Gun to your head, you can only put 5 humanoid/demihuman races in your setting. After those five, you’re done. You chose humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, and ents? No gobbos and orcs for you. What are you choosing?

>>97265668I'm aware that those exist, but I don't know enough about their anatomy and culture to make qualified decision whether to include them.
>>97265480Diogeni (They are humans with a new nameDagauri (Elves)Magnabarbae (Dwarves)Barofures (Kender)Collocutiplanta (Ents)
I was thinking about only having human offshoot races (and no original humans)but it's hard to come up with 5 that don't fall into a normal scheme like elements or something, I'd want most of them to be from different categoriespost-humans corrupted by demonspost-humans ascended by technologypost-humans attuned to the classical elements shit like that

>>97265937Funny thing, there's a tcg with that premise of a sortsThe background lore is that in the modern day, five different portals pop up around the globe, releasing horrible gribbly monsters everywhere, and it's discovered each of them is a time portal to a different possible future for humanityOne is where humans have bioengineered superhuman bodies for themselves and essentially fight one another for eternity in pursuit of perfectionAnother is where advances in engineering-technology has turned half of humanity into cyborg post-humans that threaten to kill off regular humanityA third one is where humans basically invented magic to turn themselves into angelic beings that seek to control the multiverse in search of complete orderA fourth is where terraforming projects have gone out of control and forced humanity to integrate plantlife into itself in order to survive the ever-expanding verdant hellAnd the scariest one is one where humans have become obsessed with conquering Death to the point of becoming consumed by it, leaving countless undead and the demonic vampiric overlords controlling them to seek other worlds to drain them dry until they're barren wastelands tooAll of that just to sell trading cards
>>97265597I'd play it
>>97266018Red, Blue, White, Green, Black.
>>97265937My thoughts for a concept like this>Humans had advanced tech/scifi space empire>Genetically engineer shit so we have humanoid animals like cats, dogs, reptiles, even plants>Society collapses and humans mostly die out>Genetically engineered creations rebuild society and humans are extremely rare
