I'm currently looking at the Talislanta setting, where you don't have any humans - at least as far as names go <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />.In principle, I find campaigns with humans more honest. Humans are the only "race" we really know, and in the end there's hardly any player who I see playing his non-human race somehow different from a human. All those "race descriptions" just serve as a costume for our humble human player, about as exotic as a new pair of sneakers. That's why I usually prefer campaigns where humans play a major role - at least for the PC's <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.Like many other people before me, I have a strong dislike for furry races. This is not a dislike per se - I don't mind one of those popular cat-like races, as long as they somehow have cat-like traits different from some stupid thing like that they purr at the end of each sentence <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />. A good example are Jack Vance's Dirdir who have preserved their predatory instincts.Arcana Unearthed gave me a hard time in this regard. Litorians with dreadlocks and Sybeccai with Cleopatra hairstyle, please! And females of both races with typical human boobs - arrgh <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />!</blockquote>
