I'm on a weird tangent here, so bear with me. It started when I considered an entire party who looked human, but weren't. Werewolves, changelings, selkies, that sort of thing.
Then I got thinking. What if the whole world was like that, with no humans left? Every fishing village is entirely selkies (or deep ones...). Every backwoods village is populated by lycanthropes. The cities have shapechanging dragons, doppelgangers and rakshasa filling the upper classes.
Now imagine that they are all still trying to stay hidden, even though there are no humans left. Anyone who breaks this masquerade is hunted down by his fellow ... beings, just as if actual humans had found a monster in their midsts.
So, opinions please. Could this work as a campaign setting? If so, dark fantasy or dark comedy?
