[QUOTE="thundershot, post: 3004573, member: 628"] I've currently been testing a non-human environment in my campaign. Beyond the ocean to the south has been a veil of mists from which no ship has returned. The party was caught up in a storm that caused them to enter the mists... and they ended up in my version of "Dinopirates on Ninja Island... and monkeys and robots!" A chain of hidden islands that for their own empire, but there are NO HUMANS. There are also none of the other common races either (or most of the common classes), so when my group encountered them for the first time, they had no idea what humans were and treated them as monsters. The core race is Vanara, with various Dinofolk (until I come up with a more creative name, but they're dinosaurs with the anthro template from Advanced Bestiary) and Warforged. One of the core classes is the Artificer, and firearms are common. It was fun and definitely a culture shock on both sides... They ended up returning home in an airship (also unheard of in the mian land)... though they haven't found out why they're the only ones to return yet... I'm sure they'll be going back there because of a few plot hooks I left them, and eventually, I want to START a 1st level group based on the islands.. But yeah, no humans... it was weird, but it worked, I think. Chris [/QUOTE]
