I wonder how modern fantasy would look like if the default races were the Plinian/Herodotian races like the Blemmyae, Sciapods or the Cynocephali instead of the Tolkienesque elves, dwarves and orcs.
These races are too deformed to be playable races, they are basically monsters. Maybe Plinians could be a playable race.
>>98093025The only ancient race of people/ Herodotian race (cool term) that can work are the Arimaspoi imo. A race of normal people but are all cyclops that war with griffins/dragons for gold. Being foreign/barbarians gives them that unknown element of being friends or enemies. So they're trapped in being an evil race like tolkien orcs/trolls/goblins. Arimaspoi also gives you an excuse to have bronze age level drip in your setting
I wonder how modern /tg/ would look like if the resident retards would just make what they want, instead of making threads wondering why nobody makes the things they want for them or wondering why this or that thing isn't popular.
>>98093630>Why do people discuss things on a forum to discuss thingsfirst and last reply your dumb post will get.>>98093025Blemmyaes are cool, the elden ring take on them I think was inpsired. Giant/cyclopes and Blemmy all in one.I also want to add wodewoses/woses, hairy forest men who have turned their back on civilisation even at the stone age level
