that is such a wonderful character trait. I may have to steal it.
You know, the new races (dragonborn and tiefling) really didn't appeal to me much initially. So I flipped through the books looking for some kind of inspiration on how I'd play one, and it turned out to be their teeth. "Ok, what sort of diet would a creature be on with teeth like that?" Grew from there. Could make for fun PC conversations. "Oh, don't look like so worried. I've already tried elf."
If ever I create a tiefling, he's going to be Victor Meldrew in a Halloween mask. Apparently my flavour of emo is geriatric and pissy.
That is a great character description.
It inspires me to quote from "Avatar": That's pretty much all I got...meat and sarcasm guy.
Except dragonborn probably don't do sarcasm.
It also reminds me of a conversation I had third-hand about 10 years ago: my friend's brother was a scientist in Antarctica, and a couple new scientists arrived from [country deleted for the protection of all involved]. The first thing they did was go out and kill two penguins (emperor I believe). When the other scientists found out and reacted with "WTF?!?!?" the two newcomers said, "But...we've never eaten penguin before."
Ha ha ha ha. A fair trade.
This is a long shot, but does anyone happen to have a copy of the Super Mage Bestiary from Hero Games?
I can check with my friend the crazy game/book collector. Are you looking to buy?
Actually I found a source for an e-book version and bought it yesterday before I saw your post. But thanks for the offer of checking!
One of the video games I'm looking forward to is Little Big Planet. It's a very very cute family-friendly game that is pretty much the antithesis of what I usually like to play but i fin myself utterly charmed by it.
Anyway, here's a video which shows the introduction to the game. Image quality is so-so but I'm posting it because the narrator is Stephen Fry and there's a distinctly Fay-like comment of "Oh, Bless." a few minutes in.

I believe this video can only make you smile.
Yeah, LBP is pretty much just ridiculously cute. (Adorable, even!) I've been sucking up all the various videos even before I knew Stephen Fry was involved -- aside from the OMGCUTE, it actually looks like it's got some nice platforming and building stuff elements, which I love when I'm not otherwise occupied with bashing at things.
