Do Gelflings count as Elves? Halflings? What would you classify them as?
Slaves. Or lunch.
>>96834091Probably elves or fairies. I don’t think they really have much halfling qualities to them apart from being short.
>>96834091HHMMMMMMM......
>>96834091Constructs, same as anything the Wizard Henson bore.
>>96834091Fae, or even elementals. They are tied to Thra in body and spirit, when Gelflings die, their essence returns to nature, and nurtures the planet. When the Skeksis start juicing them, they are fucking the cycle itself, which causes the whole world to decay into entropy.
>>96834143What about elflings
>>96834091well what really is an elf?a magical humans shaped by their environment? near-immortal beings chosen by the gods? a catch all term that is interchangeable with goblins and gnomes to describe mysterious tricksters? we know a halfling/hobbit is really just a small human with a built in underdog storyso i'd say they're halflings
>>96834091Halfelflings.
>>96834091Not traditional games.
>>96835858Post models, gameboards, decks, and/or character sheets.
>>96834091>Do Gelflings count as Elves? Halflings? What would you classify them as?some sort of seelie court fellas, faeries/pixies/elves of sort. Their own elf-kin race, but not related to halflings or hobbits at all.the remind me of the classic fantasy version of athasian halflings (they look like the thundercats kits without the feline traits) appearance-wise.
>>96835969>athasian halflingsNeat
>>96835858There's actually a dark crystal rpg
>>96834091They are Fae.
>>96834315I hate your whimper!
>>96834091They're more like gnomes than anything
>>96834958>well what really is an elf?
>>96835865Where are OP's?
>>96839843Does this count?
>>96839843You're the cunt that introduced the requirement, so where are yours?
>>96834091Rather elfish, though not in a Tolkienian sense. If you're working downriver of him, they're more like gnomes or halflings.
>It's so over.
>Mfw no second season
>>96836003>So how Asian should we make it's eyes?Yes.
>>96834315MMMMMmmmmm?
>>96836003they look like1)thundercats twins without the feline stuff2)thin elf youths3)athletic gelflings of sorts
>>96836003and they also look like the boomerang kid from the mad max filmthese are not related to hobbits under any circumstances, they mostly look like a race of feral wild children that developed their own civilization and diverged genetically.athasian halflings are cool.
>>96836003>>96843916That looks like what the elf from Ralph Bakshi's wizards was based onOr maybe it's the other way around
>>96846396>based onprobably a combination of many sources of inspiration
>>96834091Kinda figured the name was goblin (or maybe gnome?) + elf + halflingMight have made them fey-blooded halflings in 3e.
>>96843323Came here for this and I'm glad I wasn't disappointed
>>96834091fae goblins
>>96843034>>96843043>when the gooniest boy ascends to an acuuma state of being>why you nut but she still sucking
>>96834091G(oblin)elf(half)lings
>>96834091Humanoid(Gelfling)
>>96843323Your whimper annoys me!
>>96846517I've never heard of that type of elf until now
>>96843043So weird, too, since they already had the bulk of their practical sets and puppets already done. Sure they'd still need some new assets, but most was already there ready and waiting. Such a fucking waste.
>>96843043>>96848164Second season wasn't necessary. What, you want 8 episodes of gelflings being brutally genocided by black crab monsters?
>>96848419What else were you expecting from a prequel. I mean the damn thing was called the Age of Resistance, after all.Plus I don't think people would mind learning that not all the gelflings were wiped out after all. At the very least it would solve the problem of the entire race being Adam and Eved by Jen and Kira. The proposed sequel was going to show as much with the Firelings as a deep underground adapted offshoot of the Gelflings. Elements of the screenplay would be adapted into Age of Resistance. Deet's people weren't as deep living, nor were they changed by the Crystal to survive molten environments. The idea of small pockets of Gelflings surviving, isolated and hidden from the Skeksis as Jen and Kira were, waiting for a time when they would no longer be hunted for essence? Whelp, not gonna happen now, or rather we're back to the only known outcome being near total genocide except for two survivors. And technically died and was resurrected by the Crystal.
>>96848466There was a comic based on the proposed sequel. I don't know how close to the screenplay it was, though. The setup was honestly pretty depressing with how things turned out for Gelfling society, plus the plot NATURALLY had to involve Skeksis and Mystics being brought back as if they were somehow still living in the crystal as opposed to having gone back into space or wherever they were from originally. But I do recall it had some cute winged Gelfling spec ops chicks serving in the Gelfling military they all died gruesome deaths.
>>96848419Yes it was, but that we got a season of puppet kino at all from garbage Netflix is a small miracle on it's own.
>>96848508Name of comic?
>>96848419It was super necessary, hummmmm?
>>96834091>Do Gelflings count as Elves?No, they count as Gelflings.>Halflings?No, Gelflings.>What would you classify them as?As humanoids (Gelfling).

>>96852306There's a sequel comic to this but I haven't read it so I can't attest to its quality.https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Jim-Henson-s-Beneath-the-Dark-CrystalBack when Age of Resistance came out there was some interest here in playing games based on it, and of course there have been some over the years. Sadly I don't have any experience with them. I have an interest in the setting, especially AOR's world building, but sadly I couldn't get enough interest among my usual players.
>>96835858There is a Dark Crystal RPG book, and it's perfectly valid to ask if they're analogous to a DND race for their traditional game.>>96849153I've spoken with some people who work at the Jim Henson Company. A lot of people there are still bummed out about this, they really wanted to do more.
>>96856052I remember seeing some old pewter figures for them on ebay ages ago. Checked today and there's still some, and they're expensive as shit. I assume they came from an older RPG.
>>96856094
>>96856052Should have made the gelflings less uncanny
>>96834091A mix of Gelfing, child of the forest and Orphans from a wargame called zenith is how my "halfings" are, they are basically a race of Lost boys of Peter Pan, normally linked to Gea/Mother earth, tough lots of independent tribes exist. Fae lords use them as infantery and workers for they stuff, and they are taller than halfings, being basically Pigmies but slender, +2 dex, -2con, they are very agile and strong for they size, but quite squishy.

>>96848419Seladon still needed to sacrifoce herself for all her bullshit.And I guess they were hinting about something big with Deet. Maybe they should just have tied a few loose ends instead of counting on a next season.
