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.

QuoteOf the handful of elf/human pairings we know about, only two have ever chosen mortality: Elros and Arwen. It seems that half-elves are immortal (and indistinguishable from elves) by default, but have the option to forsake their immortality and accept the Gift of Man. Most, by all accounts, choose not to.

For sake of being annoying nerd I'm gonna point out it's other way round - every descendant of Men is mortal (though lore like Athrabeth shows its not necessarily a Gift).
Dior son of Beren and Luthien was 27 when he died, adult, father of two - if he had elven lifespan he would be kid. Simmilarily Dol-Amroth princes were mortals despite elven blood in their veins.

It was ONLY descendant of Earendil that get choice to follow Elven fate after he travelled to Valars with Silmaril. And even descendants of Elrond who picked fate of Elves, could reverse to human nature.

So, what exactly would satisfy the demands of someone complaining about "Biological Essentialism" in their RPGs?

New character classes: You finally get to play the role of a Rock!!!  You can now choose between Sandstone, Obsidian, Quartz, Limestone, or Marble.  You have a Strength and Constitution of 18.  Your Dexterity, Intelligence, and Wisdom are zero; because you're a Rock.  Perhaps if you are an attractive Rock, your Charisma score could be above zero.

Your disgusting show of Mineral Essentialism has been noted, Comrade.
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

I see you're embracing the stereotype of rocks as stupid, ie "Dumb as a box of rocks."

Rocks need to be allowed an intelligence of 18 just like any other species (yes, rocks are a species, the science is settled).

You probably want to vary strength by rock subspecies based on Moe's Hardness Scale, you hater.

As I keep pointing out.

There is no limit to what these sociopaths will hallucinate as offensive. See all the above jokes about rocks.

Guess what? Given time thise will not be jokes. Those will be real (in the woke's diseased minds) offenses. "Rocks represent the oppreseded blacks and thats WACIST!"
