Re: fantasy races
Ever since my second fantasy campaign, I'm always inventing new races, and avoid Dndtolkienesque ones like the plague. For instance, Skyfallen chronicles contained the eight great races (one for each great god) - Sunfolk & Moonfolk, Nightfolk & Starfolk, Rainfolk & Woodfolk, Rockfolk & Firefolk - and 4 minor ones (hybrids of the four compatible pairs) - Eclipsefolk, Mistfolk, Swampfolk, Steelfolk. My Celestial Ocean contains 7 (8) races, most of which are rather unorthodox in both traits and biology.
