The last time I played D&D in a group setting, our party was all over the place in alignment. We had a LG paladin, a CG bard, A TN Druid, a LE necromancer, a CE thief, and CN cleric. After one fight with bandits, our party freed a town that had been held slave. Almost immediately, the Lawfuls were all for continuing on with the adventure, leaving the town to its own devices. My LE necromancer turned to the CE thief and started discussing setting up the town as a way station for miners and cross country cartiers. The Lawfuls were chafing to go, and my LE necromancer stopped them in their tracks.
"How can you be a paladin and Cleric and leave these people with no way to feed themselves."
The Paladin retorted, "What are you going to do, enslave them?"
The necromancer threw back, "At least I don't leave my slaves to die. I make sure they have food and medicine, and make sure that they have places to live. I may deal in death, but I don't leave people to die. Your goddess should be ashamed of herself and you."
The CE thief was rolling on the ground laughing at the dink and cleric.
Needless to say, we spent time putting the town together before leaving to finish the adventure.
>Already the warning signs have shown themselves, what with the public’s disapproval of comparing orcs and drow to people who just so happen to have darker skin tones, not to mention the removal of the term “race” itself, for apparently being too “problematic.”
Do you have any idea how many times I have gotten this soy argument? It's more than once. And their argument is literally just "the medieval city has a wall, which is Literally Hitler because Orange Man Bad" along with implications that the orcs are either blacks or Mexicans (they're green, and no one else mistakes them for humans).
If anything the unrealistic part is that the wall should be ten feet taller because all the physical elites can casually jump 25 meters lol.
And then for trolling value the Drow completely dodge all the D&D psycho spider shit and are reclusive, but not the slightest bit Evil. Well, not as a race, anyway.
