I imagine a lot of you, like me, prefer worlds that feel more like Hyborean Earth or Nehwon than Middle Earth. When you're running these kinds of campaigns, do you prefer to require all your players to use the Human race, or do you allow the reflavoring of the demihuman races as types of humans?
For instance, do you let a player who wants to play a short debonair swashbuckler use the halfling race, flavored as a short, handsome human (or some regional ethnicity)?
Or is the preference to just have everyone use the human race stats?
Has anyone worked out rules packages for this kind of thing?
Would anyone else, like me, be interested in a UA or something providing some official rules for getting rid of demihumans while still including mechanical variety?
Or am I just overthinking all this?
