[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6762824, member: 11146"] I'm wrapping up a year-long all-human (not what you asked, admittedly) PbP. It's a d20 Modern game, so human was the default race when we did character generation. The game's gone very well. When we started play, I wondered whether I or the players would be bored with all humans, but on the contrary, I've had a stellar time, and the players have reported enjoying the game. For starters, when I [I]did[/I] start introducing F/X and monsters, it super really set apart the "other-worldliness" of the paradigm shift I'd been gunning for. The characters got to roleplay in entertaining ways: "What the deuce?! Monsters are [I]real[/I]?! There's [I]magic[/I]?!" The other thing I've enjoyed about an all-human party is that the singularity of race shines a spotlight on differences in abilities and backgrounds. I notice class diversity a lot more with an all-human party (there's probably a metaphor about life in that statement). The Dedicated character stands out in meaningful ways from the Tough character. I'd definitely run a same-race party again. And not just for d20 Modern, either. [/QUOTE]
