[QUOTE="Greenstone.Walker, post: 8348413, member: 6788312"] I ran a game set in Primeval Thule., which had limited races. No Underdark, so no drow, dvergar, svirfneblin, etc. No goblinoids, no orcoids, no fey (in Thule, beastmen fulfil the roles that orcs and kobolds and the like usually play in D&D games). Players could pick "strange" races, with the strong warning that their choice would have consequences. In particular, elves were not available as PCs (most elves lived in one city, spending their days under the influence of black lotus juice). So, what did they pick? Genasi, goliath, ghostwise halfling, forest gnome. And they got annoyed at me when the guards at the first town wouldn't let the weirdos through the gates… But, yes, I have learned that players don't actually want to play kobolds and skeletons and aarraarraacowhateverthespelling flying things. They want to play "whatever the GM has disallowed." [/QUOTE]
