Like a good decade ago, my friend threw a song my way by Blind Guardian. I liked it and listened to it a fair bitit wasn't until this bloody year that I realised that Time Stands Still (at the iron hill) was part of a whole bloody power metal Silmarilion-themed album. That one hurt I realised it so lateDream Theater did that thing that just gets me to listen to music, which is 'Note an obscure archaeological or astronomical term in your song'. You put the collision of Theia and Earth in your song? I will listen to it. You make a set of songs named and themed after geological ages of the Earth? You better believe I'm listening to it and thinking about snagging the albumAnywho,I gotta be honest? I reckon cat people, turtle people and, although unused by D&D, rat people are the three x-person races that have enough cultural bits and bobs to them that they could stand alone.Cat-people are that common they're a sci-fi staple of all things at this point, along with horror, and that's before you even get into the Japanese bakeneko or nekomataTurtles? Teenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesRat people have historic stuff, but even stuff as far afield as the Rat King from the Nutcracker and, well, Skaven from Warhammer</blockquote>
