[QUOTE="QuietBrowser, post: 6943955, member: 6855057"] Well, that's certainly a relief! :D Every reviewer and commenter and person who's willing to stick their nose in and say "nice ideas" or ask a question is a precious resource. I ultimately decided it just made more sense to abandon any sense of gender to them and made them all hermaphrodites with a single arrangement of genitalia. There should be a googledoc link to the new version of the gazetteer somewhere in this thread, if you want to check out how it looks know. Stat-wise, I'm fine for gnolls; I got a writeup for them in my race homebrew thread that I'm really quite proud of, even if I could use some help making them more balanced. It's figuring out a story-wise role for them that I'm struggling a little. Where did they come from? What are they like? The Fangwyrms and Draeg actually kind of write themselves with the "failed experiment" and "Elven lich-wraith revenge ploy via Shin'hare expy" concepts, but I don't have something like that for lizardfolk or gnolls yet. The focus on physiology is that many of my races are either homebrewed or very much not like standard D&D depictions of them. Aranea have been a very obscure D&D race and their hybrid forms have never been done very well. Generally, though, Physiology will only be particularly long for races that are particularly unusual. The dwarf and gnome gazetters will be a lot shorter, more or less. Honestly, I read through the rest and I didn’t see anything jump out that I wanted to comment on. Maybe I’m just really tired. This is all looking pretty awesome so far though[/QUOTE] Thank you so much for coming back, I was really waiting for somebody to speak up. I'm glad to see that you continue to take a positive interest in this setting. [/QUOTE]
