I figured since Tolkien intended Hobbits as an ode to stereotypical English country dwellers, I'd make my Halflings into a bad stereotype of American country dwellers... So Halfling wear mullets, eat deep-fried everything, make moonshine, steal from outsiders, and inhabit Shires presided over by fat, corrupt sheriffs. Their religion is based around charismatic preachers who hold revival meetings in tents, where Halflings speak in tongues, experience faith healing, and give testimonials about how accepting Jerebus as their Lord and Savior delivered them from a life of sin.My Gnomes have a vaguely Jewish culture. They are prominent bankers, lawyers and technicians who strongly value learning and good humor, but are the subject of vicious rumors stating that they control everything and are plotting to take over all human nations. Which is funny, because of all the races, only the Gnomes are really trying to make things better for everybody. Hence, everyone else thinks they're conspiring.My Elves are a a satire on the 60s Haight-Ashbury hippies as they really were: promiscuous creatures who never know who their fathers are, who spend most of their time stoned, and who make their livings playing music, selling drugs, and prostituting themselves. More near-immortal teenagers who never need to grow up than Tolkien's near-angels. And of course, I use contemporary Goth and FemDom BDSM culture as the models for my Drow.</blockquote>
