Message: <blockquote data-quote="Samothdm" data-source="post: 345008" data-attributes="member: 5473">I agree with this wholeheartedly.  I've never been a fan of the Elven Forest Kingdom where all the elves are chaotic-good or the Dwarven Mountain City where all the dwarves are lawful-good.  In my world, the races share the same living space.  A kingdom is just as likely to have a human ruler as an elf or dwarf.  An empire with a human emperor is very likely to have cities with goblin or elf mayors.  Same thing with religions.  It seems in most RPG stuff, the humans have several different pantheons of gods to choose from depending upon where they live, but all of the demi-humans throughout the whole world are expected to just follow one pantheon (the gods of the Dwarves, etc.).  Whose to say that all Dwarves follow the same gods?  And, why can't elves and goblins and dwarves and humans follow the same religion?  So, I also have elves and goblins and such acting as high-level priests in the same religious system.These sound like nitpicks but most "generic" RPG supplements assume that:1) Each demi-human race has its own "kingdom" or empire or whatever and they don't live alongside the other races, and2) There are black-and-white rules to religion that somehow preclude different races from worshipping the same pantheon.The world that I submitted for the setting search actually was based upon the idea that all of the races are having to live together and share the same space and so have to overcome all of their inborn prejudices and try to cope with their differences.</blockquote>
