For harem protagonists the rule is: the more generic, the better.

What you're doing here is just as dishonest as saying "French actors can't act" and using exclusively French porn as examples.

Bait

Mega-Bait

Race doesn’t make a character whether they’re human or whatever. Boring characters of all races exist. Moral of the story: there’s no bad races, only bad players(except kender, those are objectively bad).

>they're supposed to be easy to self-insert into
Which is exactly the issue with people who just play Human as a race in a fantasy RPG

It's a meme

Because every other race has certain specific classses accosiated with it because they are objectively better at those classes (wood elf rangers, halfling rogues, tiefling warlocks), while human can be good with any class. That said I do make and play non-human characters (5/9ish characters I've played were non-human)

I am a male, therefore I choose male, especially in a rpg where I am voicing the character. (Never played a female character, though I have played as female NPCs)

I don't always make them white, but I am white and therefore it's the default for me unless I am making a show of the character's skin color, or I find a really great picture. (1/4-ish humans I've played were non-white)

Also, yes, this is bait.

>pretending
I'm literally seething.

>while human can be good with any class
no
humans can be average with any class
the only class humans can be truly good at is the Rogue, if they use a feat to increase the skill-monkey aspect to the extreme

You got the meme wrong you retard

>Everyone who plays a human does it to self-insert

Attached: 1520177689417.png (703x491, 399K)

I have literally never played with someone who played their race as a stereotype. Of course they exist but they're not common let alone universal.

>I have literally never played with someone who played their race as a stereotype.

Don't worry about it. OP has literally never played with anyone.

Everyone who would not be able to play other races in an interesting manner

Drow are whites in black face, so it's double racist

how so?

Eh, they can still be good. +1 in primary ability and any feat of your choice makes it good at any class in my book. Maybe not optimal, but certainly still good.

The implication is that the other guy is seething, not you

This goi gets it.

>these models
It looks like something out of Might & Magic 6.

So that is why you are outside and not playing any games.

White human males are objectively the best people in the world in every respect.

You say white like it's a bad thing. Racist ass bitch.

Nothing new under the sun kiddo.

If I was a irl gay black female and made a black gay female character you wouldn’t say shit.

How about we simply create an interesting character on it's own and then, near the end before we buy equipment or similar, we slap a race paintjob on?

Instead of the nobles son you are the son of the warchief.
Instead of PTSD survivors guilt you try your best to get into worthy dwarven not!-valhalla.
Instead of a human outsider living with elves you are an elf living with humans.

now this isn't so hard, isn't it ?

It’s Palladium Fantasy rpg

I play humans because they get that bonus feat.

It's pure optimization.

Because the moment everyone starts being a "snowflake" by not taking a human white dude, being a human white dude starts being unique again.

>Every time I tried to make a non-human PC they died on their introduction session protecting the party.
I would make a non-human character, a dwarf, a lizardfolk, an orc, etc either as a backup character or to stand in for my fallen human (who I started the game with). The new non-human character would be introduced to the party by our commanding officer, and we would go on a quest. I would roleplay as my new character, but before I could really get into it we would end up in a really dangerous fight. I was often playing the party front line, so I would wade into melee to save our casters. Then I would end up dead when the cleric didn't position right, or because the paladin chased a retreating minion rather than helping me tank a boss, or a ton of gunners would blast me to bits when I jumped in front of our squishier characters. No matter what I did, my non-human character would die on the same quest that they were first introduced in, usually just past half way though the session.

>nation builder games
Every player creates a nation and picks a location on a map that the GM creates before hand. Each week the players make deals, declare wars, talk to minor NPC nations, request buildings/research/armies/magic from the GM in accordance with their current wealth and power, answer the worldbuilding question of the week, and shoot the shit in all-chat (which is usually a sort of fantasy UN). There's creative writing, conflict, backstabbing, and banter all around. Some of the most fun times I've ever had GMing was for a 14 player game last summer. Complete havoc, but loads of fun.

sounds like a GM problem tbhsmhfamalam
