[QUOTE="Dristram, post: 574698, member: 1639"] [b]Re: Metahumans in Kalamar?[/b] I wondered that myself. But I figured it was demi-humans...but now I'm not so sure. Maybe Psions?? Since I'm posting, I will add that I think Kalamar has a lot more to offer now with its many accessories: Campaign Sourcebook Atlas Players Guide Villian Design Handbook Geanavue, The Stones of Peace Fury in the Wastelands, Orcs of Tellene Pekal Gazetteer DM Shield 12 full modules [b]Much[/b] more than just the Campaign Sourcebook when Kingdoms of Kalamar was first released :) But I'd like to mention that all that is needed to run a Kalamar campaign is the PHB, DMG, MM, and KoKCS. It's fully playable without all the extra accessories. They are just there for added information for those who desire it for their settings. I am realizing I never mentioned why I really liked KoK. What drew me to it was when I found out Hobgoblins were a major race in the lands (having [b]two[/b] Kingdoms!) and Half-Hobgoblins were a new PC race! Then I bought the KoKCS and was dumbfounded by how richly detailed the world was. And not only that, the history of it made sense historically! Oh! And lest I forget...humans are not all the same race! Greyhawk had this, but Kalamar fleshes it all out much better. Just for fun, I will reword what Dr. Strangemonkey wrote about FR for KoK since it fit so well with what I would say about KoK :) "When I'm playing KoK and the DM mentions a city from something like Reanaaria Bay I can look up the city in my big ol KoK Campaign Sourcebook and have details to play with. When I say my characer is from Svimohzia I can look up svimohzia and have a wealth of details with which to flesh out dialogue and actions.
