I'm doing some worldbuilding, but I haven't decided which races to include. I'd like to see /tg/'s opinion on the matter.
>>52378978
Catgirls.
Gondolas.
Sentient shades of color purple.
Dinosaur people.
Sexy dinosaur people.
Animated twinkies with toxic yet delicious filling.
Robot people.
Sexy robot people.
Decidedly unsexy robot people.
Jews.
I personally think the rarer races are interesting for a character story. Take tieflings for example they're basically hated everywhere which creates interesting dynamics with other NPCs or even PCs
>>52378978
Jews. I love merchant races.
>>52378978
Dragonborn are the best. As the dragonborn, you're linked with the elemtal realm of your ancestor through your breath weapon and resistance against that elemental power. Your +1 charisma is for that dragon unique biological ability to be able to reproduce with other race of your choice. + 2 strength is for when your charisma fail and really want it.
Amazons and chocolate elves are a best.
Chakats, Sergals, Humans, Yinglets, and Kender :^)in all honesty I do like the basics of sergals, and yinglets make for adorably inept NPCs (though should be very off-limits for PCs)

TN monk travelling the world and observing its beauty.
>>52379031
>Dinosaur people.
>Sexy dinosaur people.what's the difference
>>52379596
Honestly, Gondola is not a fitting PC. They are too passive in their nature.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeZgMJ5d45g
>>52379513
so you're a furry is what you're trying to say.
>>52379643
sometimes they can be more active.
>>52378978
Humans
Undead Civilized races
Orcs, Goblins, Bugbears, those types of things
Mushroomfolk
Kobolds, especially when their Dragon heritage is in the spotlight
Illithids
Dwarves
Just remember, no Elves.
>>52378978
Humans. Other than that, I love the Aasimar and Dragonborn for being great paladins.
>>52379643
could have had like his entire race genocided or something for a story and so the character is on their own or something
Gondola is the best meme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8Yod8FFIZg
Elves, orcs, any insectoid race, and a fantasy not!robots race
Dwarves are worst, never use them
>>52380123
I beg to differ.
>>52379729
>no Elves
what are you, gay?
I've always liked beastfolk. I thought they were one of the coolest looking races from Duel Masters/Kaijudo.
I like the weirder ones. Literal plant people (think Sylvari from Guild Wars 2), literal rock people, changelings and the like.
But it really depends on what you want to achieve with the different races in your world.
Thread for all gondola enthusiasts.

>posts worst dwarves that are nothing more than memes
thank you for proving my point
>>52380378
How's this guy for your tastes?
Dwarves, Larmacs, Wolfen
>>52380378
Why do you think Dwarf Fortress dwarves the worst dwarves anon? I'm not judging you, I only want to understand your point of view.
I love the mini/half giants, as it's a good alternative to half orcs for the really buff race, and I feel D&D did them well with Firbolgs (except how 5e ones look, holy fuck ).
Giants/psuedogiants.
I love playing tanks, and you haven't lived until you've played a giant melee bard who plays viking metal.
>>52379640
Ones a humanoid T-rex, the other is a humanoid T-rex with the T-rex sized dong.
>>52378978
Byzantine Illithids
!Not!Muslim Orcs
Gondola Nomads

>literally just a wide human
do not...ever...speak to me again

He's alright. Better than the typical dwarf stereotype, but trades it for just being a rogue stereotype
>>52379031
/thread
>>52380400
On a related note, despite my hatred of dwarves I thought this game's dorfs were decent enough
>>52378978
Ettins, because two heads are better than one.
Elves or Orcs
Dwarves, but only if the females have a beard.
>>52378978
They're adorable, possibly telepathic/empathic, and they have a tendency to turn up in the damnedest places.
>>52383326
you people are disgusting
>>52383484
Disgusting, but hilarious.
>>52378978
Blondie: In dis wolrd dere's two kinds of people :DD
Dose wit guns and those who digg. You digg. :DD
Tuco: FUG :DDD
>>52378978
Look to memes for inspiration, it can add a new layer of depth to your settings. For example, instead of Orcs my setting has Spurdos.

>>52378978
Anthropomorphic capybaras.
Centaurs or other races with partially unfamiliar physiology; that really nudges the noggin in regards to building a unique culture and civilization. What do their buildings, tools, and clothing look like? How do they integrate with "regular" types and vice versa? How can the PCs use their form to their advantage, and where might it hurt them or cause additional problems to solve?
I like beastfolk, specifically the unapologetically weeaboo furry-lite kawaii neko kind. Haters gonna hate.
>>52378978
Jews, every story needs a good villain race or two.
>>52379729
>no elves
Plantfolk: Myconids/Mushroom Men or Ents.
>>52379653
Nah, mascot suits seem really uncomfortable, and I don't want to fuck the races, just see them played or included in the setting.
>>52378978
Hot blue or green women, possibly with pointy ears. Bonuses to stamina and charisma.
Bird people.
Fish people.
Elves.
Nonhumanoid mineral based race.Why yes, Ocarina of Time IS my favorite game, however did you guess?
>>52378978
beastfolk for slavery reason
>>52388809
But they have to be really beastly, grills with cat ears wont do.
>>52378978
Goblins, !Not!Chinese Goblins
>>52378978
do you have any idea what you've just asked? /tg/ and races is a clusterfuck
>>52388860
>>52388809
Plot twist: Animalistic beastfolk are enslaved by both humans and kemonomimi beastfolk.
>>52388809
Yes, the Backwards City where Beasts walk as Man, and Man live like Beasts.
>>52378978
Kobolds. No magical realm shit, just playing them straight.
In my setting they're called the infinite horde. I run them as malicious vietcong cranked up to 11 and there's always more where they came from.
Despite their frailty, and low strength, and small size, the fact that all their tunnels are trapped to hell and back, and cramped and a tight fit for anything bigger than a goblin means nobody will ever properly clear them out.
They can eat anything and multiply like crazy so easy peasy infinite horde.
>>52378978
I find Halflings underrated.
Of course, many of them like it that way.
>>52378978
Warforged
Until I saw these guys, that is. Stubby is best race.
>>52397683
Cool, sounds like Tucker's Kobolds dialed up to 11.
>>52378978
Glass men, as in, anthropomorphic glass living in the setting's desert, with light and crystal magic and a ton of aesthetic sculptures, murals, and glass art.
>>52378978
Larva mages (worms that walk) are really cool.
>>52379729
>Truly dragon-blooded kobolds
Yesss
Fuckin' DnD has way too much thematic overlap in the "born from dragons" territory, and Kobolds are clearly the best.
>>52383398
>>52379513
Never Fucking mention Chakat ever again
