Totally different concept.I don't ask many of the PC's last names in our group much either, but I bet quite a few people know the name "Do'Urden" or at least know it starts with a D and it's weird.I have never seen a PC's race "never, EVER" referenced. I have seen it not brought up in a single game. Why? Because we all know it. Unless we are interacting with a lot of NPCs and the DM has one that has a special interaction with a given race that is in our group, it's not something that comes up a lot.Course, I read a post here on the boards about a month back where the player thought that he no longer enjoyed the acting part of roleplaying. He'd just as soon have the DM tell him what he needs to know without all of the flowery roleplaying. Personally, I would be ok with that. In my old age, I like to cut to the chase. I've had my fair share of pedestrian roleplaying over the years (i.e. spent a few hours talking with some NPCs and it led to something that we could have gotten in about 5 minutes of our time) to start to like not just combat to speed up, but roleplaying as well. In such a situation, reiterating for the 120th time in the campaign that Bob's PC is an Elf is just a waste of time. I'd rather be exploring, or telling jokes, or fighting. Something a bit more fun than such repetition.</blockquote>
