Robots, undead, and insects, and most especially combinations of all three -- pic related doesn't really qualify, but it's close enough I think

I love the Gloranthan duck people (thanks King of Dragon Pass!)

Tbh my money has to go to either the hardcore beastman Minotaurs, or Codex Alera style Canim/wolfman things.

You know. The kind that are seven or eight feet tall, have completely alien body language and social cues, and will tear your throat out if they smell fear.

once one of my players made a spider drider. I thought it was a typo and he wanted a spider rider and I was okay with that. He explain that no, it was supposed to be a 'centaur except both halves are spiders. Meaning it's got 16 legs and stands half upright.'

Oozes, slimes, jellies, etc.. Lousy Ghaunadaur had to throw a hissyfit because Lolth wouldn't go out with him. So he stole the intelligence from all the slimes. Gelatinous Cube could have been a playable monster monster race, but they were cursed with a moronic deity that thought it would be a good idea to do irrepairable damage to all his followers - followers which are kinda essential for being a powerful deity. Now Ghaunadaur's a third-rate chump that no one cares about. I just wanted to be a pudding.

You gave me an idea for a race of insectoids.

They were initially similar to ants or bees but bigger. And with a lot more castes. Like scientist, merchant that kinda thing. They had extensive interactions with the other races. At one point, their birth rates are reduced. Most larvae end up being stillborns.

So some hives turn to necromancy. It would be interesting to use them as good necromancers in a setting. It would be interesting to have them be allies to paladins.

>>51055489

And everyone's a supposed to pronounce caesar as kai-sar but no one does.

But to answer your question, a race from high in the mountains, bonus to STR and CON, penalty to DEX. They're good at Sense Motive and Climbing and Jumping, and are treated as Large for most purposes even though they are Medium(using larger weapons, grapple checks etc).

For example Cynocephali, the dog-head people that appear even in christian texts and the Blemmyes, the headless men that often appear living in the edges of the world in old maps.

What if it's a dragonborn lizardfolk?

They use the fact that they are a lizardfolk to hide their dragonborn nature when traveling through lands populated by other races. And only people very familiar with dragonborn or fellow lizardfolk can note the differences.

>>51067752
That's not how it works.

I'm usually a stickler for beastrace hate, and have never been a big fan of encouraging furfags, but I've recently been writing a campaign featuring ratfolk as the kind of wandering gypsy traders of the setting, and I like the way it's all falling together lore-wise.

They're still not a playable race, because I don't want to encourage degeneracy, but it's refreshing.

And those aren't dragonborn you shitweasel. Those are half dragons. Ignoring the 5e shit lore, dragonborn are a literal race of people who are possibly distantly related, as in super ancient ancestors during their creation myth, to dragons at least in best lore, fuck 3.5s weird template thing. They can also be half dragons just like a dragon having sex with a human will produce.

I fucking hate the amount of ignorant stupid fucks on this board who don't even play RPGs commenting on shit they know nothing about.

>>51046910
I saw this epic little artwork in the corner of a page of an old white dwarf. It was a rabbit in knights armour with a lance. I made a whole world around that one picture. I used to draw up these rabbit knights all the time and sketch up cities for them. They weren't all cute though, they were grimdark little cunts. They fought against rats... Also knights. It was the tightest shit...

>>51062339

>>51069776
Sorry not really, it was when I was younger. I'd love to do a write up for you but I'm working away atm. They had a number of different species of rabbit and the main ones were mostly bipedal. There were larger hares that were more traditional animals with almost no speech or understanding that they used as mounts and agricultural tools. And a species that was roughly half the size of the main ones that lived along side them. They were almost never seen in battle other than as attendants and medics. The rats similarly had a sub species of mice that were not entirely unified and therefore would occasionally aid either side or ask for aid from either side. I don't remember what it was, but there was some resource that they fought desperately over and the knights often accompanied civilian efforts to gather it. Which is usually where the rats would strike.

4E devas. Not so keen on their connection to Rakshasas but overall I love their visual design and their angles of being rejected children of the gods and many semi-forgotten lifetimes

>>51072584

>>51072551

Corvids?

>>51072652
It certainly works and I certainly prefer it over something like "crow-folk". It sounds a bit generic though, something I would use only if lacking a better term.

Or maybe I can make corvids the "generic" term and then invent some cool sounding name that they use but the players don't really need to remember first (like dunmer and druchii meaning dark elf in their respective settings).

>>51046910
Kenku, I guess. I mean there's a lot of really interesting non-standard races out there.

old norse - Hrafin
Also from norse - Reafan - the name for a battle banner with a raven on it that a viking used which had magical properties.
Welsh - Bran - a welsh god whose name translates to raven
Koryaks (russian far east peoples) - Kutcha
Tlingit (Pacific NW Indian tribe) - Yeil

So that's the difference between dragonborn, dragonkin and half-dragons.

>>51064793
I think for me it's like, there's a perceived difference if an Aasimar is just a good person rather then a drow. Like, the drama is living up to this huge inheritaited bias is ripe for drama when you throw in questions of authenticity and integrity vs. your position in the community.

Who the fuck calls Mr Clean "Mr Proper"? Is that the brit version?

>>51075955
Uh sure. This was back in high school before I knew people who would play games besides D&D so I just took the d20 system and build a terrible game on top of it. The party was a Carrion Crawler, a Drider, some stripe of Earth Elemental, an Illithid, and an Umber Hulk. My excuse to the group for all the standard raced being dead was that there had been an apocalypse that had killed them all. I started the party out in an abandoned walled city surrounded by wasteland "with no memory about how you got here," and that was everything that I had written for the game. I had an overly detailed map of the city, and a (lame) random encounter table for the wasteland. My players quickly picked up on the fact i had nothing, and were getting frustrated when one of them said
>What time is it?

>Me: like 6 we only just started

>No in game, I look at the sun what time is it?

>Oh, The sun is setting just past the horizon.

So the players decide to explore some more because the majority have dark vision. After forcing them to travel from one part of the city to the other in laborious detail, they ask
>How dark has it gotten?

>I just said it was about sunset.

>Are you telling us that boring stretch of bullshit took less time than it takes for the sun to set?

Shit, time to double down.
>No it took a while but the sun still hasn't set.

Party decides to sit and watch the sun set. It never sets. After some discussion the party decides that the never setting sun is obviously what the adventure is about, and leave the city heading west. They fought some random encounters (mostly normal animals that encounter table was lame,) and by the end of the night the consensus was that despite a rocky start the campaign seemed to be going some place cool. What they didn't know was that they were literally at the edge of my map.

>>51076793
Part 2

So having just pulled my ass out of the fire by accident I started working on the next week of adventures. I make an abandoned wizard's tower full of animated objects for them to explore, and updated my random encounter table to be less lame. So the party is walking across the blasted wastes, and I roll a random encounter. A group of drow. Why are there drow above ground? For the same reason that the sun never set because I was a dumb high school kid trying to keep my friends interested enough to not leave and play xbox. I have stats for a fight, but the Illithid has other plans.

>I greet the drow.

>What?

>We're all 'monsters' right? The drow won't attack me on sight right?

>Yeah right of course.

So the party talk with the drow. They ask where the drow are going. I say something about going to a city to the north because the drow heard that others were congregating there.

>Players: Oh we definitely should go there. Let's follow the drow.

The party goes north. I throw some encounters in their way as they go, and even get to use the wizard's tower for one session. I start having to name, and flesh out the drow. After a few sessions of walking, fighting, and talking to NPCs when they rested in the eternal twilight the party made it to the city. I had come up with a cool plot involving a devil that was running the city with an iron fist. The players spent a few session kicking around the slums of the city they decide to keep heading west and leave town.

That is essentially how the game went after that. Walk west, get detoured, deal with some problem, talk to the NPCs, repeat. After a few loops of this I got the hang of it. I would make entire story lines by randomly flipping to pages of the monster manuals. The party would never want to fight anything that they didn't have to because of the novelty of getting to talk to things that normally wanted to eat adventurers. The longer we player the wackier things got.

I'd like to play as a pansexual tiefling.

>>51077386
Part 3

Some of the more memorable things the party encountered.

>Kobolds trying to reassemble a temple like a jigsaw (they weren't certain what head whet with what statue but they tried bless 'em)

>Angels that were afraid to fly.

>Lesser Devils trying to build a miniature hell on earth, but everything was tied up in a planning committee.

>Valley of dinosaurs. fuck you it was cool!

>Lich that was a good guy before the apocalypse, and went lich to survive.

>A clockwork city with clockwork people, and clockwork fire bombings by clockwork separatists.

>Myconid chess masters.

>Two forests that were in a cold war. (they both developed fire weapons)

>People (drow, goblins, and gnolls mostly) worshiping a giant dragon puppet.

>WW2 battle field staffed with zombies.

>Flying garbage cities.

They never made it all the way west we all went to college with the hope that we would one day get together and play again, but never did.

Goblins and orcs are the dominant species on one continent of my homebrew world.

Goblins are the tech junkies. They have crude gliders and are experimenting with electricity, steam and gunpowder. They're on the verge of a major techno-religious schism.

Orcs are more the noble savage, willfully primitive types, on this continent anyway. On the high plateau they're more like plains Native Americans, the highland orcs are a bit more pastoral and the lowland orcs a bit more cosmopolitan.

I'm a hardcore min maxer but I like roleplaying too so I end up building characters around gimmick obsessed builds. That being said, I love Skulks. Anti social, near invisible, dick ass rogues as a race.

The challenge was making one that was interested enough in civilization to join a party. He was ONLY seen by the party if he could help it and lost his spaghetti if an outsider noticed him. Kinda like an Enderman.

Also skeletons.

>>51064412
Their fluff bastardized an already fucking annoying setting. They're special snowflakes- in FR, which is even worse. For some reason, the method of their entrance as a core race has lead the players who are already mostly autistic that prefer them to just assume their shitty race is allowed in any setting, in any context.

Dragons themselves have gotten really tacky if done improperly, and the dragonborn essentially piggyback off the worst parts of this: 90's anime tier elemental focus, honor caste society, all combined with essentially being an entire race of Drizzits. The art that is used to depict them in every book is fucking atrocious- and yeah, I know that's a subjective point, but jesus christ do the Dragonborn always look fucking retarded. Like somebody took the Predator and tried very slightly to make him appealing enough to children that he could star on a cartoon show.

And, what's worse, they're unabashed furries. Yes, scalies are furries, and dragonborn are worse even than the degenerate fucks who post about kobolds.

Drow were always pretty interesting to me just because I found the gray skin sexy. When I actually read about them I was still intrigued because of driders and the whole "fallen elf" thing was kind of cool, but when I found that it was impossible to make a good Chaotic Neutral or true Neutral character with a Drow I got really upset and never played.

I've always wanted to play a Chaotic Neutral Drow who just didn't give a shit about the law and drank and did jobs for whoever and was generally flexible (as neutral should be), but everyone was always so red flag about me playing a Drow that I've never gotten the chance.
