Drow are far more like Arabs, TBH, especially with their penchant for slavery.


Some troll should make a /pol/ themed tabletop RPG where the setting is the modern world and do write ups of all the different real races like they're DnD races. The autistic screeching it would trigger would be glorious.

Someone already did. It's called RaHoWa and jews can distract your character by throwing money on the ground.

There's enough done for it to have a rulebook. It's your average low-effort OGL product with bad math and worse rules but it exists and can be played. I'd qualify it as more working and finished than FATAL for whatever mileage that will get you.

You can't really without fudging it because it's broken. They accidentally made Jews basically invulnerable.

If you look at most OGL games from that era they were almost all shovelware so to me it doesn't stand out for anything except being racist.

Though if you asked, I couldn't really say which one takes that honor. Maybe Book of Erotic Fantasy might be the worst since it has no excuse. There were some spells in that where if you cast them you could basically kill any opponent, and you could say they should know better because at least you knew the people who made it played D&D. They could compare spells with an existing setting and realize they made something horrifying instead of working from nothing with just "it's racist" as a premise.

On-topic sidenote, this was actually a thread on RPGnet back when it was still good. I agree with a lot of takes they had on which were bad.

Worst d20 Supplement from the d20 boom.

Ahh yes, just a few years ago a huge explosion of d20 material hit the market. A few pieces were good, many many more were terrible. Of what you've encountered, what was the worst d20 product to hit the market and why?

F.A.T.A.L. had a magic system where you could accidentally blow up the entire world instantly.

RaHoWa was made by a crazy guy who wrote his own "Bible" and tried to start a cult. And I don't think anybody ever played FATAL, including the guy who wrote it.

Shit, I don't know.

I wanna see a halfling wandering around with a sombrero and a bottle of tequila, stealing the gold horseshoes off of the nobles horses and riding around in their low-rider chariots.

Looks like I'm adding Dirty Sanchez the Burrito Bandito to my character archive. Second breakfasts AND siestas!

RPGnet's stance on goblins from Harry Potter.

Don't want to click the link? It involves...

And you know how we have three or four megathreads for posting memes and how people occasionally comment on them?

The jannies hate it when people start asking for context.

Amber Diceless always had its own area set aside in GenCon's space with its own sign up book, completely bypassing the stupid pay ticketing system. It was the best part of the con by far up until Wujcik died way too young (fuck cancer) in 2008. No GenCon artificial beaurocracy to deal with, just a bunch of tables and a notebook to list sessions you wanted to run or to sign up for. No drama, no mess.

Not sure how Erik pulled it off, GenCon was run pretty badly even then, but Amber was well served by its independence and political correctness is not really a feature of Zelazny's creation.

Cross-over from the SJW Thread. Now we can add "Asian women = Mermaids" as well.

At first I thought he/she/it was talking about D&D, and then I realized she was talking about One Piece. So she is whining that a Japanese cartoon is and example of white racism against Asian women.

RPGnetizens are inventing forms of racism that members of Stormfront wouldn't come up with, then projecting them on other people.

That post is from somewhere else, I believe Space Battles. It seems about right, especially where the poster goes how a Japanese manga by a Japanese author aimed at a Japanese audience is totally "random whining about white males."

I'd go on about the other ways it's wrong but this isn't the right thread for it.
