I'm Dming most of the time in FR, but I like to think that I give an interesting twist to the usual tropes. Since I DM for new players, I also frequently enforce old-school lore which seem ''new'' to them even if its ''classic'' or ''cliché'' for my own point of view. Human: most cities are human-made. I put a heavy emphasis on the fact that this is the Age of Men, so there's no large population of other races. Elves: No aloof or carefree elves for me. Elves are a people belonging to a lost age, a people who've seen their people disappear slowly. I ask my players to keep in mind that their character has probably seen many friends die of old age, nations disappear, generations rising then falling  by the time their characters are ready to adventure; its something that would weight on many character. Most of them have retreated back to the feywild or a few city hidden from manking (Evereska). Other still occupy large forest to keep the war against the Drows alive, living in small guerilla-warfaring, martially-driven clans. No tree huggers in them.Dwarf: If you try a Scottish accent, you're banned from the table; we play in French, so you can imagine the results if someone tries <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> I inspire myself heavily from the Dragon Age depiction of the dwarves: rigid caste system, importance of the appearance of honor over honor itself. To me, the main theme of the dwarves isnt forge, metal or stones: its secrecy. I put emphasis on the fact that dwarves have secret ''true names'', they know the magic of hidden doors and passageways etcGnomes, Dragonborn, Tiefling, Half-orc, Half-elf are very very rare; if a player plays one of them, they must understand that they will be treated as an anomaly in most villages and towns.</blockquote>
