How do you prefer the relationship between elves and other peoples to be portrayed in your games?
Don't know anon, why don't you show us what you have figured out for your system?
>>94638367As far as portrayal in gameplay goes, elves act as an attachment to gear; every piece of gear, whether it's a piece of armor, a weapon, or even a consumable item, can each have one elf. Depending on the type of elf herself and what she's attached to, the effects of the gear are altered and the stats of her partner are passively increased.
>>94638367
>another garbage thread
>>94638390Most recently I made two kingdoms in oathmark, one which was a dark elf/orc combo with the background that it was ruled by a dark elf elite (pictured) that rule subjugated orc tribes through fear and use them as meat shields in battle.The other was a primarily human kingdom with a small, but significant brown elf minority that contributes with specialists such as mages and some elite troops.
>>94638825Thanks for joining us!
It's absolutely astonishing how it's always the same exact anon.
>>94638390
What's up with the anon talking to himself?
>>94638390>>94638899That's a tomboy, right? It's a very masculine woman being carried into the rape, right?
>>94638911It's even in the title of the manga: Elf Boyfriend & Boyish Girlfriend.
>>94638924phew...Good.
>>94638367That depends on the kind of elf
>>94638911it's not rape when it is an elf,Except when it is a dark elf>now when it is an elf and a dark elf it gets confusing
>>94638905In a sense, yes.Elves are the "size" of a typically portrayed fairy, but don't have a physical form; they use magic to make themselves perceivable to heroes they find worthy. The exact process can't be fully explained, but each person has their own "sovereignty" or meta territory, and the gear they're equipped with are all a part of that territory as structures, or "homes". Elves occupy those homes, imbuing them, and by extension the hero's sovereignty, with power.One who communes with elves can enter meditation to elevate their interaction closer to the elves' innate state, and doing so will increase the bond between elf and hero.The bonding is represented in gameplay by having the hero go through mini spiritual dungeons based on the piece of gear, and each level completed represents bond level, which further improves stats and effects.
>>94639144This is autistic and I like it.
>>94638367Horny and lewd
>>94638872Great that you put the dice nearby to make it seem like there is a game happening next to your toy soldiers.
>>94638367>everyone hates elves.
>>94639417Thanks, Anon.
>>94638367varies between strained and hostile because the elves are so haughty and have goals that are completely contrary to everyone else
>>94638367It's insane how dogshit a character pirotess is. even retardlit is better
>>94642916awful post
People only like Deedlit because she's attached to a human male.
>>94642963>posts cropped pornpoint proven lmao>>94642972
Same goes for Pirotess.
>>94638905I wanna poke the hole on her back.It looks like it would get cold.
>>94642976>>94642972only NTR enthusiasts like yourself care about that
What a weird ad-hom.
>>94643123>only NTR enthusiastsYou can just say "anime fans" anon, the venn diagram of the two groups is a circle.
>>94643174Anime website.
The Eldar are my favorite depiction of Elves in all fiction
>>94644233I prefer the dark eldar, I just like the extra edge>why are the dark elves always cooler than their lighter counterparts?
>>94644233Polytheist elves are unconvincing also they're everywhere which adds to the unconvincing nature of their culture.
>>94645170Polytheism is infinitely more interesting than gay monotheism
>>94644233Based.
>>94645187One reality is infinitely more conducive to civilization than realpolitik between fallible higher powers.
>>94643123Ironic, considering the porn you're cropping doesn't feature Pirotess paired with Ashram.
>>94645411they're not marriedrape isn't NTR by any sane definition
There are traditional games.
>>94642972She wasn't even attracted to him in the original source. Plus Parn is so fucking bland and she's obsessed with him for no reason.Truly that Lodoss anime was ahead of its time when you consider isekais
>>94645824Japan already had isekai animes by the time of the Lodoss books, nevermind the anime
>>94645441>rape isn't NTR by any sane definitionI'm in no position to argue what is or isn't sane, but the way I've see that tag used covered both women cheating willingly and women take by coercion or force.
>>94638390When the OP puts his opinion in the OP, the thread becomes about critiquing his idea instead of sharing his own. Post your fucking ideas you insufferable faggot, and the OP will post his later as an anonymous.And don't you dare cry about the OP being too much of a coward that's not how being anonymous works.
>>94638367Elves are superior beings, or course.
>>94644213Computers used to be exclusively for calculation. Times changeGrow up
>>94647604Everything a computer does requires calculations. Even when you're fapping to big fat anime tiddies, each sweaty pixel on those massive melons is being calculated by the machine.
>>94648494
I want to fuck lord Ashram.
>>94647604So then, why are you typing in English?Times change.Grow up.
>>94649973what makes brown elves different from other elves?
>>94649990I wonder what his AI chatbot will come up with.
>>94649990Even weaker to cock, quite impressive really
>>94650599how is it possible to be even weaker to cock than your standard elf?
AI chatbots are truly pornbrained these days.
>>94638367so many half elves
>>94638367They like dwarves and dwarves like them
>>94650631Based.
>>94638474is there even any game with harem mechanics like that?
>>94638367My relationship between elves and humans is that elves are all women and steal males from humans to breed.
>>94647292I remember when japanese isekai actually produced good fantasy anime and it was before the first modern isekai anime (SAO, ironically enough since its not technically an isekai lmao) was produced
>>94650608I know it's quite remarkable, but chocolate elves can easily integrate into human society and are very numerous compared to other elves
The anon talking to himself is the highlight of this thread.
>>94638367shameful that nobody has made Lodoss elf miniatures
elves are so well known for getting along
>>94652181This shit thread will probably get bumped repeatedly from the catalogs nether region over the holidays.
>>94655807>This shit thread will probably get bumped repeatedly from the catalogs nether region over the holidays.And you'll be here the entire time lol
How long and tapered should elf ears be?
>>94642972Parn is the most boring gay self-insert character ever, no one cares about him. Deedlit and the oldfag dorf are far more interesting
>>94638367I prefer it when they have virtually none.Elves have done the majority of their job, defending the world from an ancient evil, and are now fading from the world. Those that remain stand guard in ancient hollows and secluded realms where the veil between worlds is still thin, or where there are forgotten evils that must be watched over. To humans, they are a distant and magical folk of the deep woods and the far places. When encountered outside their small, warded territories, they are usually seen only as wispy, shadowy strangers in cloaks that shimmer like starlight through fog, who appear when someone unearths something they shouldn't, or there is some foul thing abroad to be hunted. The come without warning, go without explanation, and this is all most humans can ever expect to know of them.
Elves are only good if they are elves and that non-elves treat elves like elves. Non-elf elves are not real elves and we need to stop treating non-elf elves as elves and treat them like non-elves.
>>94638367Elves are the descendants of the nobility from an ancient magical civilization.
>>94642916>characterthat's your errorshe was never a character, she was decoration
>>94658038>oldfag dorfthat character was boring as fuckdidn't even have a proper name, "Ghim" was just short for "Gimli" since that's the one dwarf that came to the player's mind when naming his PC.Still, Ghim at least was heroic and had a cool death.I think the thief was weirdly fun.The cleric seemed underrated, considering how he ends up marrying the princess and becoming a ruling king.
>>94661629They’ve forgotten their origins and the source of their physical differences from unaltered humans, living in the remnants of their old empire.
>>94638367Male human x female elf is peak
>>94664928nah, it's trashthat's why it's common in weeb media for losers
>>94658342Okay, I’m going to need you to explain that a bit better if you want me to understand it. Because there’s a lot of circular wording in there.
Elves would be uberboomers
>>94655628How does she even shoot her bow without cutting the string with these claws?
>>94667961probably best not to think about it too hard about Warcraft character designs
>>94667961I wouldn't worry about it, she doesn't have a bowstring
>>94667967why do elves even go into the underdark? you'd think they'd be smarterit's like walking into a crime riddled city, stepping into a dark alleyway and screaming 'I have fifty bucks on my body!'
I don't like it in general. Fantasy racemixing seems mostly bad to me.
>>94668178funny, thats the drow attitude to anything on the surface.
>>94668871there's a difference between male elf getting down and male drow going upthe latter group is far less likely to end up getting sacrificed to the evil spider goddesswould you rather: have a submissive moon elf waifu or get dragged underground and get disposed via sacrifice after a few rounds of R&R?
>>94667851Followers of Cra aren't even elves, they're Human.
>>94668924neither. I want the submissive, tomboy wood elf GF who likes to hunt, fish, and is racist against things I dont like.
>>94667516Look. It's simple. Elves should be treated like elves. Elves shouldn't be treated like neon non-elves. Lots of people treat elves like non-elves and that's just stupid because Elves are elves.
>>94647572OP is apparently such a coward that (s)he has to sockpuppet.
>>94638367Elves aren't worth that level of consideration. They're probably the most boring fantasy race out there.
>>94652181Mods fear himJannies kneel to himYou cannot stop himBu$mpf!ag
so how do you do evil-aligned elves? Did Lodoss have a good take on them?
>>94664928
>>94668178I heard they have nintendo switch.
>>94671596I got one
Elves are descended from a Genetically engineered Human spliced with some other species created by long dead "Maker", they were living the life of plenty and luxury in a Crystal City in the Arctic Ice for tens of thousands of years, the Majority of the race however was on 'Ice' or hibernating sleep awaiting some ancient purpose intended by the maker. A number of Elves were selected as the Watchers and were charged with looking after their fellow Elves in Stasis. Half the Watchers population awake in a decade long rotation. The City eventually broke down and the automatons that took care of them began to fail. This coincided with Barbarian human invaded the City from under the Mountain where the City sat, huge catacombs and the Elves and the remaining Automatons fought the enemy, Many Elves Watchers and Sleepers escape on strange automated boats, they land on a mysterious island, Baylor, once they start settling they find the island hostile and full of dangerous, and the refugees arriving in waves from the still dying city, once all of the refugees had arrived within two generations (roughly 100 years) they start splitting into the traditional High/Sun Elves, Earth Elves/Green Elves, Gray Elves, Sea Elves (They build boats) and the Dark Elves who are the last to arrive to the Island. Vast number of the majority of elves were from Sun, Green and Gray factions, these three are lead by a Triumvirate, a Priest for the Sun Elves, A Druid with the Green Elves and a Warrior Prince of the Gray Elves.These three led the majority of the elves from the Island to inhabit the mainland of the Continent of Kedar. The Sun Elves become Solar worshipping Kingdom that turns into a kin-slaying Empire of saints and maniacs of equal measure, Green Elves turn into hippie nature worshippers and get murked in the entire tribes by Sun Elves in the the Three year Slaughter, Gray Elves try their best to hold against the the Sun Elves but had to run off Eastern shores of the Fhal.
>>94669023Mother fucker. She looks like an elf, acts like an elf, and she sounds like an elf. She's an elf. Also fuck their frenchie lore. If the writers don't respect it then I'm not respecting it.

>>94655807And so they did.
>>94674505I'm very close to having it ready for publication. Pic related.
>>94674239This confuses the coombrain, but there is more to elves than just looks.Cra might be ones under a different name, though Japan loves to slap pointy ears on random stuff that isn't human.
blonde chocolate dark elf knights that are not for rape
>>94681220Japan also loves to make elves then call them humans>like Hyruleans
>>94681273Because in the original Japanese script, they likely used the word "ningen", which often gets translated into human. But it can also mean people, or be used for all kinds of humanoid, intelligent creatures (contrary to beasts and monsters).
>>94681285That explains why this thing gets called 'human'
>>94673427In almost every game I dm, humans are descendants of elves based on the continental germanic meaning of elf being ancestor.
>>94683189Altmer/Ayleids/Direnni/Thalmor.
>>94681273>Hurr they have pointy ears = they're elves.Shittiest take
>>94638367In my setting. I have Elves as a respected former world power that broke up and while they don't have a high military presence. Their city-states often hold high political power and it help prevent other nations from invading. (Like having magical college that many nations send their nobles too. Or a major trade hub that other nations also get to use for mass trading and all.) Basically the elves unable to play "wide" all are playing "tall" and using others to keep those who could overrun them from being able to do so.
>>94664928You mean male goblin x female elf
>>94638924>>94638899>>94638390kek
Hopefully this elf pic won't be deleted for being off-topic. Current status of my wood elf force, I'll have to finish it next year.Post elf minis.
>>94638367What games?
>>94702272Traditional games
>>94647604Why are you typing in English?Times change.Grow up.
>>94638367I have two games involving elves and both relationships are technically somewhat exploitative.>The former.>A sorta alt WW1/time travel high fantasy setting involving the dichotomy between magic and science, meaning and information, form and shape. Aquinus' theorm.>This is demonstrated between Elves and Dwarves, with humans being bad at both magic and science, but miraculously able to comprehend both.>Elves are magical animals, born ancient, very powerful and wise, technically immortal but able to lose their identity due to changing natures and environments. As such, they lack a common appearance as a species beyond tall, humanoid and radiant.>Technically, Elves don't reproduce, instead having sex to bond. Rather they take an animal, say a wiley fox, a loyal wolf or a powerful rhinocerous beetle, and educate them over centuries or even millennia (time is weird for them) until at the end of this education on the mysteries of the universe, they're an Elf.>As such, humans (the good ones at least) are often potential candidates to take on as disciples.>The latter setting is an unashamed "kitchen sink fantasy world", basically a large collection of pulled IP's and fantasy concepts played out.>I took the way Old Torquemada handled elves (before they became the center for elf hate). >Basically all the normal things you'd expect of an elf (very intelligent, nature/magic-attuned, beautiful, highly dexterous, sophisticated, master craftspeople, long-lived) but being on average shorter and more delicate, instead of a 7 foot tolkeinian giggachad.>Because of this, they're generally isolationist or nomadic ala Gypsies, as they tend to be vulnerable to exploitation, enslavement or martial conquest by more violence-able races (the average brain damaged, 7'5 orc marine who has evolved to be naturally violent) or races that are more dynamic and quick-moving.>Most consider this treatment of elves appalling, but the world works to the lowest common denominator.
>>94638367>in my gamesWhat elves?
>>94704040>Technically, Elves don't reproduce, instead having sex to bond. Rather they take an animal, say a wiley fox, a loyal wolf or a powerful rhinocerous beetle, and educate them over centuries or even millennia (time is weird for them) until at the end of this education on the mysteries of the universe, they're an Elf.Enlightenment is to become a fucking elf. What a true nightmare you have created!
>>94706477don't you become an elf when you level up in the original DnDI'm not sure what they were thinking
>>94704040>>Technically, Elves don't reproduce, instead having sex to bond. Rather they take an animal, say a wiley fox, a loyal wolf or a powerful rhinocerous beetle, and educate them over centuries or even millennia (time is weird for them) until at the end of this education on the mysteries of the universe, they're an Elf.lmao literally encouraging elf/human magical realm through lore
>>94706956Not that guy, but I've found people who are willing to do magical realm shit provide vastly more interesting characters as PCs and settings as GMs.I think other people either A. don't have enough inside of them to do these correctly or B. are too worried about being cringe to do something interesting.
include KuF dark elves in your games.
>>94706973Sexo is part of reality, not a small part, arguably even the largest part, at least up there with e.g. violence and resource acquisition.If you don't engage with elements of a world, especially if you just handwave those elements as the softest gayest most bland and out of sight version of the real world equivalent despite the setting otherwise being fantastical, then you neither believe in the verisimilitude of the world you're building nor are you really invested in it's details.The thing about magical realms is that they are magical. When you try to squeeze out all the magic, it becomes incongruous if there's magic anywhere else in the setting. See also: high magic settings which try to somehow also have impoverished dirtfarmers in places where the average wealth (from widespread magic instead of industry) is higher than what we have IRL without ever addressing it.
My PC had a run in with a elf casting illusion magicks to pretend to be his lover until he was so ass blasted at being found out the elf killed himself. Unfortunately the elf is controlled by a person obsessed with me IRL so keeps hand waving ways to try and reintroduce himself and his cringe homosexual OCs to the game universe again. I know you're reading this and you know exactly who you are so stop blaming the other players or trying to say it's someone else. You know WHO you are.
>>94708843To be honest, it isn't the dhampirs fault for being dhampirswe shouldn't discriminate just because your dad is a bloodsucking monster
>>94708879I suppose not, but there's a whole society of them, so someone's to blame.
>>94708945>those are half-vampiresI think we should greet them with open arms and welcome them into our society actually, I am the first one to offer my neck to those poor misfortunate souls as I am a very altruistic person
>>94708954I'd call them names so that the dark elves think I'm cool
>>94638367Yeah
>>94713509yeah
>>94638367Elves rule the world and all the rest are either their slaves, vassals, or rebels.
>>94638367>How do you prefer the relationship between elves and other peoples to be portrayed in your games?Pornographically.
>>94715086based and appropriate
>>94638367that depends on the setting and the elfPathfinder elves are haughty; everyone in TES is racistDnD Wood elves seems to be the friendliest kind of elf, followed by moon elves; sun elves and drow are racists40k elves('''eldar'''') are also racist, Warhammer Fantasy elves are racist

do you think it's possible to make your elves like Tolkien without it coming across as a lame copy?
>>94722213Nobody does Tolkien elves. It would be refreshing at this point.
>>94722227maybe there's a reason for that?
>>94722322Yeah, for instance, he just didn't treat them as sex-objects.>b-but Luthien and Arwen!Elves in his works were not flawless, but still something to aspire and admire. Which you can even see with Beren and Aragorn. Great humans in his works were pretty elfish dudes.You hardly get that these days (and if you do, it's not with his care and thoughtfulness, just jerking elves off to the point it becomes obnoxious).
>>94702263Ey. Washers as base! You are not alone.
>>94722358washer bases are perfect for plastic and 3D printed minis since they give weight at the base of the model and make them very stable and adds some heft to them.Also not that expensive for being metal and available in hardware stores at basically any size
>>94722322Because people can't help but throw something to be "different" which changes the idea of them overall. That or they have to make the elves not the idea of what men could aspire towards. To just the racist and snobby idea people like to push towards them.
>>94638367Every time I think about, elves being such long lived race really only gives them the option to either be nearly wiped out, rule everything, or be a isolationists.
>>94728441I feel like DnD take all three, with some kind of elves borderline extinct (especially the winged ones)some basically ruling everything (the drow basically rule the underdark)but most greater elven cities being isolationists (Moonwood/Callidae)you can also find a ton of elves in like Baldurs Gate or, well, everywhere
>>94672672This image is dumb, the humor comes from the irony that goofy-looking aliens are behaving like cultured aristocrats, however, it is considered uncultured to point at someone, undermining the comedic irony.
>>94729766Go be gay somewhere else.
>>94706701>don't you become an elf when you level up in the original DnDWut
Orcs are superior
>>94737765Then make a thread about them.
>>94737765orcs are without a doubt inferior
How do you judge the risks of inheriting elves? They're very valuable so how do you think more primitive civilizations without a sophisticated legal system and inheritance laws would handle to issues?On the flipside would there be any risks associated with the new generations being attached to the elves?
What the fuck is wrong with that sloptard.
>>94638367It honestly depends on the setting, but I prefer if the relationship of elves and men were that of just minding their own business unless something makes them have to stop and look out for each other.
>>94737765No.
it is a weird thought process but if you had an elf from warhammer/pathfinder/forgotten realms/TES cross over into another universe>like a druchii ending up in the underdarkwould they elves in the universe just be like>That's a weird elf and I've seen a lot of weird elvesor would they be like>I don't think you belong into this worldI mean the druchii look like moon elves from far away, humans probably wouldn't be able to tell
