That is kinda what I meant. It would be specific dyes made for the hounds. The hounds' fur will change depending on where their packs are based - husky-like if in the frozen wastes, red from somewhere else, maybe an earth-tone for plains. I believe that each race will have culture that has...

Update! I started looking around for what I thought would be fun, interesting, and different. When looking through the 3.5 Monster Manual (the first one), I ran over the picture of the Hound Archon. Now, I know that in NWN, if you had the right setup, you could summon these and they kicked...

Hi all- The community has been great in helping me with other dilemmas so I thought I would bring this question/idea to the boards (hopefully I didn't miss another post about it). We are trying to make our own campaign world, and we wanted to start with creating the layout of the land (a map)...

Thank you for the examples. Those actually helped me to get a clearer picture of what I wanted to attempt with my races! Now I just have to decide which ones I want.

I just wrote down the references everyone just listed, like Dark Sun, Glorantha, and RIFTS and are going to check them out, one by one, to see what I can find. Will be back after that.

I think, after dwelling on it today, that might be close to what I feel. It isn't so much that I don't like those races, but, except for maybe Dragon Age, the feeling of the classic fantasy races have gone 'cartoony'. I guess I kinda like the idea that if the idea of evolution were ever...

I have never really thought of it that way. Maybe it would be more of an effect if I take the races and alter them a little then throw the players into a world where things are different. I like the idea of having different things that are unique enough that it keeps people guessing, instead...

I brought up dragonborn because it was on the tip of my tongue. You are right about the idea of making races a little more human like. While I don't mind races that would have things like scaled skin, large ears, shorter or taller, I can't see the variation of races that would be seen in a...

Oryan, you aren't kidding about the amount of races that exist in the D&D continuum. I definitely don't want to support 35 races myself - :). I think my reason for wanting to create new is twofold. First, there is the new experience that the realm can give when the surroundings and the...

Hi all- This is a dual faceted question. The first is about the existance of varying races in fantasy settings. Do you feel that various races are needed to make a complete fantasy setting? Or are humans with various culture enough to make a fun fantasy realm? The second is this. While I...

I am looking to create my own game and looking to use either d20 or the Roll-and-Keep system. I am sure there is a bias toward d20, but outside of that, what are the pros and cons of each? I know what I think, but I am looking for outside points of view. The game is going to be skill and...
