Is making half-elves/orcs/giants/whatever a human power?
Aside from demons, angels, and dragons who all have the power of magic behind them, humans seem to be the only common race in that game that produces viable hybrids. It seems to be a common theme not just in D&D, but in any speculative fiction setting. I mean, just the phrase Mars Wants Women an...

What does this mean? It means that the two most populous countries on Earth are flirting quite severely with war. There is no chance in hell that such a conflict would remain contained to South Asia. But why? What possible benefit does either country get out of going to war or even antagonizing the...

Unfortunately, a significant segment of our American society is--let's face it--so sadistic and eager for punishment of the criminal underclass that I simply can't imagine them allowing any sort of meaningful reform.

Breaking modern society
So one of the biggest rules that holds modern gaming together is that you are relatively easy to kill and so is everyone else.

Why do people even buy or sell magic items?
With the exception of a very small subset of items, such as a ring of teleportation or a crystal ball, why would anyone bother selling most of this crap? For example, in Shadowrun, people wouldn't wipe their ass with a +2 pistol of whatever the fuck. Or rather, they would, but if anyone tried to sel...
