This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: CRKrueger;951638Different Titanspawn races and some of the more aggressive and evil Divine Races are PC options and are now accepted.

I agree that titanspawn PCs is a crap idea.  Scarn is made for an epic battle of Titans and Gods and there are damn good in-setting reasons for the various races to be on one side or the other exclusively.  And why would people on the divine side hang around with crazy fuckers trying to bring the Titans back?

I mean, it's more of a classic Moorcockian Order vs. Chaos setting than anything else, even if it uses AD&D style alignments.

For some of the races I could see individual exceptions, but to have this event in the setting where these Titanspawn races were officially accepted by the Divine Races is a little much to believe.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

I agree on all points. I'm working up a HERO conversion of Scarred Lands, and there will be no Titanspawn races for PCs (including hostile elves...).

They weren't. The PCs are specifically redeemed subraces. This was true in 3.x for races like medusa and unseeing ratmen and others I don't remember. The rest still serve the titans. Part of it is also integrating the new PF races into SL.
