Re: Interesting fantasy world
Alternatively this could be the result of a Banestorm 1300 odd years ago, porting in races that look like a cross between a meerkat and a roadrunner, a monster lobster/python chimera, or a bad acid trip version of a giant flightless bumblebee, as well as magical or ultratech artifacts.

Re: Interesting fantasy world
Personally, I never charge for age related disadvantages or advantages unless the scope of the game is going to carry through that amount of time. Mostly it is just free/wasted points when I manage to get characters on tables.

Re: Interesting fantasy world
The important effect of unusual lifespans in a game, unless it's an unusual game that covers a very long time in time-lapse style, is that the character is older or younger than their physical state would suggest and therefore has more or fewer skills. Maybe a yinglet template should have a guideline that since yinglet adventurers may be only three or four years old, they shouldn't have more than X points in skills without a good reason? But then they can live to be forty, so you could have a yinglet of 20 or 30 who's lived long enough to have a normal amount of points in skills and isn't too old for adventuring.
