Gnomes, most likely the most cool race out there for AD&D. Yes these insane
little guys put wonder into our lives with the inventions and illusions and
overall whackyness. You notice that none of the big Video Game RPGs have our
Gnomie friends so by all means go insane with a Gnome!

Keep it in the AD&D conference, we don't need THIS many items, please check
with kain or me before entering new items. (I never thought we needed separate
conferences for FF#!)

        Plork, it would behoove you to allow this item to continue, and to
NOT discourage item-making. Trust me, i FW-ed paradox for awhile, and my
biggest problem was getting people to enter anything!
        Also, this is a game-neutral favorite race item. I like it.
My favorite would probably be the Kirn from ManHunter.

I agree

        What your favorite is the Kirn, from ManHunter? <grin>

What's manhunter?

        A Book RPG, dear lad. It was recently put into a Sourcebook for use
with Rifts, with proper  licencing from Palladium, of course..

I think you misunderstand me, just restrain yoursrelfs to popular topics, not
just ones you like. Other than that, enter away, and I won't freeze this IF you
kewep it running..

        And are YOU to determine what's a popular topic? I think not! Don't
let your ego run this cf, or it will die!

Let's cool our heas, people. This is a place to Speak our minds in peace.
But I digress...Imagine a fight between a Storyteller-system Werewolf and
a gnome....<splat>

Thanx. Guys I am Just saying keep the responses coming and this stays alive.
NOW, can someone tell me all these happydoodle good things about gnomes?

I'm sorry to disagree with you, but in all of my years of gaming, (and they are
many), I have never, NEVER, met a gnome that could be trusted any farther than
they could be thrown by a female halfling.  They are a disgusting, dirty,
backstabbing,  squirrel mugging race of chipmunk molesters.  I have more fun
with  them than any other race in my campaigns, when I can find a player brave 
enough to rp one.

welcome to rpg darrel!

yup

Thanks for the welcome.  Btw, here's a question from pre-2nd edition
D&
D&D (I'll get it right yet!)  What is a Cavalier paladins worst
nightmare?  A female anti-cavalier.  Get it?  Oops, that has nothing
to do with gnomes, does it?  Never mind. :-)

???????

gnomes are cool.  on the issue of werewolves vs. the highly interesting race, I
know one gnome who would win: Nevernarfin, gnomish character of ori's campaign
he would honk his funky horn, blind the werewolfwith clouds of smoke, and then
slice away with a polearm he invented: the SNIP-O-MATIC!

Yup, then promptly become Purina Werewolf Chow!

OK, But what happens when the rest of the pack finds out? 

UH, OH!!!

GRRRRRRR!

I am desperate so I'm responding to everything.

It sucks to be you, wurm.

yup

Best RPG race?  Fay.  I really, really hope Changeling has the quality of 
MAGE, not the original stupidity of Werewolf. Hell, it might even get me to 
play a WW game, or at least steal from it.

<loud, angry voice> WHAT"S WRONG WITH WEREWOLF!!?!?!?!?!?

Uh, uh, I give up!  What is wrong with Werewolf, starwolf?

give me a wraith anyday....
or one of the quick...<H:TG>

Nothing, just venting my outrage at mneme's comment

Heh. I'm just not into gaian nature-loving werewolves witha clear foe.  The 
Veil makes things entirely too easy (the Vampires have the Masqurade, the 
Werewolves hae the Veil, the Mages Paradox...) and artifiality breaks my 
disbelief.  If I was going to something like that, I'd call it "Changers" 
and make it a society ofall kinds of halfbreeds, not "all Gaia's little
Lupines" that WW has created.

I didn't even know werewolves was a pc race.

They can be if the DM allows them

heheheheh Alaghi are prettuy neat...

I've heard of plans to make the Beholder a PC race!

I've made all species of octiopus legal in my campaign!!!

(It's kinda cool, if ya think abkout it.)

(Sorry about spelling; I'm having problems with my telnet client.)

Sure, werewolves and vampires and Fay are a Pc race, s long as you're playing 
something reasonably cool, like Nightlife, or Over the Edge, or WW, rather than
D$D

or Wraith the Oblivion, or Vampire, the Masquerade, or Werewolf the Apocalypse,
or...

Din't ya see that "WW?"  IT means White Wolf, after all... (I could have used 
WoD if I wanted to).

You can use any race in AD&D as a PC race, as long as the DM allows it.  You
don't need any White Wolf products to play one of those were- or undead races.
Just a DM who'll accept the idea...

My pet idea for a PC race though is to roleplay a DEITY....so far, i haven't
seen a system that will let you, although I hear White Wolf has something
