[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8148199, member: 6855114"] I once went to an only elves party. It was set in Greyhawk before the Suel and Baklunish became empires. Humans were simple tribesmen and elves were helping them to access civilization. Adventures could be decades appart sometimes a hundred years could pass between two adventures. They saw the rise of the Suel Empire and the rise of Vecna (which they had personally saved). They saw the Invoked Devastation and the Rain of Colorless Fire. It gave my players a unique perspective on the elven point of view and up to this day, my players play elves in a unique way that I rarely see from other players. I did the same with Hobbits ahem... Halflings and Dwarves. The halfling campaign ended prematurely with the arrival of second edition but it show that halflings were not thieves to steal but to sneak around as their society did not value hoards of gold but valued the sharing of that gold. Halfling are not hoarders but gold spenders. And a lot is with friends, familly and even perfect strangers. It was also a reason that I never had problems with Kenders. My players understand the halfling way of life just about right. When you don't need gold to live a happy life, you do not tend to steal from companions. [/QUOTE]
