yeah most elves , if they were young, might have only shown up during the age of exploration and are only now looking forward to their retirement plan.

I've always preferred GURPS Goblins They are clever, social beings with the personality of a mad scientist and are usually the default short species of Banestorm. They were the inspiration for my work. I never could stand the "childish monsters" that Pathfinder loves to use...

Worf was also a big nerd. Data and Geordi usually sought him out when they needed a third nerd for things. In fact until ds9, he was probably known more for his tinkering then his fighting ability. Plus Nog went from a delinquent to an outstanding officer.

Yeah, adventurers should always be the exception. I'd almost do the attribute bonuses, as the old saying goes, by guidelines. You don't know where to put your attribute bonus. Here's a lazy option.

But what if the species were smarter than average (such as corvids, which are wicked smart, pass on generational knowledge, and seriously hold grudges, and that's just the birds in our world).

So it's avoid cultural stereotypes masquerading as species?

One of my recurring themes in my gaming material is "the monstrous in everyday life," where creatures that are monsters do relatively normal things (most likely because of Sesame Street), and that reflects that. I have a feeling this term refers to something completely different. I was raised...

not disagree, Just don't understand. PC species feel different and part of the reason they think differently is because of their physiology. Using my rpg concepts to try to figure it out. 1. If you play a Feylin, one of the ongoing themes is building your life around pulp culture. It creates...

The Classes & Paths of Kalyna Country blend folklore, fuel, and frying pans into playable legends. Meet Brutes, Witches, Rainmakers & more in a land where roots remember. Kalyna Country – Part 2 - Where the Roots Remember

Ha I just got my digital copy of the Smurfs RPG I'm necroing this thread to see what sort of things I should do to my PCs. :D

Yeah. At this point, unless you're actively selling something, we're doing this for the entertainment of others and ourselves. There's a good chance your work is better than the published material. So have fun and keep the creativity coming. :D

yeah It's easier to nitpick than to create. And when they say "why don't you write about your own cultures" (looks at Canada worldbuilding and Kaylna country in particular), I have. :cool: Now show me yours... ******************************** Lathoan, I'm envisioning it as a whole country...

It's more uncertain about their response and reach if you upset them with something you've written, even if unintentional.

Ooh, this is good stuff. Well done. I think fantasy China should be a melting pot, but instead of just ethnicities, species from all over the world end up in China ...and then become Chinese. I think it would be a great way to see how the culture would look through different eyes and see how...

I'm like a vampire, I need to be invited first before I go ahead with any writings. I'll consider this an invitation to proceed. :)

Since you guys are pretty good at this sort of media, I remember in the back of my head some movie that could be described as journey to the west on a train. It was about in the late 2000s ********************************* but yeah a fantasy asia should be incredibly diverse in cultures, if...

People's Republic of China.

ok question How much can you actually do when writing up a fictional China before you trigger the PRC? I've had this writeup for my own work on my hard drive for years that I was itching to post, but been hesitant to avoid ending up on a list.

well apparently they have as much common with ninjas as the samurai pizza cats, but what the hey. when you can do the truth or the legend, do the legend. :D

The thing I was told is to try to stay away from stereotypes, but honestly, some of them are awesome. One of the more fun things I read recently is that one of the larger ninja clans is located in Calgary, Alberta (where in my head canon, they feud with the Harts :p) If I ever do...
