IC: (YES another) D&D 5e tropes & fractured traditions
In reply to GreyGriffin (msg # 8):
This and the other comments above are all VERY encouraging. Forgive me for lumping them together under this reply tag. The cheeseburger and fries is exactlythe metaphor. It should be somewhat less gourmet, but still very satisfying, and most of all quick and easy.
As for the firebrathing unicorn. hehe I am guilty of those characters. I have a half-dragon centaur in a 3.5 game currently, but mainly for their strength to carry a heavy fighter. You did capture my thought though, there's a REASON for these tropes.
Moreover than PCs, the saving the innocent from a dragon does not get old, for me. Fighting big hulking giants that "aren't cannibals!" but eat people, is something I'm getting emaciated from starvation. EVERY game I play or get tapped to GM needs an atypical attention, and THAT has become the new norm.

YOU are precisely the kind of player I'm looking for. D&D 5e is still new enough. Yet many carry-over players from other iterations have somewhat cook-blocked those like yourself from enjoying what they were able to a decade or more ago. So do not fret. You are very good company. It is silly that atypical has to be the standard, with the only exception being modules.
With that said, this interest well exceeds my other idea. So I'm 90% sure I'll GM this. I do implore you, and ask you very desperately, don't forget about this pitch,please. I want to plan the campaign now that I have a group to play under me. You are welcome to quit if the game turns out less than you'd prefer, but just Rmail me if you lose interest. That way I can keep tabs on who is left.
5e is very current, so I should be able to find a group one way or the other, but I always like to make I have a group when I start the adventure work. I'll count you all as auto-accepted, so long as you don't come up with anything too bizzare, or even clearly bizarre at all. You don't have to play cookie cutter half-orc barbarians and half-elf bards though. I want that to be clear too.
