[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4591182, member: 2067"] Here is my advice: FRIGGIN' DO IT. If you know your players, and know what they like to play, take away their security blanket and give them things that take it in a new direction. People like playing elves? Rip 'em out, replace them with forest-dwelling monkeys (like the Vanara from OA). People like playing dwarves? They are gone, but now you can play giants who lurk in the misty peaks (like the WotC giant-race). As long as your race choices mesh up with the Five Man Band (The Hero, the Lancer, the Smart One, the Big One, and the Team Mom...see TV Tropes) you'll have your major bases covered. Seriously, take them out of their comfort zone. If they're too scared of a different flavor of magical imaginary being, you can always go back or work out some sort of accommodation (sure, you can play a halfling, but you are the only one in existence, and you were sold to the circus by your destitute human parents). But no one gained much of anything in boring-old Samesville. [/QUOTE]
