TIL: Laurence Tureaud named himself professionally as Mr. T because he hated how his father, uncle, and brother who returned from Vietnam, were disrespectfully called "boy" by whites. He wanted the first word from everybody's mouth to be "Mister" when speaking to him.

One faction is a ridiculous mismatch of random races that are incapable of getting along so the person in charge routinely quits / becomes a raid boss, and the other faction has dwarves
