<P><FONT SIZE=2>I read this and wonder how people played most non-human races in their games.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>In my world, nobody ever played a Faeery. Never.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I think I might have seen ONE elf. The problem being that for the most part, many cultures don't like or trust elves (especially around Donara, which being close to Caldo (the main center we tended to use) was troublesome. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dwarves were more accepted, at least in cultures with any sort of elder respect.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>In short, my world was much more humano-centric then Scott's obviosly was for his play-by-mail game (and probably face-to-face games). I guess I played my world a lot more gritty-realistic in that sense in that non-human races just tended to get crapped on by the cultures in the area, so they relagate themselves to their various enclaves. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Richard, you have in book 3 some mentioned notes on non-human society. Could you do a article to clarify some of those points? Maybe make a cultural thesis on the non-human races (or even human for that matter) in regards to station. How one might obtain one level and examples, etc. Priesthood I believe you did this well with the ranks and such and it woul dbe nice for the other areas like non-humans (and/or humans). The info is there to work with but for some new to such things (newbies) might help them figure out things and how to play say a Elf trying to become king... ie rites of passage....dos/don'ts..taboos..etc... </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>In stormbringer they detail alot of this with their Elan system of using magic so would be nice to see a more detailed explanation of society and station in pnp. :)</FONT></P>
