Episode 230: Elves in RPGs, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene

In this episode Saul and Jolene discuss Elves in RPGs. From how they are portrayed in books, myth and popular culture. Some GMs ban players from playing Elves for various reasons. Playing Elves has been a popular race/culture to play since Original D&D was published in 1974. Saul and Jolene discuss where the idea of Elves comes from and how they became a mainstay of many fantasy roleplaying games. But why would playing an Elf be so difficult or why would certain GMs ban players some playing an Elf in their games. Saul thinks it has to do with the Tolkien idea of how Elves are, from their immortality, to their almost divine nature that they are so different from humans that it would be very difficult to play a Tolkienesque Elf.
