First off, I'd like to thank you, NP, for the most interesting thread I've seen on this board, possibly ever. Thank you for keeping it thoughtful, on-topic and civil in the face of all responses.
I agree. Indeed, until I read Rich's first two responses to this thread, it would never have occurred to me to call it "satire" at all. I had taken it, and will continue to read it, for a thoughtful, if sometimes meandering, essay on the implications of the alignment system in general. Oh, and a great adventure story.
And it still seems to me that a pure "anti-racist" agenda doesn't work in a D&D settings, because there really are differences between the races that can't just be ignored. The leaders of any human or elvish country that allows Gobbotopia to exist in its present form, I would say, are grossly neglecting their duty. They're betraying their own children, and I don't see how you can get much more Evil than that.
