Most of them think I have some sort of fetish for furry anthromporiphics. The truth is that I am soooooo tired of playing elves and dwarves and humans. When I want to play something other than a human, I want it to be different! In every game I have played, no NPCs bat an eyelash at the elf or the dwarf, even if the rural town has never seen such a being. I play a lizardman, and my GM suddenly has everyone staring at me, acting weird and making racial (specieist?) slurs. The real bummer is when my fellow players start dissing on character's heritiage all the time.I mean, few people think of demi-humans as well, not human. They take it to heart when DND calls them races, as in a subrace of humanity. Heck I had one DM tell me to stop it when my elf did things like constantly perfer to sleep in a tree instead of the inn, and comment that the palace was ugly because it was blocky and angular with no curves or decoration.  He said, and I quote ..."Why don't you play like a regular person?"uhh, because my character isn't a regular person, he's an elf.rant done.</blockquote>
