True. By choosing GURPS you eliminate one problem that can be well mitigated through creativity, in exchange for several that cannot be mitigated.

True. Variety is the spice of life and all that.

I can insult it. It's shit, and any fun you may think that you've gained from it was merely an illusion. If you removed the scales from your eyes you would see that the only enjoyment you had stemmed merely from spending time with your group of friends, and it would have been way better with a better system.

He's not a Mary Sue, which is the point. You could maybe get away with calling him edgy, but a perfect do no wrong character he is not. Being strong is most of what he has, and he still fucks up or gets fucked over constantly.

I basically said "Why are male human fighters interesting characters? Other races can also be interesting characters." Thus questioning the appeal of that concept. I never said that they were just a race and a class.

But please point me to the post in which I was not able to communicate that.
>>
>>47788282
By saying "why are they interesting? Other things are interesting" you are implying that make human fighters are inherently less interesting that a male fighter of literally any other race just because they're that specific race. This implies that you base how "interesting" someoneis based on what they are and not who they are.

Male human fighters are not interesting. Neither are elf wizards, halfling rogues, or whatever the fuck else anyone plays. They're only interesting if you make them interesting. Someone who knows what they're doing playing a male human fighter will be, for all intents and purposes, a more interesting character than any half-demi fae catgirl sorceress princess.

>>47788145
Last time I played there were two elf princesses, one was the spirit princess of the Moon and was completely autistic when it came to anything social and a high strung wizard who looked down on every other race. An elf ranger who would go to war with anyone who hurt nature in anyway. A lol randumb halfing cleric who rode a mule instead of a dog and held a carrot in front of its face to go anywhere. An edgy dragonborn paladin who's weapon was literally a guillotine, he would wrestle people into it and "sentence them to death" before lobbing their head off. And a not emo cloud strife warblade. I was a blacksmith.

The funny thing is in D&D humans are an interesting race. Have fun being the only person in the party without darkvision, or the only party member that needs a full nights sleep. Have fun not having any racial abilities.

>>47788399
>"Why are male human fighters interesting characters? Other races can also be interesting characters."
Why are you telling your player that he shouldn't make humans? You're saying "why make humans? You should make something else".

Also, you're a faggot.

>>47788696
There's a huge difference between dark and edgy though. Edgy is when something tries to be dark/"cool" and comes off dorky instead, like Shadow the Hedgehog and new Dante. Guts is more dark than edgy, and his character has definitely been moving away from that with the more recent arcs.
>>

This is pretty intuitive stuff, I think. But I've been wrong before.

It actually had the opposite effect on me. I realized, hey, literally no matter what I play, run, or make, random strangers on the internet will shit on me, so I might as well play whatever the fuck I want, assuming the group is okay with it.

>>47784621
If the three parameters
>race
>gender
and
>class
are the only defining traits of your character, you're not really roleplaying. Any combination of race, gender and class can make for an interesting character.
>>
>>47788727
>There's a huge difference between dark and edgy though
Not really, to me at least, though that's not the common 4chan definition. Something edgy just pushes the envelope a little more than something dark. Tons of good things are kinda edgy.
Also the new Berserk arcs aren't as good but I'd still kill to get some chapters semi-regulary.

Agreed. I feel like Miura's building up to something huge and is just dragging ass on it so hard that it kills my anticipation at this point. The story's definitely at a low transitional point leading to something better, but he just won't get over the hump and just get on with it.

The problem with Kender is a whole different one: That the whole race got modelled after the first Kender character, namely Tasslehoff Burrfoot. And now every single kender ever is a hyperactive cleptomanic comedic relief character. Sort of like in Star Wars where every Wookiee is a strong hairy tinkerer, every Hutt is a fat crime boss and every Twi'lek is a stripper slave.

I'm in a game right now that's been running for near on two years with about 10 players dropping in and out and playing characters across multiple generations.

It's not much about playing a human but about playing a Fighter. Why would you do that? It's plain up boring. It becomes slightly interesting if you have access to a lot of handbooks with tactical feats that give you the chance to do, you know, DIFFERENT ACTIONS during combat. I can't handle situations where the only thing I can do is "attack". That's why I usually play paladins or ToB martials when I want to stab something.

Or, then again, play something that isn't D&D

I've played more fighters with more personalities and with more variety to date than any other class.

If you think fighters are self-inserts clearly there's some projection there, because most inserts seem to be tailored to a person's ideal self. I know a guy that plays almost exclusively lawful stupid wizards and sorcerors and another that will not stop playing drunken dwarf types.

Personally my only insert was a human male rogue, which in fairness is 2/3, but nonetheless outside your criteria
