I'll be honest I would play the poo poo out of Doggy Day-Care: The Campaign.

The nonsense of D&D healing isn't worse than the cliche of a dying speech.

Dallbun posted:46: Gnoll Cubs, Part 2 of 2 Personally I'd let the players get away with healing the gnoll after he's made his dramatic death speech and handed over the magical weapon, at which point he's completely confused not to mention utterly unprepared for handling the babies. He'll admit that he has no idea what "true gnoll fashion" would entail and just wanted some dramatic last words that the PC's might tell others about. Then he tries to distract the PC's and get away so he doesn't get stuck with the babies. Dallbun posted:47: Southbound Express I really dig this one, though it feels like it should have a follow-up of some other adventurers or goblinoids chasing after him later, asking the PC's about his location, maybe being suspicious of them, etc. Or maybe he could've tossed the PC's some gold to fight whoever's after him.

The gnoll babies+ dying plea to raise them could work, in a system where gnolls are not racially evil just hated and if the system does not have instant curing magic. So not d&d.

It depends on the specific version of D&D but most version of D&D don't have huamnoids as inherently evil.

Having adventurer parents sounds like a real bad deal. They probably should have been charged to safely deliver the children to a sister tribe (and convince them to take them in).

I played a character who was the son of adventurers before. Part of the character was that he wasn't fazed by pretty much anything for the first good section of the campaign and was confused by the rest of the party making big deals over things because he had always assumed that everyone's childhood was like his.

I think it would be a lot more challenging (and rewarding) to find some charitable villagers who'll take the babies when everyone in the region considers gnolls to be marauding savages.

Horrible Lurkbeast posted:The gnoll babies+ dying plea to raise them could work, in a system where gnolls are not racially evil just hated and if the system does not have instant curing magic. In basically every edition of D&D, the gnolls were created, or at least heavily patronized by, the demon prince Yheenoghu. So there's a heavy undercurrent of chaotic evil and demon worship, and that gnolls themselves might be literally tainted by evil. In Eberron, some gnolls are that way, but the Gnolls of the Znir Pact realized that that was dumb as hell, threw off the chains of their warlock masters, and started hiring themselves out as mercenaries to the highest bidder. After reading Volo's, one of my pet ideas for a 5e character (if I ever find myself playing that again) is a Gnoll Asimaar who hides his glorious golden visage under a hood because he thinks he's a hideous perversion the same way a human tiefling would.

Centuries of this have brought them into being the Council’s secret police. I like how, just like how the humans+other races on the surface are slowly reforming and getting into a position to actually push Chaos back, the Skaven just might manage to get their poo poo together and be a functioning society. I mean, that'd probably be a net negative for the world, but still.

Also the best reason that they will never unite... Thanquol.

He finally, after over 20 years, captures Gotrek and Felix, introduces himself, and gloats how he'll finally have his revenge on the paid of adventurers for foiling so many of his schemes, and their reply sends him into an epic rage: "Thanquol..? Who is that?" In the End Times/Age of Pauldron timeline, Thanquol gets fed to Archaon to make Archaon sound more dangerous. I think it might even have happened off-screen.

Realtalk, give me the bleachlings, I've always generally disliked gnomes and Pathfinder's gnomes are no exception, making them dour and stoic would be a welcome personality change from the bog-standard d20 gnome personality of "I'm a gnome" along with the optional personality trait of "tee hee aren't I whimsical and a tricksy stinker".

One of the books mentiones that the bleaching is, in the long run, a good thing for gnomes, as it means that they'll live longer lives and not die out because the entirety of their race was trying to out-jackass each other.

Davin Valkri posted:Do you think that other game lines do this "more gracefully", as it were? The only one that comes to mind is Ashen Stars and its Bogey Conundrum--how does that compare to Starfinder's Gap? Stars Without Number has 'The Scream', a psychic event that shattered the star-spanning human civilisation, and forced planets that survived it to start making their own way back into space. Said human civilisation was well on the way to amusing itself to death before The Scream happened.

Mors Rattus posted:Was he Sigmar Jesus that got ganked by Snikch but then came back for the End Times? Yes. In WHFRP his death is currently being used as a rallying cry by Luthor Huss, crazy religious rebel, as the church of Sigmar considers having another disastrous schism because the Empire can't get enough of those sweet, sweet own goals. Admittedly 'Supposed Chosen One got murdered while everyone won the war anyway' feels properly warhammer. As does it becoming a plot point of political and religious disunity that PCs might have to fight or mend.
