Which core races have you played?
- Thread starter NewJeffCT
- Start date
In order of the number of characters I have played of each:
Elf (lots)
Human (several)
Half-elf (more than a few)
Other: Halfling (a few) -of the "Basic" hairy-footed sort, but more a la Jeff Dee's image in the "Expert of B/X" manual than "hobbitish".
Gnome (1)
...and another "Other" for a Centaur PC I had once upon a time.
I've created plenty of Dwarf NPCs but never played a dwarf, myself.

Longtooth Shifters and Warforged, multiple times.
A Dragonborn, a Goliath and, yes, a Wilden (sort of a humanoid Mothra, to me).
Also, a couple of boring (to me) old humans, but I am a fan of class adding "racial" characteristics (Sorcerer, Warden polymorphs, Battlemind psionic physical enhancement, etc).
My various AD&D characters are lost to the mists of time, though I do remember quite liking a Half-Ogre I created.

Haven't gotten to play a Water Orc, Warforged, Half-Orc (PF; NEVER EVER in 3E omg are they terrible), or Tengu (PF) yet, but probably will at some point. And I'm about to start playing a Hanara (monkey-like humanoid) soon.

Half-Elf most of the times, then Human, Eladrin, Hobgoblin, Half-Eladrin (yes), Genasi, Githzerai, Dragonborn, Shade, Vryloka and then custom ones to mimic Zendikar (MtG) ones such as Merfolk |<edition change>| Lizardfolk, Gnome, Aasimar, and who knows what else...

Was assuming by the choices in the poll you meant 4e. Had it been for the entire time I've gamed, my answer would have included a lot more races.
Looks like Eladrin don't get quite a lot of love. About the same as Dragonborn and gnomes. I'm thinking that splitting this poll by edition might be useful because I'm having a real problem believing that 52/149 voters (about 35%) of gamers have played gnomes at some point in the past 2 or 3 years of 4e.
