[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 8504302, member: 7015558"] More seriously, skaven not existing is a running joke in WFRP (and Warhammer generally) in that there is PLENTY of evidence Skaven exist, and not much of a concerted effort to hide it, and yet 99% of humans don't think they do. There was a literal massive war, led by Mandred Skavenslayer, against the Skaven, and yet in the modern day Mandred is considered a loon and skaven an old-wives tale. There's almost no reason to even want to hide skaven's existence, considering the logical leap from beastmen existing to ratmen existing is not large. Even funnier, The Enemy Within's Companion has a Skaven in it, at a traveling zoo that keeps beastmen as exhibits... they have an albino skaven, and everyone thinks it's just a funny-looking beastmen. In another line, a rumor says "Apparently, the army fought beastmen with guns in the mountains... whoever heard of something so fanciful!" It's gaslighting at its finest, and is part of WFRP's charm. Anyway, I've largely accepted that if we are doing 5E, I had to be a little more flexible with races... a lot of folks (myself included) have played Total War: Warhammer, and have played many races there. So players definitely want to play as something non-human, that's a big part of 5E. And sadly playing WFRP was probably never an option, as a couple of my players are very "I play 5E, nothing else," which is annoying but is the way it is. Still, in my experience so far, converting the module to 5E has not been hard, as 5E is a very flexible system. [/QUOTE]
