@memeslich Why not? Elves don't have to be Santa's Little Helpers and treated as a joke. Gnomes appear as quite serious beings in quite a bit of fantasy. Don't play gnomes as silly and they won't be treated as silly.

@CorneliusC65914 @lady_valor_07 Such majestic creatures.

@lady_valor_07 Only one endemic mammal. This fellow.

@memeslich Moving on from *just* being adventurers into being more than that.
Of course that started to go a long time ago, certainly wasn't a notable part of 3e or 4e either and arguably shoved aside into Birthright in 2e days.

[OutTake GM @TimothyNewman3]

@Real_J_Mitchell @memeslich I'm sure slaughtering the inhabitants of a land, taking their stuff (sometimes including the lad) and making yourself rich isn't any sort of political statement.
Unless you're one of those natives and Manifest Destiny/European Imperialism is happening to you.

@PaulRStanton I grew up in the 1970s with the three-day week, power cuts, the 'Winter of Discontent' and when I started looking for a job in the 1980s sky-high inflation and 3m uneployed.
Can't say I miss that much.

@pureMetatron These aren't patriots. These people are trying to ensure that the blame for the decline in living standards most people have suffered in the last 40 years is the fault of immigrants instead of the super-rich hoovering up a larger share of national wealth than ever before.

@DungeonNoir It's pretty good at a lot of things. Which means I usually find there's a game which is more specialised at doing whatever I want to do a bit better, Own it. Never actually play it. Not because it's bad, because it's not been my first choice for anything so far.

[OutTake GM @TimothyNewman3]

@DungeonNoir I liked Grand Duchy more. Several big sources of conflict (and hence adventure) were removed in Kingdom; and then there were other cases where everything stayed in stasis and the book just added 10 years to the age of the people involved.
Very pretty though. Good - not as good.

@nonregemesse Purely on aesthetics, I'd go with the one on the right. But I'm not sure that it's a fair comparison taking the high end feudal aristocratic cavalry in their best panoply and comparing them to a more standard soldier. Roman cavalry parade gear is very flashy indeed.

[OutTake GM @TimothyNewman3]

@TheBigPlus1 @nonregemesse I'm not 100% certain that's a Roman. The muscle cuirass suggests Greek/Mecedonian, and I was thinking Companion cavalryman.

Missing out on Blockbuster and Owing an Encyclopaedia.

@DungeonNoir 1e is the Adventures edition - lots of those, settings an afterthought.
2e is the Settings edition. Lots of them and more.
BECMI is the Mystara edition (obviously the best).
3e is the edition of FR and/or Eberron.
4e is Points of Light.
5e treats FR as the default setting.

@pureMetatron They coexisted for centuries in the Ottoman empire. But when they're being used as an excuse for Nationalism (on both sides) that makes it a lot harder.

@Soaringeagle45 David Attenborough. If only it was young DA instead of 90+ Da.
But if I get the animals, there's a pack of wolves that I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley on the way.

[OutTake GM @TimothyNewman3]

@TimothyEveland Well, I've got a mug.
Prince Potemkin, who I am reading a biography of, has an army with 18th century equipment. And if it's only him, access to guns and swords.
I don't think I'm going to have much of a problem.

[OutTake GM @TimothyNewman3]

@DungeonNoir Mystara and it's sub-settings; Birthright; Eberron.
Also played some adventures that had an official location in GH or FR, but in homebrew settings.
And a littile in Pellinore from TSR UK.

[OutTake GM @TimothyNewman3]

@memeslich They live peacefully (though rowdily) with their Elven neighbours, many finding work in heavy labour and the dirty jobs that elves prefer not to do. Canonically, at least.
Although there might be more than one Orc society, humans have that.

[OutTake GM @TimothyNewman3]

@MongoosePub Wonder if it's possible to get them working on modern machines? Be fun to play again.
