Got Hobbits?

[Merlin the Tuna]

My halflings were already river folk before 4E was announced. Never had any interest in hobbits.

Incidentally, I don't know what camp that should put my vote in. "Same as ever?"

I like Halflings.. not a fan of Hobbits, and never was.

So, as per the previous poster, what poll choice is the correct one for me?

 

[Mr. Wilson]

Amusingly enough, my halflings were swamp-dwelling republicans (as in a gov't, not political party) in my own homebrew long before 4E.

So, I'm not sure how to answer the question, halflings are a major player in my world, but are not culturally like Hobbits.

Hobbits are a big part of my True20 game, although they're post-apocalyptic berserkers who resist necromancy. But they were originally Tolkien style hobbits.

For some reason they're in my campaign "more than ever." I'm sure it's not deliberate or part of an unconcious fetish, but I am using more "Hobbits" than ever before. I follow the traditional fluff that halflings are hobbits - short, plump, and jolly. However, I also follow the idea that they can be devious and wicked. For example, in my campaign the players were just attacked by a group of halfling highwaymen. They were pelted with stones, stabbed, and poisoned. Eventually they the PC's started getting the better of them and the halflings ran and hid in some caves but not before causing some serious lumps.
