I don't know why but I like Satyrs too. Not that short and fat kind like Phil, but slightly shorter than an average human but still a bit taller than a dwarf. When I implement them, they're either a legitimate mundane race low in population and loosely based off ancient Greece, or a creature from the Feywild intent on hanging around the PC's plane for the lulz.

Gnolls are a personal favorite.

They do the savage, tribal warrior thing really well, and generally look pretty awesome while doing it.

Orcs are a close second. It's cool to see all the variations different authors throw around.

A fantasy race thread and no one's mentioned the GOAT fantasy race?

I have no idea why, but ever since I first started D&D I've always loved Kuo-Toans. They're just such great little floppy fish-things, and their ability to worship something into reality can make for some ridiculous scenarios which is why I'm building my campaign around that idea.

I prefer their 3e design to their 5e look, but that may be because it makes me think of Kermit the Frog.

My favorite how to be Dwarves. Along with the aesthetic, I like their character and persona as stingy but overall good people who live inside of mountains in closely knit groups while always fighting the scum of the world that try to take their fortress. Also usually being depicted with Scottish accents help.

I keep coming back to ghosts. They don't really work as player characters, I guess, because being immaterial is simultaneously overpowered and inconvenient (They also may or may not count as a "race," come to think of it), but I like 'em as NPCs.

I like Gnomes.

And I don't mean traditional Gnomes, I mean the 'combine elves, dwarves, hobbits and gnomes together and then call them gnomes' type of fae folk.

I'm also a big fan of Lizardmen, ratmen, and hobgoblins.

What I really wish is I knew how to make up interesting or unique races or monsters even, because they always end up being X-folk or something derivative of trolls/goblins, etc.

Humans because I feel like everything is unoriginal (like elves, dwarves and orcs), or doesn't make a lot of sense (like slapping the top half of a human on the bottom half of an animal). At least humans really exist so they work as an intelligent race.

>>48476574
Minotaur are totally legit in my campaign. They occupy a series of islands and some coast line off to the West and have a Greecian flair.

Same. I wish satyrs could be more naturally included without a knee-jerk 'magical realm' call out.

Is there any sort of common ape or gorilla-like race? This thread made me realize I'd love to play something like that, but the only thing close is a race I made for one of my campaigns, so using it it other people's games would be kinda weird.

In my setting, the Feywild and the Shadowfell play an active role in the world. My distinction is that the Fauns come from the Feywild as tricksters and musicians and the like, while Satyrs come from the Shadowfell as cunning spies.

Centaur in my setting are what happens when Elves give themselves to the Wild hunt in the Feywild.

Ironically the Centaur's racial leader usurped a Fey lord and basically controls the Wild hunts as the Huntsmaster, and he's luckily Lawful good.

Party currently convinced the Huntsmaster to unleash a wild hunt on the Lich bad guy.

Imagine a Lich being all smug at raising an army of one mirrion undead only to have a Dimensional hole rip open outside his house and Wave after wave of Immortal Ethereral berserkers smash his lands to bits in a single glorious charge.

Neat. I use Hanu, based off of that vaguely as well as Japanese myths about Son Goku and Chinese myths about Sun Wukong

Goblins and Kobolds, as long as they are the funny, earnest kind. The creepy/shrewd variety of Gobs/Kobolds is fun too, but I think they are at their best when they are silly comic relief.

I like Drow too, as long as they're simply a brutal but advanced matriarchal society rather than "literally always Chaotic Stupid". I think they look nice and the defined societies from WotC/TSR/whoever first defined them have good storytelling potential. Also femdom is a fetish of mine.

Also gnolls, as long as they're of the spotted hyena femdom variety. I don't have any other real reasons like my fondness for drow though.

Not hobbity overweight-rural-English-people halflings, D&D hallfings. Preferably with a side order of travelling pikey flair. There's just something about a colourful band of three feet tall gypsies who'll fuck you up if you look at them wrong that appeals to me.
