D&D Races.jpg

I was thinking about the "standard fantasy races" and a thought came to me:

What would the standard fantasy races have been if D&D had not been inspired by Tolkien?

If it wasn't elves, dwarfs, halflings and orcs, what would it be?

Would we even have standard fantasy races today or would it just be a different set of races lifted from fiction and mythology?

You probably wouldn't have races as an option if not for Tolkein. If you look at adventurers in fantasy stories that could have influenced DnD, like Conan or Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, they're always human. Myths also typically involve humans, for obvious reasons.

It's not just the races, though. Without Gandalf, you lose a prominent example of a good guy magic user. The good guys in Sword and Sorcery stories are normally the guys with the swords, so magic systems inspired by them are likely to be much more sinister and personally costly to the user.

A lot of evil shit monsters like fey, Leprechaun and kobolds.

>You probably wouldn't have races as an option if not for Tolkein.

That's what I thought. Early tabletop games were trying to recreate the atmosphere of The Fellowship of the Ring, with the whole "multiracial band of adventurers travels the land and explores dungeons" thing.

But if the standard fantasy races were to appear, they would probably resemble their depiction in folklore more closely than Tolkien's interpretation. Dwarfs would likely be mischievous and magically endowed instead of honorable warrior people, as an example.

Welcome back, to the fifteenth chapter of Mecha Space Pirate Quest!

As always, you are Admiral Roarke Susan Starwind of the Iron Kestrels space pirate fleet, master of the starship Rhinehawk, and pilot of the terrifyingly crit-prone Knuckle Kaiser.

Last time, as in a few hours ago, you destroyed a boss fight with your fists. Then, you and your dangerously weeby subordinate Oda Yoritomo melee'd a starship to death. This time...

"Aniki, that was sugoi! Absolutely sugoi! We showed them the depths of our warrior spirit! Like twin shinobi, brothers sharing the blood of Japan, we burst upon them and tore their tainted machines like cheap rice paper!" The Osano-Wo claps the Knuckle Kaiser on the shoulder as the three of you fly back towards the Rhinehawk, "I know that Ozark-sama is smiling warmly in tengoku, surrounded by waifus."

"Is this some sort of pirate slang?" Samantha Blanchett asks, her S-Betta decloaking to hug onto the Knuckle Kaiser's other arm. She probably feels left out.

You smile at her over the vidcomm, "It's a Storm Dragon thing, don't worry about it."

She frowns a little, "Oh. What's a why-foo?"

Oda opens his mouth to explain, and you cut him off, "It's like a very special girl. Like you. Or Karen."

She looks incredibly pleased with herself.

The Rhinehawk and Yamato are alright, although the Yamato has some cosmetic damage from being mauled by the cruiser's beam cannons and is completely out of missiles. Oda breaks company with you to return to his own ship and, you suspect, the adulation of his crew for striking a killing blow.

Depends on the country. The country the players originated from has a complicated system of state owned slaves, slaves can not be owned by a private party, and slave rights. A neighboring country has slavery much more akin to pre-civil war america. One across the sea acts entirely on the concept of indentured servitude.

So depends on what country you're in.

Yes and yes. Slave terms are only 7 years, and you're encouraged to be good to them, but they're still slaves and people can still be dicks.

Your name is Amy Nakamura, a 17 year old void Oni, and right now you’re feeling a whole bunch of emotions you’d rather not be feeling at all. Your cousin, in her infinite bicthiness, decided to follow you when you escaped (ran) from home. And she was sitting in the corner of Trish’s room the entire time you were spilling your guts to Trish about her. When you realized this you kinda…. Lost control and now you’re holding her up against the wall with one hand. How the fuck do you keep getting into situations like this?

“Why?” You ask her. “Why?” She looks away, and then looks back towards you, a small stream of tears pouring down her face.

“I’m so sorry Amy, so so sorry.”

When did your eyes start feeling so wet? Why are you?

Splicing with the human form to make pseudosnakes. The tits end up becoming toxin sacks in which a healthy female can make venomous, caustic acid, for spitting.

Rolled 9 (1d20)

/tg/, let's play a game. My next campaign will be set in Sigil-like hub town, populated with various races and species. However, which EXACTLY races would be there would depend on you, /tg/, and on a chance.

So, how does it work? It's simple. Name a race and roll d20. If the result is over 15, the race will be in the setting. If it's less than 5, it's not in the setting. On 20, the race will be one of dominant races in the setting. On nat1, however, the race will be confirmed extinct, existing only in old legends.

Multiple people (or a single very determined determined samefag, i don't care, just don't be too much of a faggot) can vote for a single race, but only the first result with outcome will matter.

Weirdness doesn't matter, if you want to showcase your original donutsteel race, you're more than welcome.

I'll start with "generic" races to get them out

"Anyone have an idea on how we can find either Jack or his pixie?" you ask.

"I could find the pixie easily enough," Darshan tells you. "Fey have a distinct energy that I know the secret of tracking. The mortal..."

"I could find the mortal," Robert tells you, with a shrug. "This place is shockingly free of shades, you know. I had expected more of the unquiet dead..."

"Sultan, find the pixie," you decide. "She already likes me."

The demon bows formally and begins glowing purple while he takes a small jade pendant from his pocket, with a round hole in the center of the stone.

"This way," the demon says with confidence, and the group sets off after him.

"She talks about you a lot," Robert mentions casually to Lark.

"I'm certain she can tell me all about it when she gets back," the elf answers, tersely.

"Not curious in the least, merchant?"

"Robert, leave him alone," you growl. "I know iron hurts you."

"As you wish," the ghost answers, with a shrug.

Darshan stops, and after a moment you can tell why; marching boots. The soldiers. Around ten, if you're a judge.
