Decided to set up the KotR thread now to help with my sanity. I'll let you all know when you are allowed to post (and set up a new think tank after all of the recruitment stuff has been posted). For now... enjoy reading up on how Arthur recruited Rebecca

"So... let me get this straight. Mom was a fan of English folklore, specifically Arthurian legend, and named us after characters in the stories... and you want me to name our guild after the same legends?" Arthur remarked as he looked through the pile of papers in front of him. "I'll be real...

I'm a bit of an emotional trainwreck at the moment... so try not to take anything I say to heart for a few days... and sorry to anyone I snapped at within the last 48 hours...

Grampa... he died in '82...

Same... though my dad is allergic to citrus fruits, so we don't get them very often

Don't make me get Uncle Grape

you ain't fireproof gramps, stop trying to swim in the lava!

So... anti-heroes... anyone wanna add to that discussions?

you left your wheelchair in the volcano again, gramps

You could start by listening to my opinion and actually taking the time to process what I was trying to explain to you.

And it feels, to me, that you don't respect my opinion when you continue to argue over something endlessly So please... don't be me

Frost, stop... it is time to move on from this topic and talk about other aspects of writing (or just to talk about anything else)

Frost, it was never stated that they were born that way... they were twisted by Sauron's evil magic

of course they aren't going to have time to bring up the orcs as much as the other races... have you seen have big middle earth is? The fact that Tolkien had enough time to even explain what he did is a miracle in it's own. You are focused too much on one aspect of a story has excels everywhere...

And I think you are being way too stubborn about this, considering I doubt anyone else would consider elves who were twisted by evil magic and shunned by their original people and became filled with hatred and resentment as 1 dimensional or a waste of lore :/

most of what I remember reading focused more on the idea of only needing to explain what you need to explain and that it's perfectly fine to have a nameless army... plus someone explaining how Tolkien's orc actually had worldbuilding, it was just cut from the movies

I would rather focus on the characters and let their interactions and knowledge build the world for me... plus, there is no winning or losing... just you being the only person out of everyone who actually has that ideal

Long story short: Dahl is an orc, fantasy is not real life, sometimes generic baddies are good to have, Marine is a Tiefling who like fucking with orcs, Black is envious of all of us for various talents (and one I don't have), and worldbuilding can indeed be taken too far.
