What about fanzine topics?

I think this is an example of one of the best things about fanzines.
New races or revised takes on the old ones. Honestly all our player fantasy worlds combined would drown a publisher in a sea of denizens and cultures. Getting well balanced creative templates of other races in print form brings life to this content desert while leaving the canon source material unblemished.

Of the 3 races in the article, I liked the Ghillies best. The reskinned hobbit/halfling is a great idea imho. We even get a weapons list specific to these undersized humanoids making them all the more unique and realistically playable.
The special bonus of being small and harder to hit + attacking big ones from within their own hex appears to be reasonable and balanced with their low ST build + attribute cap.
I do worry if my players will uniformaly cry "no fair" when attacked by Spearhook pole arms (tripping them). These and the fighting ribbon really appeal to me as great narritive visuals.
