Tiefling, Dragonborn, Kender, Drow, Equestria. Just off the top of my head.

I've thankfully forgotten what Kender are, but I'm pretty sure... (does web search, ugh, yeah) ... I don't like them.

"Equestria" I am not going to research, but it reminds me TFT & GURPS have Centaurs, and that I don't like Centaurs to exist, even as NPCs.

Oh yeah and there are many terrible races I don't want to exist in GURPS Fantasy Folk, too. I even tried playing with some of them. Some could be ok, but I really like the number of non-human races to be limited, not abundant, as they tend to complicate a setting and make it less believable for me. GURPS Fantasy Folk has "Exalted Horses", which are a bit like My Little Pony or Flutter Ponies without wings or something, and are available in strawberry color IIRC. I played one in an arena combat once. It was also the first time I was trying out the GURPS momentum rules, and I charged forward to trample my opponent into the dirt. He stepped sideways, and my Exalted Horse found itself unable to decelerate in time to avoid crashing into the arena wall behind the foe, knocking itself unconscious, bringing my experience with Exalted Horses to a slapstick and mercifully quick halt! (So, I played an Exalted Horse for about two seconds of game time.)

Quote from: Chainsaw;1046257Prefer human-only, tolerate basic elves/dwarves and really dislike most of the rest, such halflings and all the dragonborn and tiefling type garbage that I first saw in 4E. I wouldn't mind an occasional game where people played a robot, a slime, a fairy etc. Kind of a monster party, if you will.

I'm kinda here as well... But wouldn't be adverse to playing something different for a one-shot or something.

Quote from: Omega;1046237So far nothing has really stood out as a hard "NO" for me. It is all about how someone plays the character.

That's definitely the most important part of it alright... But just certain character aspects just stick in my craw. I think some of these uber races would always bring out the bad in a lot of players (for the most part). Some are a bit too outlandish for my own personal taste as well. Becuase I tend to like low fantasy stuff for my actual fantasy settings.

I've not heard of the Kender, so I had to do another wiki. Pixie kind of things?? Another race definitely not for me...

Quote from: Christopher Brady;1046297Personally, and I'm going to get burned at the stake for this, but I actually like what 4e tried to do with Halflings by making them into River Gypsies, it was inventive and different enough to give them a new identity that wasn't/isn't still leashed to Tokien.

Halfings in Birthright are river gypsies.

As for my own tastes in random order, I like humans in all settings. Elves are boring to me in most settings except Dark Sun. Dwarfs are meh, as are halflings. Don't like half races, except perhaps Mül. Warforged are quite cool. I also liked tieflings in Planescape, but current all tieflings look the same and are a true race take is not so thrilling. Changelings are cool too. I have banned dragonborn from my games on the grounds of them being a 4e marketing move. Drow edgelords can go back underground for all I care, but on the other hand if I were to run/play an underdark campaign, suddenly they become a viable choice. Gnomes I can stand, but I can't see myself playing one.

Lion people as proud warriors? Fine. Ok, they're Klingons with fur.

Tiger men that are just ogre magi with stripes? Why not? Sounds cool.

Bipedal jaguars that want to stalk you in the jungle and capture you alive to sacrifice to their gods on the top of their ziggurat? Awesome.

"Cat people" that act like a cross between an annoyingly immature anime girl and a house pet because it's "cute"? Have that shit spayed or neutered before there are any more roaming the streets.

Quote from: Brad;1046253Literally the worst part of the 5th edition PHB...I wish I could rip those pages out without fucking up my book.

No need to worry.  If it is like many of the other 5e PHBs, it will fall apart soon enough and you can easily dispose of those pages then.   At least the Half- whatever races are optional.  

I dislike all of the 1/2- whatevs, 1/2 elf, 1/2 orc, 1/2 devil (tiefling), 1/2 dragon (dragonborn), 1/2 bird (aarakocra), 1/2 elemental (genasi) and with a recent Unearthed Arcana, 1/2 horse (centaur) and 1/2 bull (minotaur)  With the latter, should there also be a 1/2 cow option?  How about some gender options?  The lower half of the centaur and minotaur can be male and the upper half female?  (a little fantasy futanari to appease a certain sort.  Don't search that word at work, BTW.)  WotC missed an opportunity to be more inclusive here.  

Someone had to say it.    

Give elves the problems handling iron, like in folklore.  Makes things interesting.

There was no watermark and I just printed it for personal use. I did the same thing with Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Annihilation since that was the only way to get it in print.

Quote from: Brad;1046269The basic rules don't have paladins and gnomes...so that won't work.

But the SRD does and it's also free.

As with everything, depends on its implementation.

Dwarf: Warhammer "drunken Scotsmen" dwarves get really fucking old after a while as that's less a race than a one-note personality type. Tend to go back to Tolkien with these guys and then make them a bit weirder. Close-mouthed clannish greedy jerks in robes who wear iron masks to keep out the sun, keep tongueless goblin slaves, and refuse to sleep above ground. Had fun playing an lower upper-middle class dwarf who hired a valet.

Halfling: OK, as long as you don't try to turn them into badasses in a really forced and annoying way. Halflings aren't supposed to be badasses.

Elves: good as long as you make them properly fey, not a bunch of ren faire dorks.

Like the humanoid races as long as you differentiate them and give them their own cultures, not just a palette swap of the same basic thing. My last setting I cooked up had deranged druidic goblins, mercentary masochistic Quechuaish orcs, Aborigone/weird-ass gnoll biology gnolls, kobolds are figments of dragon memory, and lizardmen caravan merchants whose voices could only be heard by children due to their high pitch. Pretty much all of them the PCs got along better with than with my jerkass dwarves and elves.

In earlier years I would play anything but human - humans were boring! Bring on dwarves, elves, centaurs, pixies, mongrelmen, trolls (shadowrun) you name it I played it!

Recently however I prefer a low magic game and prefer humans and dwarves. Dislike Tolkien elves, but like Dark Sun version, or other versions where elves are decadent, twisted folk due to their insanely long lives (eg 13th Age's drug addled elf city, forget the name). Halflings I dislike, except again Dark Sun version, or Kender. Love kender! Warforged I also like.

Dislike gnomes. I dont get them, I guess they're mini elves? Definitely don't like Tieflings or Dragonborn. If half the party are monstrous, it makes the "real" monsters less scary. Although having said that, I like Draconians out of Krynn. As baddies.

I dont mind half orcs and so on. I quite like that idea actually.

Hmmm. I've been looking to get my Transformers RPG printed up, so I have it in proper book format.

Quote from: The Exploited.;1046234Oh man... Ugh! They sound like every kid's wet dream to play. Very cheesy in my opinion and wouldn't suit my games at all. But each to their own and all.

There's only one place for crazy stuff like that: RIFTS. And there you can play a Dragon proper. THAT's a kid's wet dream.

Kind of depends on the campaign. I'm normally okay with dwarves, elves, and humans as a default. Not too big on halflings (swap them out with more Germanic-spirit kobolds to make them a bit more interesting than Small-sneaky humanoid), and orcs really bug me (not as a monster, but as a playable race).
