It's...weird. I kinda feel like I have to pull dobule duty to show I can roleplay.
I enjoy the Fighter. I like fighting stuff.
Human. I stick with what I know.
Least favorite race is Elf. They're a bit...overdone.
I know how you feel and Long live the fighters.
So you like hitting stuff, ever heard of Paths of War?

I just have a subjective relationship with the truth. THAT weekend was great.
The adventure was a siege, with the party playing the defenders. I advertised it as dangerous, with multiple character deaths (everyone had 3). Not a single PC died, and they lost forty men to the two THOUSAND I lost. Bunch of hosers.
Make an appearance where?

7 is my lucky number. I was born on the 7th, I was 7th on the waiting list to get into my middle school...that's about it, really. And that was years ago. Plus I think it sounds cool.
7 is a good number!
9 might be my lucky number.
Also since I notice you are unfond of elves: how do you feel about a campaign setting in which elves (not dark elves, not drow, just regular old elves) command a sprawling, expansionist empire in which they have enslaved all the core mortal races?

That sounds cool, but the problem is that it might create NPCs who can hit without being hit back.
I'm actually more fond of the Witcher's (the books, haven't played the games) idea: pure elven culture is dying out. It creates more opportunites for roleplay (regardless of whether you play as an elven codger or a more human-adapted elf), which is always a good thing in my book, and it's a deal more believable.
It has...historicity.

Yeah, it has created this to an extent, but I don't see it as a problem, unless I'm not understanding what you mean.
I always decided that my setting would be chaotic stupid-proof, in which one would not necessarily get away with disrespecting NPC's possessing power/authority.
I also decided that this would be a somewhat (but not incredibly) brutal and unforgiving setting in which common sense will get you far in the ways of survival, but murderhobo logic will not.

Yeah. NPCs being able to hit you (etc.) is a personal sore spot for me because of the main villain in a game I'm playing in, Ragnarrok, some sort of deity (whom I have affectionately nicknamed Randy). He's basically one of THOSE NPCs who seems to know that they can't be hurt. Luckily, I brought my A-Game in terms of character building, so my plan is
+Strip him naked
+Tie him to a pole
+March him into the center of town (where he is a worshiped deity)
+Beat him up some more.
+Let him go, discrediting him and hopefully causing some of his flock to move to greener pastures.
I'm actually a fan of the murderhobo aesthetic when played straight: people treat adventurers like you or I would treat a heavily armed and armored stranger with unknown motivations, who seek only to cause more violence and leaving oceans of blood in their wake either intentionally or unintentionally.

whoa that's pretty brutal.
I do not mean that it is impossible to hurt my NPC's, just that for some in lofty positions of authority, it is hard, like it should be. The empress is actually level 20 (or possibly mythic level, once I read up on that rule set) and well protected by her personal elite guard that is at least almost as experienced as she is, so only impossible unless you're also really high level and use strategy instead of mindlessly swinging swords.
I agree about when NPCs treat murderhobos the way they would logically be treated. In my setting, if you act like a murderhobo within frontier borders and news of your terrorizing towns begins to spread, you will get a bounty on your head and imperial frontier watch and local constabularies will attempt to detain you, or possibly even kill you if they think it's too dangerous to try to take you alive. After all, it is what governments would actually do.

...I have never read ASOIAF, nor seen the series (Mom&Dad say it's too old for me), but if it's half as good as "The Heroes", that goes down in history as one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me.
Me telling kids what they should and should not watch is futile and not my idea of a fun time, but your mom and dad have the right idea.
If you don't think you can handle a show full of more blatant rape, sexual violence and misogyny than you can shake a stick at (and the show is honestly worse than the books because the tv writers are trash and thought that inserting more rape than is actually in the books would be fun for everyone watching), Game of Thrones might not be for you.
There is a reason why I do not actually recommend people to watch the show, I just tell them what it contains, and it's up to them whether or not it's something they can or might want to watch.
That being said, it is a well-crafted and complex story with lovable characters and a deep, interesting setting. It just also happens to practically be the Kill la Kill of western high fantasy, sans the military junta academy and the near-naked battle suits.
Also I have a guilty pleasure for Jason Momoa.

Have you ever read The Crystal Shard, by R.A. Salvatore or Azure Bonds by Jeff Grubb and Kate Novak, I highly recommend both with the latter being the better of the two :-)
Also you must listen to The Ziggens :-)
I tried The Orc King by Salvatore, and just kept wishing that S.M. Stirling had written it.
I have no clue as to Azure Bonds, but I'll definitely take a look (and the Ziggens thing).

Hey lucky7, time no see.
What's the sickest/most disgusting/most disturbing monster you ever threw at your party?
Hm. That is a toughie.
I honestly have now clue what I'd want to throw at them next. Do you have any ideas?

Well, i do, since you're asking.
There's a monster, undead, called the Gutdragging Lurcher.
It's an undead humanoid with 4 20ft reach entrails wriggling out of its body.
Full attack= 4 20ft reach rotten
Ok, roll DC 14 fort or take 1d6 non lethal dmg.
Especially effective vs Tien females.
The sorceress called it gross, OOC. Nifty, no?
