What are the Races in Your Game

[scorpionfolke]

Like the title says, what are your C&C races for your campaign?

Have you converted something from another product?

What are your changes to the "standard" races?

I love having serveral choices to offer my players as characters & me as npcs to interact w/the players (its fun to have something that looks like a hunched-back scorpion shouting "GLORY TO BANE!"
Currently I'm working on two bug inspired races; the Nhandu (a medium sized spider w/a love of art {these are pretty much adapted from Silverthorne Games Dalnoy}) & a as yet to be named scorpion race (who are lovers of both arcane & divine magic).

Also in the works is a race based on a model from Ral-Partha(from way back in the '80s) called a saurian; it looks like a barely large sized t-rex or allosaurus w/usable arms & hands (the model is wielding a scimitar)

I will probably have a a feline race (like the Rahkasa(sp) from the Isle of Dread & Expert D&D set from "back in the day) & a wolf like one (like the Lupin----anyone remember what dragon the Rakasta(sp) & Lupin are in?).

Half-Ogres will make an appearance---Half orcs are there as well, though, somewhat different as orcs' (In My World; IMW dor future refernce) physical characteristics are based on several animals (they could have a cats muzzle, reptillian eyes, ram horns, hooves for feet, tails, etc...the chieftans would have physical attacks that can use like gore, bite, claw, etc...

I also have a few "subraces" of the standard group.

I find alot of the fun is involved in making the cultures of the races from goverment set-up to what forms their money takes
Please share yours!

Thanks!

I also posted this @ ENWorld trying to get as much info as i can [I/]

Added tiefling and aaracockra, but just to say so, because my games favor humans, with all other races remaining rare. I mean, other races are there mostly to make NPCs.

Nothing weird for me; just dwarves, elves, hobbits, and humans.

Same for me. I run in Karameikos, so I prefer to avoid half-elf and half-orc as PC options (just to be in keeping with the old B/X feel). Gnomes are there (Highforge) but I prefer them as an NPC race too.

[hoMonkulus]

I have cut out half-orcs, elves (as written), and halflings from my home-brew, which I have just started to think through. Essentially, I'm using races (among other things) to reflect a different kind of fantasy world, which is really only half-baked right now; if I ever do get it into a readable form I may post it up here.

Instead I use half-hobgoblins (sil-karg) from Kalamar--haven't figured out the stats yet. I'm also going to ditch C&C gnomes as written and do a 3.x gnome conversion. I'm going to re-do elves and call them something else.

[serleran]

PHB lists, and, if someone really, really, truly wants something bizarre, then I'll consider creating it. I've done ogre, lizardman, goblin, satyr, and some others, but I prefer to just use the PHB lists, and modify them (like making it more "Classic.")

[Omote]

Nothing out of the ordinary here either. I'm not sure what it is, but I love playing in what many consider the "standard fantasy world" populated by the standard fantasy races.
