This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

DCC: what race-as-class would you want?

So for such a radical game, DCC makes very conservative choices for its PC races, which is fine because they do a very good job with them, but I was wondering what other race would DCC fans like to see as a PC-race in the game?

For all Goodman games made of DCC going back to D&D's sword and sorcery roots, you'd think they'd give us serpent men and Frazetta-esque ape-men.

Mind Flayers and/or Gorbels.
Don\'t forget rule no. 2, noobs. Seriously, just don\'t post there. Those guys are nuts.

Speak your mind here without fear! They\'ll just lock the thread anyway.

Yeah, this. Lizard/snake-men and Ape-men.

Minotaurs and Insectoids (thinking Legend of Grimrock here).

Snake/Lizard Men get my vote.

I would still like to see an Assassin Class, or Barbarian.

I don't know how well Ape-men would work/fit. I think a Barbarian class would be the better option here.

Maybe a Solomon Kane/Captain Kronos style Vampire/Witch Hunter? But without the guns?

I know, most of my suggestions aren't races... but there you are...

I like the serpent/apemen, minotaurs and insectoids ideas. I'd like to see something that creates a different playing experience. Apemen and Minotaurs might play just like really strong Warriors. How close would Insectoids cleave to the Elf class?

I'd like something interesting (not necessarily exotic) that also fills a gap in the classes already available. Say the quintessential half-orc assassin, as a quick example.

And while my phone is an important tool for my daily life, it is not a life-saving device that KEEPS MY HEART FROM EXPLODING. Fuck, Tony. Get your shit together, pal."

Yeah, Libertad, i believe, on this very forum. I also posted a Centaur one here. I'm not too happy with it tbh, but the groundwork is there.

Centaurs, Satyrs, and (medium or large sized) Cyclopes.

The Mosaic Oracle is on sale now. It\'s a raw, open-sourced game design Toolk/Kit based on Lurianic Kabbalah and Lambda Calculus that uses English key words to build statements. If you can tell stories, you can make it work. It fits on one page. Wait for future games if you want something basic; an implementation called Wonders and Worldlings is coming soon.
