The campaign I'm putting togeth...Amen to this. The campaign I'm putting together is going to feature both Orcs and Goblins as PC races. I'm taking a cue from Eberron in fact. It has always bugged me in this genre that non-human races have no diversity. By that I mean that you can find good humans and you can run an entire campaign against evil humans. But Orcs? They're all bad. Elves? Good. Down to the last one. That never sat well with me. <br /><br />Sure, they made bad elves with the Drow, but it's a completely different race. It's like splitting humans between good and bad and calling them separate races. I prefer the Eberron approach with xenophobic Elves (who don't even get along with all the other Elves necessarily) and civilized Orcs who also just happen to be a rather ancient and formerly noble race.Todd S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10212986450069403803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-81400468582371575072010-02-10T23:15:00.627-08:002010-02-10T23:15:00.627-08:00This reminds me of our past conversation regarding...This reminds me of our past conversation regarding the adventure I'm working on. You had suggested I include a fire-pit and goblins cooking horse or human meat. I had asked if goblins eat raw meat, and you answered that they sure do but also enjoy feasting on roasted meat. I find it hard to see creatures like goblins not being treated as monsters, unless it is specified in a certain setting, that applies to player races as well...Is the Changeling in Forgotten Realms treated as just another civilized race or are they seen as dopplegangers?Victor Hurtadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254075841373767921noreply@blogger.com
