First Post
what got me thinkihng about my latest poll was working on a new race where i have created 3 genders. all 3 are required for procreation and have somewhat distinct attributes.

has anyone else ever done this? any advice?

I once read a star trek book about an alien bug people race like that back when I was in sixth grade....I think they had to sit on weird stools....

Anyway...I imagine that the reproduction would be quite a bit less unless procreation was forced by government/religion/body chemistry. Maybe once a year they all get together and mate with the first person they find because they can't help it....

Can you imagine the Jerry Springer of that world? My cheating wife, my husband that wants a sex change and me who feels like a transvestite. lol
 

Three Ways?

I'd split them up this way:

One gender lays unfertilized eggs.
The other gender fertilizes the eggs by ejaculating on them (this is how seahorses procreate, I think... Some underwater creature does this)
The third gender picks up the fertilized eggs and gestates them, maybe in a pouch like a marsupial.

Of course, this would all be very impersonal and maybe isn't what you're looking for. One thing's for certain, it would make for some really unpleasant to look at porn.

Ekke the mechanics of that would be frightening

IMC all gnomes are quasi-hermaphrodites (gender indeterminant like 101 Smurfs and only 1 'female'!:)) and I've made all my Orc Shamans Transvestites

but never have I done a Racial Menage a Trois

(well actually there was that time at College...:) :P)
 

Wait, for gender limits you don't mean stuff like "males can only be fighters or wizards" or "females can only reach the 10th level in the druid class", do you?
