Why have Tolkien, or at least Tolkien-inspired conceptions of certain fantastical races like Elves and Orcs become mainstream, but not other Tolkien conceptions of things like Vampires and Werewolves, which are present in the legendarium but bear no resemblance to he popular conception of either?

Because only the good Tolkien's books went mainstream. Nobody give two tugs of dead dog's rotten cock about legendarium or silmarililililion.

Because those books were released 20 years later.
Silmarillion is like a bunch of synopses of a bunch of stories.
It outs off a bunch of people.
The story about vampires and werewolves is being released, in its completion, next year. Bit hard for it to go back in time and set the archetype.

Hi /tg/ I have made a Vampire Counts random creation table for shit and giggles. And I would like to see if we can come up with something cool/stuipid. And if the creation tables should be improved.
Do you want to roll first and then see the table or should I post the table and then the roll will be made.

Can we start calling these guys marines? They are everything a marine is supposed to be. Can't wait for their assaulters and terminators.
In a couple years a ''primaris'' marine will only be identified by a special helmet or something, screencap this.

Because playing a tiefling is like playing an aasimir and is asking for sue shennaningans

>Starfinder
>Only four male deities revealed so far; one evil deity, one "trapped in the past" deity, one aggressive Conqueror deity and one asshole money-grubbing deity. Three Neutrals, one Evil
>Numerous female deities with many of them being Good, from the Goddess of First Contact to the Goddess of Good to the Goddess of Righteous Rule. Only one or two evils out of 10 deities.

Because people think all tieflings have huge dicks and ignore everything else about the character. Even the girls.ESPECIALLY the girls, apparently.

Are there any RPG systems where the players are specifically told *not* to read part of the rulebook?
I've always liked the idea of an RPG where the PCs are learning magic, and the players don't actually know exactly how magic works until their characters acquire those abilities.
But I'm also interested in any other system with explicitly "secret" information.
