[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9633209, member: 27385"] While I play using the Forgotten Realms (FR), I like to keep the PCs to the PHB races. I might allow something else if a player wants, but we tend to stick with a more Lord of the Rings (LotR) looking party, which is fine with me. When placing monster races in the campaign, I like to have one smaller race like kobolds or goblins and one more human such as hobgoblins, orcs, or gnolls. I'm still debating how much orcs will be a player race in the game vs a monster race. I like having one or two big groups of monster races and might add a few pockets of the others to add flavor. I always thought that if too many races competed for the same lands, they would fight for control and one would win. There could be border regions where both the orcs and gnolls still clash, but mostly they compete with the humans and other PC races. Big monsters such as giants, dragons, and beholders are set pieces with their own dungeons and such and come up at the need of plot. [/QUOTE]
