Just look at those lunges!JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290828421410624791.post-48361750794220968392020-04-28T11:07:56.853-05:002020-04-28T11:07:56.853-05:00This one is really for that part of me that wants ...This one is really for that part of me that wants to play the Halfling fighter on Jeff Dee's cover of T1: the Village of Hommlet. Without the above take I don't think I could ever bring myself to get over the whole Hobbit thing...<br /><br />For myself, I have always been of the opinion that half-elves and half-orcs can pass as humans. Thus, from a particular POV, they are actually not "demi-humans." Rather, they are humans with unusual backgrounds.FrDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459281821319914530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290828421410624791.post-53850466425410198842020-04-28T09:27:02.220-05:002020-04-28T09:27:02.220-05:00You know, when I was looking at running an AD&...You know, when I was looking at running an AD&D campaign (a few months back), I had the thought of re-skinning gnomes as the descendants of dwarf-halfling pairings. This was not based on any particular lore, just the thought that there was some middle space between the idyllic space between dwarves and halflings that gnomes could easily seem to occupy. <br /><br />At the moment, however, I feel that I want fewer experiments in cross-breeding species. I'm allowing half-elves only because of how I'm defining elves.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.com
