[QUOTE="Geoffrey, post: 390138, member: 764"] Why does [I]every single[/I] campaign setting for D&D have to have all (or at least most) of these guys in it? Greyhawk--has them all Forgotten Realms--has them all Kalamar--has them all Ravenloft--has them all Scarred Lands--has them all (except for gnomes) After Winter Dark--has them all etc. I was excited when Nyambe came out, thinking these over-warmed fellows at least wouldn't be in an African setting. Wrong. There they all are! :mad: I am so tired of the re-re-re-re-re-rehashing of these Tolkien refugees. Please, some d20 designers out there, give them a rest!
