My answer is yes. I've done it in Star Wars, Star Trek and 1st edition AD&D.

Gawd bless America. And Tatooine.

The assertion was that, IMHO, to make a blanket statement like, "All campaigns are like this. All elves are like this. All dwarves feel this way about that." is indeed limiting. To think that every GM and player has to have them act the way yours do is silly. I tend to dislike blanket statements...

Interesting. I'd be curious to know how that works. Elves in my campaigns still live a really, really long time, with each subsequent generation actually living shorter life span. Currently they live about 750-800 years on average. Wood Elves have been known to reach 1000. The first Elves were...

The concept is indeed a strong one in both history and literature and can be a great element of a campaign. my problem is with those who seem to feel, think or believe it is the only element. If there is purpose and a story behind the demise of the Elven people and their nations, awesome. If...

Ah! There we go, back on track! :D What I was talking about had to do with creating an interest background, culture and personality for your races. My Elves are basically RAW...stat wise at least. They don't differ from the Elves in hundreds, maybe thousands of other campaigns. But the point...

I have a love/hate relationship with "Monster Ecologies". While amny of the articles over the years have been fun, interesting and well written, the idea that certain magically creatures even have an ecology bugs me. The Will o' Wisp? To this day, after 30 years of gaming, my players don't know...

The yes/no option is tough but... I have a set of Settings. I usually place my campaigns in one of two or three campaign worlds, though I will create new worlds often for campaigns demanding a flavor or atmosphere that it not consistant with what I've already developed.

Not my point. Your mentioning my line without understanding it. I am advicating diversity. Are you saying that a complete lack of diversity in living, intelligent beings is realistic? And I disagree, while they may be different species, they are still people with individual minds and seperate...

Thank you Shark, as always you see more then one side of a given idea. I'm on that other thread and I'll admit to having certain elements of the subject push my buttons, which is no small feet since the button are only for show and don't really activate anything (it's just set decoration after...

OK fair warning...this will get a bit ranty... Only if you go with the ideas used in every other boring, copycat, standardized series. I don't do that. I don't mean to be antagonistic or fecisous but try thinking outside the box. Bear in mind that box is very, very old. Why would Dwarves...

Continued... The Lords and Ladies united for a great meeting where it was decided they would follow a legend told to them by the young races. In the great Northeastern Sea was an island with a Dragon of power beyond imagining. On the way there, the Lord of Dark Places was discovered to have...

The Green Adam's Elves OK, I have permission from my ex-wife to give the low down on my Elves (necessary in my opinion since she was the catalyst for much of my development of that race in my world). Names have been changed to protect the copyright, lol... A Brief History of the Elves As a...

Logan. :p

The way things are set up in your game? 'Cause it doesn't work like that in my campaigns. It doesn't work like that in my campaigns. It hasn't for over 20 years. I only award points for creatively defeating a difficult opponent. Hacking Orcs just makes you not dead from them hacking you. Not...

I don't allow raise dead in the traditional sense. In my campaign worlds all the spell does is reunite the spirit with the body if the spirit can return from the realms of the afterlife. If a dead character wants to come back to the land of the living, he or she must undertake a side quest...

I don't know if I would play one or not. Like many of the early comments, I'm not certain I see why they are the way are or rather, what you mean to do by making the elves this way. My last three campaigns (which were related to each other) were largely Elf-centric. The idea was that after the...

Storm Gulls Dungeons and Dragons, Various Homebrew Worlds A species of bird often seen along the western coastline of the largest of the eastern continents. These deep-to-medium gray seagulls appear right before and right after natural storms to hunt various fish who feed in the churned waters...

Ah names... My D&D campaigns have very complicated naming conventions unique to each species and sub-race. This enables us to come up with cool names fairly quickly. See if you can figure them out. I'll do a few now... High Elves Jorin-Nol Stormtender, Male Jira-Fee Rainwander, Female...

I had two thoughts... 1) Rule the world 2) Not the same thing my girlfriend and I would use it for I assure you. :lol:
