Go To


A short circle of hell.

Well this is a short one! YAYY!!

Racial Hatred Yes, there are rules for racism in this game. The book gives us a rather large table showing the relations of various races. It rates these relations on a scale from 1-5. Basically, 1 means they're best friends. 5 means they'll pretty much kill each other on sight. (Blood for the blood god?)

There's a lot of 5s on this chart. Kinda justified, since a lot of the races are things like trolls, ogres, and bugbears. Still, people generally hate anybody that's not their own race. Humans get along with elves and dwarves, though. (Ah LOTR. Can I go back?)

Racial Slurs

You've got to give it to these guys- they're through. A bit too thorough. They have a short list of racial slurs. Here's some of the funnier ones.

  • Human women call male anakim Skinloaf or Stovepiper(due to their Manhood) ((I'm going to cry.))
  • Humans call Bugbears Buggers. (Can I go back to Enders Game?)
  • Kobolds call dwarves Fatties. (Que?)
  • Ogres call humans Ribbers. (Human ribs taste so good.) ((Heh.))

Gender Aaaaaand... sexism! They openly state that women are cowardly, and always need a MAN in their life. (Fuck. This.) Not in those exact words, but pretty much. They excuse this by saying that this is all based on Aristotle's teachings since they were popular in the middle ages. (No. Does not work. Wrong.) To give them credit, they say there Aristotle's statements are generalizations and do not hold true for all characters. Then again, they say this is the exception to the rule.

Men and women get equal and opposite bonuses, though. For example, men get +5% Physique: Strength, while women get -5%. (No comment.) Conversely, women get +5% Wisdom: Intuition while men get -5%. (Your so-called wife made you write that Brian?)

Sorry guys, but it's bed time for me. I'm on page 37 right now. This isn't so much for your benefit as it is mine- I might forget where I am. So yeah. G'night! (Yeah exhaustion! You spared me pain.)

Anyone want to bet the next one is painful?

So glad that this is being reposted.

Can't wait for the point where REALISM becomes a meme. I loved those posts.
