I’m building a new homebrew world for Pathfinder (D&D 3.75) and the Gnomes have a smaller population than any other race and segregate in their own areas, including Gnometown in the city of Trademeet. They don’t have their own nation as such.
Some Gnomes (aka the Gnome Mafia)
The closest they have to a protective organization. Some Gnomes might hire adventurers or take care of the problem themselves. Whether this is an actual organization or just a bunch of local Gnomes who happen to join up to deal with an issue is left as a GM exercise. In my game, it is a cultural/societal thing where those with power take the responsibility for taking care of others, as they have no government of any type. A non-Gnome asking a Gnome to direct or introduce them to “Some Gnomes” will most certainly be mirthfully directed to some neighbor they don’t like.
As in “Gosh, Some Gnomes might take an interest in that.”
Because back in the day such things were more socially acceptable and women didn’t really have an forum to complain about it or get society to change. Now we’re in the process of making those changes.
I got a question, do I have priviledge? Being raised by a single mother and not haven’t had a friend technically in almost 11 year’s? Me being still socially rejected?
I know I am making some bold statements and on the other hand I do want to fight my ignorance.
I tried to pick a generic activity. This introvert prefers to play guitar badly or hop on my bicycle or go for a hike with the wife and dog. That many choices definitely means I’m probably more empowered than others!
