D&D General Has anyone played in a group where everyone was a member of the same species? (+)

Sure all human is relatively common in groups I’ve played. Never had an all dwarf. But i did play in an all Drow campaign that was a lot of fun a few years ago.

oh yeah, we had one all-drow campaign with the Menzoberanzan boxset! It... didn't end well.

Drow gonna drow. Lol. I seem to remember the same.

At a guess, partly the influence of the Hobbit (which is an almost all-Dwarf party) and partly the way Dwarves are often portrayed as rather insular and untrusting of non-Dwarves.

Plus the theming is really fun. For all that people complain about dwarf cliches, battleaxes, beards and beers is a lot of fun to play, especially if you've got a whole bunch of dwarves causing hairy chaos.

Accurate. There's probably a touch of Snow White nostalgia in the mix too, although they're less prone to drunken orc-butchery than most.

There are zero orcs left in that forest.

True, but they had the decency not to do the orc-butchery on camera. Have to keep that G rating for Walt.

An all Dragonborn party would be something worth seeing IMHO.

Especially if the players use the Fizban’s version of dragonborn that includes gem options!

Yeah, thats where you need table rules so you can get them all to play the game properly

I'm sure that early on in gaming I've had all human PCs, but that might have been more to do with what choices were available. I don't think I've played or run a game since 3e that didn't include a mix of races, but mind you, I haven't floated any campaign ideas that requested it.

Got a favorite among the Gem Dragonborn?
