Well speaking of Dwarves, yesterday, I looked at the new Player's Handbook for D&D. I cannot say I'm impressed. Now the Alignments are Lawful Good, Good, "Unaligned", Evil and Chaotic Evil. I mean, why even bother having alignments if your going to drop half of them, and leave the ones that are completly unrelated to oneanother. Lame. Also, the planes of existance are screwed up, and every character and monster that was previously "good" is now "unaligned". All the cool stuff from 3rd has been taken out: the sorceror, druid, barbarian, bard, and monk classes, half orcs, prestige classses, and multiclassing. The books now cost $35 each. :mad::mad::mad:
I could go on... but I'm sure Sakura is going to rip me a new one anyway.

:symrw::symrw::symrw::symrw::symrw::symrw: SPIKE GAYMER: not just a beatdown, a beatdown sung to the tune of "I Feel Pretty"!
Stupid moving into apartment crap. Kept me out of work for three days.
BUT. I live in the nerdiest apartment in Auburn, I swear to the Jade Emperor and his court.
We play RPGs, both console and pen-and-paper, Magic, Versus System (I got League of Assassins! RAS AL G'HUL! YEAH!), Pokemon, Legend of the Five Rings, all manner of fighting games (My roommate Bryan has me hooked on Def Jam: Fight for New York).
There was an article on why they streamlined the Alignments, and it makes perfect sense. The Druid, Barbarian, Monk and Bard are planned for later books. Prestige classes and Multiclassing are still there. Prestige classes are more along the lines of Paragons, there is also a plan of having more Core classes to represent what were once Prestige classes in some cases. Multiclassing now is done at level ten. This gurantees people don't min/max class features to create God characters. There is more flexibility within each class itself and more core classes with mixes of abilities to choose from, so Multiclassing is is less crucial at early levels. The levelling is changed anyways. Level one plays like old level 5, level 20 is closer to old level 15. So Multiclassing and Prestige Classing (Paragon) at Level 10 is not so big a deal.
And a price increase is kinda expected, things do get more expected.
You don't have to like it and you don't have to play it. I can understand your complaints, but some of them are unfounded (missing races and classes, prestige classes, multiclassing) because they are there.
That's fine. Not saying you have to make jokes, just that you can. I give you guys permission to make fun of me.
I only made the joke because you gave me the opening. Life is serious business and all but not all the time. Dwarves, gays, transwomen, and everyone else have to be able to laugh at themselves. If I got mad every time someone made a fat or black joke I'd be mad alot.
Sure, fine. But at least make it someone arguably attractive like Sean Connery or Robert Wagner.
Remember that my last serious BF was 47, but not hot in the Sean Connery or Robert Wagner kinda way. More like in the 16 year old without boundries kinda way.
And for the record I'm don't think of, nor am I convinced Howler is dwarf. I have always thought of him as simply a short guy. Which by my definition means hot.
and why have I not been mocked out of love and affection? I demand mockery!
Lastly for the record the new D&D set is absolutely incredible... from a DM stand point (yes I like control even in my games). I've not seen any system with more balance from a story telling stand point.
I know someone who professes to be deeply afraid of dwarfs and small people. She uses the M word, but I'll forgo that because I dunno how sensitive it is.
I find it strange. She says that just gets nervous with a small person moving around in the same space as her. It was one of those moments where you just don't know how you could respond, let alone should. I paused for a minute and stammered, "Uh . . . wha? You do realize that they're not like really smart kids, right?"
Some people have weird issues with dwarfs. While I can understand that whole fear of those who are different, you'd think that they could adapt.

All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the light that you see. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.

You made a good call. I'd strongly advise against using that term, even in proper circumstances. I've used it, but never in reference to a Dwarf.

I've dealt with people like that at work (customers, thankfully not coworkers). There's a lady that used to come in every Tuesday morning to pick up the new releases, and she always seemed a bit tense when talking to me. One week, she stopped coming in. Then I picked up a shift one Tuesday night, and she came in. I recognized her, but she acted like she didn't remember me. After she left, my coworker told me she'd told him she stopped going in the mornings because I made her uncomfortable.
I mostly get that kind of reaction from women, but I'd guess female Dwarfs get that mostly from men. I understand that reaction at first, but she'd been coming in for months, and still had trouble having a conversation with me. She would almost visably cringe whenever I'd climb the stepladder to reach my register. Very nice lady, but she had serious issues...
Now I have to be an Unaligned Halfling. And Halflings are NOWHERE near as cool as Gnomes and Dwarves.
I should just go back to playing my Oriental Adventures character, or my Half Celestial Sorcerer who knows more spells at level one than most level two sorcerers.
Gnomes will be around. They are not a player race, but I believe they are in the Monster Manual, if not they will be printed soon. There will be easy rules for playing them, it has been stated as such. Sorcerers will be around soon as well.
Unaligned is basically all Neutral alignments rolled together. An Unaligned Gnome Sorcerer can easily be played the same as you would play the Chaotic Neutral one.
Sad news, due to an idiot spamming porn everywhere, I had to set my forum all to private for now. I cant keep wading through Porn here at work.
edit: I am gonna put it back up now...i have not seen any guests lurking or anything and I managed to delete his posts. Luckily his latest choice of spam is linked somewhere my work blocks anyways, so i was able to delete them. He seemed to indicate "i made my point", so we will see.

That's like saying "I don't think of him as black; I just think of him as someone with really, really, dark skin." They're one in the same.
I will make you regret those words...
The saying is "famous last words," yes?
