Card's Against Humanity works if you're the target audience, 15 years old and somehow couldn't sneak booze into your small party. You get to be racist and say naughty words only it's a game and you haven't developed the critical thinking necessary to think about why being "pretend racist" with cards is weird.

Never played CAH and have no desire to but it is amazing to see y'all get so worked up about it every time it's mentioned. Great article by Ettin though; gonna save that link

I don't think anyone, except for Plutonus, is mustering much beyond "I don't like this thing, here's my reasons"

What if you made it like every goons favorite movie, The Raid: Redemption (or Dredd)? You start your hunt for one particular baddie, they put a big bounty on you and your crew, then suddenly a bunch of rudeboys are coming for you because it might be there one chance to get out of this hellhole. You don't gotta make it a murder romp.

I'm always surprised there hasn't been a definitive law enforcement or organized crime RPG. Maybe it's too close to reality, but they're such huge genres it feels bizarre to see them mostly untouched. Maybe they're just more fun to watch than portray.

I mean blades in the dark has ghosts, but you're just a bunch of rowdy crime boys.

Things are bad, but you know what isn't? That's right mother fuckers I'm talking elves.
You know em, you love em, mother loving elves.
What settings got your favorite elf? You like the vanilla plain Jane nothing wrong with that Tolkien elf or are you more of a rude cyber dude rocking that shadow run elf? I like that mad max Dark Sun elf, ready to eat a dude and gladiate some fools.

And yo, while we're here, talking about elves, what's up with dark elves? How do you play with dark elves in a way that isn't weirdly racist?

D&D has had half-orcs for a few editions now. (Some of which are far weirder and worse about it than half-elves ever were.)

I liked how 13th age made sure everyone knew orcs were smooth like Ken dolls and that half orcs just kind of happen in places that need them, like they're the chosen ones.
