gnomes suck.

nobody ever even considers playing them, and i don't make npc gnomes.

there isn't even a significant gnome population in my world.

they suck. they should stick to doing commercials for travelocity.

You know, this thread is that old I never noticed that AV.. I think it may be new...

As a woman I don't take offense, not really, but I'm a unique case.

This thread and one or two others really kicked up a storm a while back!

My cat's mildly offended...but that might just be wind !

I've never used Drow in my campaigns. They've been mentioned as being there
but never encountered.. never really thought out why.. just didnt take to them
as a choice.

The fantasy novels involving Drow like those by RASalvator is it ? always gave
me the impression of a huge organised civilisation that the humble adventurer
would be wise to avoid contact with I guess.

Its something to re read up on though cheers :read:

Yep its still going... Strong as well!

So thinking, I wouldn't play an Orc or Goblin etc, Many of the humanoid races are based on us, but the Orcs etc seem to be based on some nomadic tribe from the Amazon! (exaggerating I know, but you get the idea)

I could never see myself playing such a creature, maybe I know my limits? I can do an Orc as an NPC monster, but to immerse yourself in that character is beyond me.

And halflings. They've never done anything important. They are a race waiting to be enslaved.
Read my mind. I was just hatin on keeblers earlier today. Tolkien gave them mainstream fame. Gary Gygax gave them level caps.

And halflings give paladins something to protect and half-orc pc's something to eat.

Yup! Gnomes are making a comeback in my new world too ;)

Jungle Gnomes are really cool... gonna have some really cool background / history and famous NPC's as well. It's all about the DM again... shitty DM = shitty npcs, which = shitty world

Actually those Tech-gnomes were cool. Let me bring some science into the realms.

I hate those Quallan tho. Fiend Folio, not 3+ed, the old one. Know their called foulspawn berserker or something.

Can't find the old Folio in pdf anywhere yet. 2HD 8'tall. Chaos tribesman that make you attack shit randomly while they pop your first character's-ever head off with a homemade sword.

I rezzed, came back and they did it again.

Hate them guys. Well actually a girl killed me.

Beach.
