D&D races are hardly more different than the mutated 'furry' humans in GURPS Technomancer or the parahuman templates in GURPS Biotech or Transhuman Space. Now if this was happening on the Journal of the Traveller's Aid Society forums, well, I might be more accepting of the concept that people can't realistically play a Droyne or a Hiver.Then again, a Traveller human would be a lot easier to play realistically than a Transhuman Space human. Can we really understand the mindset of someone who is pratically immortal, whether he's going to have his body rebuilt or his brain uploaded into a computer, who lives with an almost sapient AI computer inside his head and can load the complete public bio of anyone he sees even if he hasn't seen them before in his life? Whose first sexual experience was with thier AI, who has changed gender a couple times in their life, who considers running a race on the moon without a spacesuit just to live on the edge? That's more alien than any elf I've heard.</blockquote>
