No Bud, IF EVERY high-fantasy setting went this way we wouldn't be having this discussion full stop. We clearly have different sources for our imagination. (definitive proof that this comment is false)
I disagree, but I'm not going to debate it because the details change drastically from source to source. bottom line for me is
I see
- Dwarfs as tending to be Dour, stubborn, Anti-Magic,
While - Gnomes tend to be Hyperactive, Mercurial and highly focused in the Arcane.
I couldn't disagree more, occasionally you get a goblin character who is a wacky inventor but that is not representative of the race, comparing Gnomes and Goblins is like comparing
- a group of Drunk Football fans who are rioting because their team lost
to a - Think-tank of scientists working on some world changing project.
You've not only have the wrong end of the stick, but you got the wrong stick.
I never claimed Swamp elves weren't Elves, not sure why you are arguing like I did. And NO I don't think Swamp Elves are the elven equivalent of Halflings.
Halfings represent the "REAL" people reading those stories filled with "LARGER THAN LIFE" characters (while snacking on their elevensies), that's why halflings are "half" the size of story humans, because the readers can never measure up the the characters in those stories... the "height" of halflings is just a means to represent that.
Other Short characters are still "Bigger than life" with their special abilities/qualities.
You monster You...[Tucks ear necklace inside shirt]I'm not necessarily calling the girls fodder but the males are. Males are killed en mass by the player to make money on their ears & their children are born to fight & die for the MC's wealth & power. They are often depicted as low level fodder in most fantasy settings where they are not a core race. And FUCK you're racism lol
You keep arguing like this is "High Fantasy" where Goblins are the generic enemy, it isn't, this is Tinkerers universe, where Goblins are our Friends/Family & Cum Buckets. Failing to account for the world you live in and continuing to use outdated definitions marks you as a racist against goblins.
Irrelevant, the argument was about having too many short characters, not their origin.
There are too many human sized characters IMO
What worthwhile difference is there between Mia, Beth and Gwen?
Maybe I misread something but wasn't it clearly stated that she was the MC's Half sister, that they did not have the same mother.
The other stuff about her was, what is known in the trade as "being cute"
"Tongue in cheek" , "Not being serious" I'm sure you will, shame you misread the map and are currently fighting on a completely different hill... Who is it you're fighting BTWTL'DR; I am a very anal person who is gonna die on this hill
Is it Dwarfs?? I don't see why we can't have both Gnomes and Dwarfs. (and Halflings, Imps, Goblins, Midget Elves, Pixies, Fairies,...)
