[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8695959, member: 52734"] I grew up with B/X, so it took me a long time to incorporate gnomes into my games. I can't even remember anyone playing them, honestly. Still, in my homebrew they were made by the elves and the dwarves together to create a race that would bridge their two cultures. Unfortunately, their trickster nature caused increasing friction between the two, and when the gnomes were found out, they were cast out. They now live in their own country (along with halflings*), and are closer to tinker/eberron gnomes who are very good with clockworks and "prankster" magic. * In my homebrew's ancient past, humans were captured and experimented on by the God of Shadows, whose torture fashioned them into halflings. The Goddess of Mischief tricked the Lord of Shadows into destroying his own mortal empire and led the halflings out to gnomish lands, who happily welcomed the newly freed "race" as brothers and sisters. Those original halflings in thrall to the Lord of Shadows were based on the small ones from Phantasm, and still exist in the dark corners of the campaign world. [/QUOTE]
