Sorry about the scatology, but it's true! I mean this urinal we have at work is perfectly troll sized! Have you seen anything else in your daily life that is ready for the SR future in one way or another?

Are you talking about one of those trough-style ones like they have at the baseball games? Also I suppose a troll could save some nuyen if he went to one of those "If you eat it all, its free" restaraunts. Probably not too many around in the sixth world though.

All I know is I feel for my Troll brethren, at 6'2" most cars are uncomfortable, I shudder to think how they feel.

Nope. I mean an individual 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall urinal. It's freakishly large for just one person.

The buffet would probably cost more for trolls. Sort of like charging more for adults than for children. When I run a game, trolls got it tough.

In every game I've ever played, no one seems to put enough role playing effort into how much of a pain in the butt it is to be around 1% of the population that is just that darn big. I guess I've seen overweight people who might fit into that level of inconvenience, but even 6'2" is nothing compared to what a poor troll would have to live with. |

Any chance you can give us a picture of this freakish urinal?

That's my point. I'm 4 inches taller than most of the designs are spec'd for, this includes kitchens, mass transit, counter tops, cubicles, chairs, etc. My back hurts when I try to help out around the house, because I have to hunch over for long periods. Trolls got it much worse than the orcs. who cares if you can soak anti-materiel weaponry if your day to day life sucks because everything is meant for someone 2/3rd your height.

Sorry, no digital camera. Even if I did, I'd have trouble convincing one of my co-workers to stand next to it for scale comparison :( |

You have to think that the avg. height that things are built for is going to have to go up. I mean, beyond Trolls, Elves and Orks are generally taller than humans by a good few inches, and they make up a significant percentage of the population. Plus, have you seen the % breakdown of metatypes in SoNA for the UCAS? Trolls are a whopping 7% - there are now more Trolls in the UCAS than Dwarves! :eek: That right there has got to affect things.

I can relate. I'm 6'0 and my head scrapes the roof of a lot of cars. It must suck for trolls.

I wanna know how trolls are infiltrating most corp-facilities. Sure they make great munchkins, but at 9'4" on average, there just ain't any way you're gonna be stealthy about a lot of stuff :P
How many GM's out there play up the inconvenience of being a troll inside a corp facility. Most buildings today, are built with a 8ft ceiling, 9ft on the occaision but very rare. Why? Cause it costs a lot more money everytime you're adding height to a building. I doubt many offices would spec for 10ft ceilings. Specially cause it would mean you'd have to remodel most floors of any existing building. Most Cement Ceiling are 10ft (thus giving you 2 feet in the T-Bar for all your construction stuff. Air ducts, Plumbing, Sprinklers, Electrical... I have joyful thoughts about a 9ft plus troll with a Dikoted Katana inside an office building getting screwed cause he can't even stand up straight, nevermind swing a sword. :D |

Thats why I like the combat troll with a smashing blow geased to mighty bellow. That way he just smashes through everything in his way Hulk-style!

At a local diner there's a urinal that's normal sized but positioned really high. I'm 6'2 and I still don't use it for fear of getting my balls wet.
I guess that's an elf-sized urinal or something. |

Assuming elves have long legs. They're like, 1.9 meters on average, right? That's like...6'3.

The same one who made the mouth-shaped kind? I forget where I saw those. Some news article about a place that put them in, then was asked to remove them... |

I'm 6'3" tall and a big guy. It SUCKS. I can't even get into most modern sports cars without taking off my head at the neck and setting it in my lap it seems. I have horrible posture because I have to slouch down to 6' - 6'1" to be able to sit comfortable in most place. And don't even get me started on the number of crap I bang my head into. Ceiling fans are the worst. I also wear size 16 shoes and it is IMPOSSIBLE to find shoes. I'm working right now to order a new pair and it's a pain to find something that doesn't look like I stole them from a bowling alley...and not in that cool way either.

No kidding, though I find rear hatch style doors on vans to be the worst. I think I have a permanent dent from the latch.

My high school had dwarf-sized urinals. Every restroom had one or two normal ones, and one that was mounted at roughly shin- to knee- height and maybe 1/4 the target area of a normal urinal.

The smaller area is weird, but the lower mounting is, I think, actually required by law.

Hey, I know what you're talking about. I'm 6'10" and not a basketball player. That's tough. Let me put it this way ... There are no cars at all for a troll if you base it even remotely on a normal chassis. And, strangely, the taller the car itself gets, the smaller the interior seems to become. Sprts cars ... That's something I'll never see from the inside :eek: |
