I'd say Sahuagin and Lizardfolk are a different evolutionary route to Humans or Orcs but all of them are Humanoid. Also I tend to subscribe to the theory that intelligent life (as humans would recognise it) that could survive on the same world as humans would probably evolve on earth-like worlds and along similar routes (ie opposable thumbs and fine manipulators (hands), and upright gait, omnivirous diet, complex social groups with young bounding with adults in a parent-child relationship - ie humanoids)Question1. If there are no 'gods' to grant divine spells - how do clerics/paladins work in this world?2. Are we going for Psionics sans magic or Psionics with Magic?3. What Tech level(s) are we going to be working with? Would a world in which Da Vincis inventions work be okay? Steamtech? Gunpowder? Lazer blasters!!!4. What is going to be the dominant race(s) - I vote Goblins , Hobgoblins and Blues!5. Can we please have Goblins as a playable Race...6. Can we please enslave and/or slaughter all Elves<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" />- jokingOkayI too vote that we take up Jurgens offer to be our gracious host and thank him most profusely for that<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Another ideaThat we each create a character (say Level 5) who will be the leader of our colonies and who might one day become the Legendary heroes/villains of the world</blockquote>
