@sirblastalot @Ziggurat And it’s pretty clear that orcs and goblins and such started out as the stand-ins for those Natives.

@GuerillaGrue @Shyfer 3rd Edition is when they even started *trying* to push back, by getting rid of class and level limits by species.
@Khrux @kbal The impression I’ve gotten over the years is that Gygax was certainly sexist at the time (expecting that D&D would obviously not be for women, for example) only to ease off as the years went by (being pleasantly surprised that actually women do like D&D). This contrasts with his racism, which I understand him to have hewed strongly to until the day he died.
@Shkshkshk @dnd Hags being considered fey, Sora Kell or any of her daughters would be appropriate.
@Shkshkshk @196 Suffice it to say that I suffered through over a decade of “bad classroom management”, a lot of which went above and beyond mere attempts at containing screaming and crying… and meanwhile, the “teasers” (the teachers insisted that the verbal bullying be called “teasing”) got away scot-free.
I ultimately dropped out of school because of the way the teachers treated me, even two years after they actually finally decided putting the bullies on notice was a worthwhile step.
@Shkshkshk @196 Do you also have an excuse for why the bullying victim gets punished by teachers instead of the bully?
@Shkshkshk @196 Do you have means by which to report potential bullies? Because I can only imagine a bully thinking this way.
@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars Of those:
* A bus stop
* A restaurant
* Maybe a park, I haven’t timed it?
There’s also a convenience store (with no associated gas station), which while expensive has proven handy in emergencies.
@Enfors @rustyfish I’m of the opinion that PvP should only happen with mutual consent between the players.
