There is no reason to play anything other than human in fantasy games.
>>55000823
>no reason
But what if I want to play an elf for fun? Checkmate bait man
Doing something intentionally 'subversive' to the tropes of a genre does not make you intelligent or creative.
>>55000850
>for fun
for fetish, you mean.
>>55000872
Obviously.
>>55000887
People who go to the table to wank are the lowest kind of scum.
Therefore, anyone who plays subhumans is subhuman.
>>55000823
"There are no humans at all in this fantasy setting"
>>55000872
>fetish
I mean, I can easily fetishize a human character too. But I guess since this a bait thread that's a moot point, so all I can say is "Fuk u fggt"
There was no reason to make this thread.
To this day I have no idea what autism commands anon to link this to real life, historical crusaders. Never got a good answer.
>>55000958
something, something human supremacy I imagine.
>>55000823
Nobody will miss you when you die. Here's your (You) as a matter of pity, though.
>>55000872
Yeah, playing woodsman commando is my fetish.
>>55000823
Next time, how about producing some quality content, faggot.
>>55000966
But that's a human beating other humans.I know you /pol/, you will say that the other one is a subhumanStill doesn't have anything to do with fanatsyPlease gyus learn to sage
>>55000988
I think the idea being that crusaders were used to cleanse holy lands of people with different ideologies and races, so it's applicable here.>implying I'm not sageing every time I post
>>55000925
Then it's a shit setting.
Because sometimes its fun to play as something you're not familiar with.
>>55001051Posting an image still bumps the thread, even if you do, newfag.
>>55000911
At least they have reason to do so. So OP statement is false.
>>55001079
>humans but with pointy ears
>humans but with beards
>covered in fur but essentially humans
>>55001105
Bad reason is not a proper reason.
>>55001051
But the crusaders also killed christians and allowed muslims and jews to live relatively peaceful in their lands, once they conquered it. It's almost like the situation was somewhat more complicated and nuanced. Also that doesn't mean that once you play a human you automatically start killing all other races, which in most settings we play around here is usually a bad idea.
>>55001096
Please, nobody believes your lies.
>>55001119
Reason is a reason, no matter what you subjectively think. OP stays false.
>>55001132
Belief literally doesn't factor into something you can test for yourself right now. Stop being a retard.
>>55001132

pick one man. we both know that op and his ilk are retarded and know jack and shit about actual history.

Come on m8.
>>55001153
I dunno, thread hasn't been bumped yet despite all the shitposting and discussion, so I think you're in the wrong here.
>>55001132
>once you play a human you automatically start killing all other races
I actually like this.
>>55001153
But I did, I tested it with that pic. Stayed on page 3. And I saged while dumping a shit ton of pics before in other threads. Anons recognized this thread as a shit thread and it will be saged.

There is no reason to play fantasy games.
>>55001063
You forget that humans are quite squishy compared to say beastmen and orcs, stupider then elfs and kobolds and it so happen said kobolds can easily replace human in pretty much every way (As they have all the strengths of fantasy humans turned up to 13)
>>55001247
>stupider then elfs and kobolds
>kobolds
I've always been of the opinion that if you need to be some exotic race in order to roleplay a compelling character, then you can't really roleplay. I've got nothing against players that want to play elves, dwarves, whatever, but if you expect me to approve some bullshit third party race for your 'character concept' to work you can fuck right off.
>>55000823

>>55000823
Sure.
There's also no objective reason TO play as a human, though. So you may as well do what you want.
>>55000823
What about the racial stat bonuses?
>>55001279
This, but spread to dwarves and elves too.
>human with a sword

Oh wow, such compelling characters.

You are a blight upon this hobby and i sincerely hope you kill yourself.

Because how else am I going to play as a Robot?

FTFY.
I half agree, there's no reason to not play a human if you're only allowing "classic" core races that are all basically humans anyway. Shit like Elves, Gnomes, Halfings, Dwarves, and Half-Orcs add nothing to the game world in my opinion.
Especially gnomes and Halfings who are both the same fucking things with different stats.
>Quirky short humans.
>Quirky short humans that sometimes have eating disorders.
I don't want to have "different race" just by adding "short human" "knife ear human" "human with a bird/dragon/fish head", I want something with real different bio, mindset and culture, so I tried to make some more alien race,
but they are too alien to be player race, so I end up created a human-only campaign.
I know I am wrong but how should I fix it?
I want Marche to leave.
>>55000823
Amen, Brother!
>>55005538
HIDE YOUR ELVES AND HORSES MORTALS, FOR THEY WILL SOON WALK THIS LAND AS ONE!
>>55000823
Or you can play a game with actually interesting races.
