I feel like elves should follow this ancient greek thinking of a sound mind in a sound body, and value a disciplined, learned mind as much as a strong, fit, agile body. Peak elfen masculinity would probably be the warrior-poet, warrior-scholar. Someone that beats their opponent in a swordfight and immediately composes some poem to make fun of them.
They would also probably value discipline and honing your skills over a long time. And self-sufficiency, being able to go innawoods any time and live off the land.
Peak elfen masculinity is probably also having cool magical buddies, or a fantastic, powerful mount like a griffin or dragon.
Or maybe peak elfen masculinity is being some powerful elfen lord cackling with magical energy and being able to swiftly decapitate an orc before he can blink. Elfen boys probably have these powerfantasies.

Which of these scenarios sounds more interesting and realistic from a narrative standpoint?
>female Drow Ranger is sent by her Matriarch up to the surface to lead a band of marauders in search of a magical forge that will assist the clan in battling a god-level menace that the Matriarch had received a prophecy regarding. This also serves the purpose of removing a scheming underling and her lackeys from the political game for the time being.
>male Drow Wizard receives a prophecy from Lolth foretelling the coming of a god-level threat to the Drow, and is ignored by his Matriarch when he goes to her for aid. He decides to take matters into his own hand, assembles a war band, and begins raiding on the surface, looking to secure a lost magical forge and other resources that will allow him to fight this menace.
>>
>>97476108
The latter, it has intergroup conflict and more potential for conflict with the same matriarch (and other Lolth drow) along the line.
The first one may also have this with the scheming underlings, but it's a lot more interesting in the second idea.

I personally really like the Hentai idea of making elves all women with both sexual and non-sexual reproduction methods.
>>
>>97476523
Humans procreate strictly through a biological process.
Elves procreation relies on a spiritual component.
There aren't always enough elven spirits to form new elven souls, so they're basically fertile/sterile after a while.
Maybe they can increase the amount of elven spirits in various ways to increase their numbers.
Untouched nature could be related to that.
Dark elves do it in more heretical ways.

No it isn't. That's a reminder that your children are going to die soon. That's the last thing a parent wants to see.

Shorter lived species tend to have faster reproductive cycles and since adaptation is through mutations, the more generations you go through, the faster you adapt. If it takes decades or centuries for an elf to mature, humans can go through generations in that time.
>I haven't read a good reason as to why elves that are otherwise human-like (so not fae or something) don't have kids.
Same, but for places like South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, etc.

So you are just namedropping shit and hoping it sticks?
Tolkien's elves age different, they indeed age physically slower, but mentally faster than humans. Elfen babies can speak full sentences after a couple of months.
D&D flipflopped about this topic, it can depend on the edition and writer. But for many editions, including the current, they age physically as quickly as humans, but they have a different understanding of adulthood. It's cultural, not physical or biological.

Ability to speak does not translate to sexual maturity.
>but they have a different understanding of adulthood. It's cultural, not physical or biological.
Unless you're saying they're banging what they consider children for the purpose of procreation, it'd stand to reason once more that they reproduce slower than humans.
>>
>>97476899
That's the topic? Yeah sure, they fuck less. That's often the case. It's also not outright necessary when your people can live so much longer and remain productive and healthy. Their population can still maintain healthy levels because of that.
Elves staying kids for decades remains a meme more often than not.

This adaptability argument by the HFY-tards is such a weird cope on several levels for different reasons.
In many settings, elves and humans aren't the result of natural evolution, but were created or uplifted in some way. Once that was done, natural selection applies, but often in a short time span. Most settings only have some thousands of years of history, not millions like our human race.
Furthermore, evolution is not a one-way road to better and more adaptable designs. This is not how it works. If that were the case, then rats would already outcompete us. Some animals occupy niches, and some others are so well-adapted that they barely change for hundreds of millions of years (some sharks, famously).
Also, while the idea that more evolution equals more progress is admirable, it's not always the case and you can develop wrongly, end in dead-ends or create environments that benefit the wrong kind of natural selection.
Furtherfurthermore, as >>97476895 pointed out, different elf races, cultures and ethnicities are plenty in their respective fantasy settings. Not just on a cultural level or ethnical level. I don't see elves having any trouble getting through various stages of life, adopting to new environments, living off the grid for some decades, then become a city slacker for the next decade, explore unknown lands for a century and then go back be a family man. Elves are often very able to adapt themselves to their environment (instead the other way around). They don't need another generation for that.
Often, their stagnation is either the result of a long, tired history and civilization (something that can befall any civilization), or a deliberate choice (the primitive wood elfen kind often does this).

Human diversity's kind of a touchy subject that's tough to actually find out any real information on that's accessible. I could find some medical stuff about how black people need different medications and their hair's different than my cracker hair, but I don't think there's really any good information about how, say, I could be different from a human of two thousand years ago or four thousand years ago.
I mean, I look at horses and dogs and how you can have a Clydesdale and an Arabian, or a Great Dane and a Pug. But the commonly pushed narrative is that there's no difference between me and someone living in another hemisphere or on the literal other side of the world beyond what's "socially constructed."

I think Anon was referring to the evolution of human society, not the evolution of humans as biological beings. Elves, as a species that, while visually and intellectually superior to humanity, pays for this with low reproduction (as we see in nature). Whether this is due to a reproductive quirk or a social factor, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that we have a characteristic: elven generations change slowly. This leads to elven society becoming rigid; they are slower to create and implement innovations, experience disasters (like wars) much more painfully, and are much slower to conquer new territories.
Humanity, in contrast, changes generations more quickly than elves. So, if we assume that an elven infant becomes an elven adult in a hundred years, then in the same timeframe, humans would have at least three generations, each of which could produce great geniuses who would bring new innovations that would be implemented, and the population itself could increase fivefold, or perhaps even more.
And at the same time, thanks to writing and the culture of knowledge transfer (often even by force), knowledge will accumulate very quickly and it will be extremely diverse due to the large number of different geniuses.
Even your example with the rats is indicative, because rats, although they do not have society or any other strong traits, in fact, thrive.

this is completely consistent with a lot of elf descriptions from settings that also have a ton of different elf subraces, but they never explain how the two facts fit together. If anything elves should have the least subraces and unique cultures.

Two hypotheses come to my mind:
1. Elves are an extremely ancient species, which is why over hundreds of thousands of years some groups have split and changed genetically, which could have been facilitated by magical influence, which accelerated the mutation of the genome, or direct intervention.
2. Elves are an artificial species, and the ones who fought may also be artificially created.
I like the first option better.

NPC elf. One arc of the campaign had the party dealing with the season-themed nieces (and nephew) of a more important villain. The whole idea was that the villain was trying to marry one or more of them off at a party she also invited the pcs to, and the pcs could get to know the nieces to try to get them to turn on their villain aunt. The only ones they really tried to get on their sides though were the spring and autumn ones, though the winter one was never really much of an issue anyway

So for reference, the villain (pictured) was a duchess who was on the cusp of becoming a god and got overconfident that she would cross the threshold. The PCs ended up killing her in a boss fight and running off to deal with another issue. One of the PCs went back to the area later to find out all the rest of the elven kingdom was setting fire to the castle. He then helped the nieces abdicate while the nephew stayed behind to take over (it didn't effect the campaign after that but had repercussions down the line because he turned the place into a monster sanctuary)

Makes for a more interesting villain than "this evil guy shows up with some spiders" and gives me a faction with motivations I can play off the others in the region.

Depends on the setting, the elves in question, the firearms technology, who develops it, the availability of the firearms and their tech, and pretty much whatever you want.
So, tell us about the technology in your game for us to gauge if the elves of your system would adopt them in your campaign.

From what I can gather the setting of Frieren is far away from some not-even-historical brown and grey medieval shithole. Some of the smaller towns and villagers sure, but everywhere else seems closer to Renaissance. And then when you include magic into the mix, it doesn't feel as strange.

That is one tall elf lady. How would things have gone if she did become a god? I presume not great if the party decided to kill her, unless they just sorta went with the flow and ended up killing her rather than being strongly resolved to do so.
Seems kinda funny they had the nieces abdicate after befriending two of them, and then only to hand it off to this weirdo nephew lol.

Not the tallest elves in my setting can get by far. My settings elves are tree people and their height is 1/6th (female) or 1/7th (male) the height of the tree they descend from. The shortest elves are like an inch tall, including flower elves and some extreme examples; the tallest are about 45 feet tall.
>How would things have gone if she did become a god?
Her becoming a god wasnt an issue itself, though she was a weirdo who would invade peoples dreams to cause nightmares, and her becoming a god of nightmares would allow her a lot more control over them. The real problem was she was working with the main villain of the campaign to start an intercontinental war, and her getting the massive power boost of becoming a god would have made things potentially a lot tougher
The thing with the nieces is that none of them were really fit to rule. one of them was just shy and spacy (and ended up later becoming the equivalent to santa), one was a ditz who just enjoyed making money and causing trouble, and one was just straight up evil - potentially moreso than the aunt.

haven't you heard? neanderthals are alive and well. we call them EVERYONE FROM EUROPE. that's who the neanderthals turned into. whites.
its the africans who are what the supposedly 'more evolved' cro-magnon turned into.
and the denisovans are still with us too. we just call them 'asian' now.
a whole bunch of what we USED to think is dead wrong, and being actively NEWSPEAKED and fucking WRONGTHINKED if you DARE to correct it.
we are in fact, entirely different kinds of humans. europeans have almost zero cromagnon, africans almost zero neanderthal, etc.... and the only way to explain that is if we ARE seperate human races.
what we cannot explain yet, is why the supposedly 'more' evolved africans... have such crappy brains and cannot even be called 'sentient' in a lot of cases. its a fucking mystery.

Damn, they're that bad huh?
My City of Brass game went well, new player and character introduction and the journey across the ocean. It was mainly RP overall, and I'd say in general as a whole the group was more talkative. I could definitely have seen some groups where they all would have wanted to do something "more" at every single stop along the journey but I think it was a good balance. Snakeman player was still pretty passive, though he said his barbarian would help out with labor on the ship. Ended up being surprised that he got a share of pay. The player was disappointed that he didn't get to fight pirates (he has the incorrect assumption the journey on the sea is over, I think).
Worked out well though. Group getting to know a new player, and the party a new potential ally so they have a solid rapport after a seven month long journey. Next session though? Shit is hitting the fan, cause now they are in Prime Cult Territory. Storms, rough seas, doldrums and heatwaves all influenced by the Sultan of Efreet's power. Pirates, siren, sahuagin, sea serpents, sea chimera and at least one possible encounter of an efreeti sent to harass the ship.
And that's all between the actual islands of the inner sea, which have more detailed adventures. Gonna be fun.

Blood Elves had the green eyes because they relied so heavily on fel magic for a while. At this point in the lore of Warcraft, the Sunwell has been powered by the sacrifice of a Naaru and so most Blood Elves are hyped up on holy juice. Characters in-game have had the option of using a golden glow for a while.

Many artists probably know enough about swords to draw them realistic if they want to, either paying more attention to them or simply through exposure.
Far less people care about archery or how bows work.It's also more difficult to fuck up drawing a bow, since there is only so much you can change about it
Artists love giving them these little protrusions on both ends of the middle grip, though, or draw fancy, elaborate limbs.

Can't disagree more. Bows have become dreadful with ever increasing vidya artists.
Arrows without nocks to me is like drawing a gun without a barrel. It baffles me how can someone aim to be a professional artist without researched a subject they're drawing. I teach young artists as part time and getting them to develop a habit of researching stuff is one of the hardest things to do.

Pic unrelated, the fact that the artist added these tufts whose correct name escapes me. They are supposed to make the bow quieter when losing the arrow.
As awannabe writerI know having to research a topic while supposedly writing is something you should avoid, as it stops the flow. But you have the benefit of being able to go back to a chapter and rework it or add elements later.

Not really. Especially not when you're working on a bigger project like a comic or an animation. Yes editing is easier to a degree but it severely slows down a project.
There is also a huge lack of variety when it comes to archery art. Archery styles, bow sizes, shooting positions, nocking techniques, quivers, arrow sizes...it's just sad that we have all this creativity around various melee styles and techniques represented but rarely do we ever see any variations on archery.

I guess that is also not where you have the benefit of going back to previous chapters often, since this work is more fast-paced. When you write novels, it tends to take a bit longer.And with self-publishing, I can go back to already published books and edit things, as long as the numbers of pages doesn't change for the physical book, it's all fine
>it's just sad that we have all this creativity around various melee styles and techniques represented but rarely do we ever see any variations on archery

I think it's just general worship or melee heroes combined with prevalence of olympicslop archery. I have started seeing a surge in archery clubs at least here in the balkans that don't focus on oly archery but more research of historicals or HEMA stuff.

Its been fun to consider some of the concerns of archery. My Sun Bow is being used by a Werewolf so its pretty fuckin big, and the arrows large enough to count as stakes for the vampires. So enough strength to actually use it outside of Crinos/Warrior form was needed lol. There is magic for bringing it around without having to carry it, where it becomes something like a magic tattoo in the forms for travelling like Lupus/wolf form.
However we spend a fair bit of time in human form for investigation obviously. So I decided a custom extra large cello case would probably be my best bet rather than just carry a fuckhuge bow around lol. You don't want to draw too much attention, break the veil or as the leeches would say don't break the masquerade.
The Silent Striders is his tribe and they have an egyptian theme so in Crinos form he basically looks like fucking Anubis, with a glowing golden bow shooting flaming arrows. Now if I could just find a magic chariot...

>The pic posted wasn't remotely close to your pic noldorfag
It's a caricature. A hyperbole. It makes fun of pornographic depictions of elves by exaggerating the features even further.
And yes, the pic I pointed out is "remotely close". Those are not even normal human-sized tits.
If only you faggot chronic masturbators would post some good art of female elves instead of these pornographic bimbos. It's such a fucking shame. This is /tg/, not /e/ or /aco/.

It's good, but hugely overrated. Pretty, but barely animated. People like the story because it's an honest fantasy tale, and that it really is, but there is ultimately not more to it. What are its themes, what is the message? Maybe I just forgot.
A large chunk of the characters fuck off and become worthless. The romance between Parn and Deedlit is artificial and comes out of nowhere. I give it to the Pirofags, she and Ashram have better chemistry. Parn is also unreasonable jerked off for the longest part of the story while Deedlit saved his ass multiple times.
It's ages ago that I watched it, but those are what I remember.
If you love RoLW, then that's great. Not going to take that away from you. I think it's good and that's it.

Being so dishonest doesn't help your point.
No, that's an argument you made up. I never said that.
I specifically pointed at that pic in particular because of the comically (un-elfen) large-sized tits.
By the way, I would have done the same thing about a ginormous monstrous arse or in general with any massive amounts of bodyfat on an elf, for the sake of a pornographic depiction.

If anything that makes sense, elves are supposed to be longer living and more evolved in a lot of ways, it's fitting for them to kinda not care about acting childish in front of humans, it's like if a random ant saw you have a breakdown over something, what do you care, the ant's not able to do anything with it cuz in a month it'll be dead, same way an immortal elf probably thinks ''why do I care, the human's gonna be dead in 100 years and this will all be forgotten''

Very few things in this world are more than GOOD. HONEST and GOOD are the best praise I can give anything. The themes and message are to be a fantasy adventure. To have some wonder and imagination. And this why things are remembered. Not because some hack writer has something to say about nothing or because some retarded section of a fanbase want to force in something that isn't there. You sound like a pretentious tit. I don't know when this started but there's been a real drive to dry and downplay things that were remembered from the past.

>endures
nobody cares about it aside from a select few
I wouldn't say it 'endured' as 'stuck ina few minds because they cling to it', like gum underneath a shoe
you sound assblasted that somebody doesn't like what you like instead of arguing why it is actually good and not simply some random dude's rpg session brought to paper

Sorta, they aren't terribly complicated since this is for 5e (well written for Swords & Wizardry then they converted it) so it's mostly fucking with supplies or saving to avoid something bad happening. I'm not sure whether the Rough Seas one is too extreme of a check or not.
>Heatwave: The Sultan causes a heatwave to strike the ship, doubling the consumption of water and causing discomfort among the crew, which increases travel time by 1d4 days. Water may run out, forcing a stop at the nearest port or island.
>Rough Seas: Rough seas erupt around the ship due to the Sultan exerting his powers over the temperature of the waters. Characters must make a successful DC 18 Dexterity or Strength saving throw or be tossed overboard along with 1d4 crew members. They must be saved within 1d4 rounds or be lost at sea and drown. If the ship suffers a loss of more than half of its crew, there is a 50% chance of mutiny. Regardless of mutiny, the ship adds 1d6 days to its travel time due to the difficulties of running the vessel with a reduced crew.
>Storm: A rough storm erupts due to the Sultan meddling with the weather over the Sea of Baal. The captain must make a successful DC 15 Intelligence check with navigator’s tools or the ship runs aground and is damaged on one of the detailed islands in the chain. The storm also has the same effects as the rough seas event.
>Doldrums: The winds die completely, requiring the use of twice the provisions and water by rowers. This lasts for 2d6 days.
