[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3005538, member: 19675"] Disney's Dark Crystal did OK, and there weren't any humans in it...and is popular enough that it may yet spawn a sequel. ([url]http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050515d.php[/url]) However, IME, there are enough "humanocentrists" out there that it can definitely impact the bottom line. For example, Isaac Asimov's "Nightfall" has no humans in it- he says so explicitly in the intro to the story. It is considered to be one of the best sci-fi stories ever written. However, he wrote the story as if the characters were fully human. The movie version is full of humans...with no disclaimer. (OK- it WAS made in Baliwood, so cost probably played a factor in that decision.) I've actually had players tell me they wouldn't play in a campaign in which the possibility of playing a human was eliminated. They didn't neccessarily want to play one- they just wanted that possibility. [/QUOTE]
