Sorry about the artifact in the first line
Dungeon Meshi is an anime that’s pretty close to your default D&D setting, but with more food focus over epic quests and battles (which are still there). There are 2 human fighters in the show, and both of them are their own flavor of extremely weird and original.
When I left the cesspool of shit that Reddit became, I didn’t miss much. Only two subreddits still make me think about going back. One is /r/HFY (Humanity, Fuck Yeah) which is full of stories of humans being fucking amazing and scary to other races.
I still follow a few HFY creators via RSS
Can you link the feeds?
For some people, “normal human but with fantastic (class-based) capabilities” is exactly the kind of fantasy they want to live. Not me though, I’m gonna make a halfling paladin and name her Fazzy Mentan.
This is not that far off from the Tumblr threads about Humans being space orcs or Humans in Star Trek being the most dangerous and unpredictable race.
Love playing humans. The answer to your problem isn’t on your character sheet, it’s in the world. Poke things with sticks, throw dust in the air, tinker.
Yes I hate 5e and refuse to run it.
