How to: Not get a special race

Post by Keikan Hiru »

... also known as "Keikans Gems"

This is a partialy humorous approach to show you what mistakes you could probably do when you apply for one of the special races.

Each of these applications were real, my answers however are not.
I just add them to fullfil the tag of being a "humorous approach", don't worry I never replied to a newbie in this way.
(Only if they read it here by chance.)

If you see one of your own applications here and want to have it removed, please send me a PM.
I'll delete it discretly.

I try to update this post as infrequently as possible and whenever I recieve something that is worth to be added.
Please don't try to fake something just to be added here.

Lets go:

Who says you can't be a heinz 57 in Illarion? Maybe once upon an orc married a fairy, and the fairy orc child grew up to mary a dwarf elf, then their child become a really ugly green short fat elf that marries a human halfling? And the result? Yea you see it by now. Guess I can understand the need for no half n halfs cause.. well.. could get confusing, and one have advantages I spose.

what's that?
It's a card game. Munchkin is another term for powergamer, and more specifically denotes the type of powergamer who will backstab his own party to get a few extra experience points. Think fourteen year old, attention deficit disorder, just newly exposed to roleplaying.

Each player has a character represented by a certain amount of cards placed in front of them (or lack thereof. a human of your own gender with no class and no equipment would be represented by no cards. But have no fear, you can change classes and even races or genders in this game by the draw of a card!) The point of the game is to get to level 10 before your friends do.

Already with the base set of cards you can have some strange combinations, but if you buy the expansion sets it gets even more wackier. For example, you could be, say, a half dark elf, half light orc, half gnome, fighter/mage/bard with freudian slippers (which allows one to change gender at will) and thanks to his mechanical arms and his two-handed sword (that literally has an extra set of hands to wield more swords!), he can carry a large arsenal of sneaky bastard swords.

Damien, Brer, and myself are the only players of Illarion I know of who own the game (and, in fact, all of us have the expansions! =) ) Damien has made Munchkin the official card game of the Illarion rl meetings in Germany.

(buy it direct from sjgames through there. sometimes they send something special or something cheap along with purchases. you can get special limited edition munchkin bookmarks that are legal to use ingame for special stuff. the rules are on the back. =) )

Well atleast they're being honest.

Most older players who want to play a special race write nice lengthy coherent reasons for why they want to play a race.

When all they're really thinking is: "Fairies are cool"

Quite true, but maybe such a person such as Keikan expects a lengthy essay about why it is cool, not just because it is.
