Full Version: Help me understand something about Metahuman cultu
The original Deadlands and the d20 version are two pretty much totally different games.
| QUOTE (Negalith) |
| Why do different metahuman cultures exist at all? I particularly have a hard time understanding metahuman kingdoms. One day everybody in the US (or whatever it was at the time) was a human US citizen. The next day something goes wacky and Billy and Sue turn into a dwarf and an elf (along with a lot of other Americans). Billy and Sure are still Billy and Sue… with somewhat altered bodies. Billy and Sues family, friends and coworkers presumably will come to see Billy the dwarf and Sue the elf as… well.. Billy and Sue.. perhaps a bit shorter / hotter. Not only do Billy and Sue become Elves and Dwarves, but so do others millions of people… many of whom are public figures who have garnered great respect and admiration over the years. I would imagine that nearly everybody would have a friend, family member or somebody they respect who became an elf or dwarf. I don’t see a lot of cause for strife. |

I think Konsaki is just describing the first stages of the next ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!

All hail Dark Lord Nurgle!
He's a heretic! Cleanse him in the name of the Emperor!

"Zombpocalypse" is easier to say.
True ... I prefer Apacabombie myself.
Bah! Zombilypse has so much more style. 
Sounds like a band name!

But if you're dyslexic you read "Zombilypse" and LOL as you think of "Bwainths......."
Even hours later, I still can't rid myself of a mental image of the half-rotten corpses of Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler frothing at the mouth as they front their all-ghoul band at Dante's Inferno.
