Talan Va'lash - 5/8/2006 4:15 PMJust to point out a trend, there's been a run on half-giant, drow, and tiefling characters in the last week or so. If lots of those subraces continue to be requested in a short period of time they will likely be put on hold for several months.
DeadHead Fred - 5/10/2006 5:34 PMSecond topic:I've had the same problems with running into, shall we say, characters who have a dubious look to them, and having others chide me for doubting their good intentions. If you see a goblin in the Wastelands, chances are you are shooting, stabbing, or spelling it, yet if you see one in Hlint (just a few yards away), suddenly he's ok? When I've questioned the presence of Drow, I am one of the few people doing so. I know that the players here are a tolerant, accepting lot, but our characters shouldn't necessarily be so. Besides, it certainly makes for more good RP opportunities.I have no problem with going around with a questionable character, but I'll RP something like that I'm keeping an eye on him. I may end up trusting him, but it'll take time. I suppose there are those characters who automatically trust everyone, but then why are they going around trusting this goblin, but killing that one?Think of it this way: if you ran into someone dressed as a Nazi stormtrooper, who told you he was a good guy and wanted to go to a synagogue and meet with the rabbi, would you automatically trust him and think his intentions were pure?DHF
I didnt realise this would be such a hot topic but it seems every time you mention drow things get a little heated, I dont know why.

It's because a lot of people play goody-goody drow and don't want to deal with the consequences of a race that is hated throughout the world "No, I'm good. Really" and then a lot of people say "Yeah, he is, there's always exceptions." Well, not that many with drow I could go on and on with a list of atrocities they committed the last 2000 years which every character should at least heard something about and hence make everyone mistrust them, but I won't Good luck with the bio though
