Greetings alfans,

Today we want to learn more about what the community of alfa thinks of this issue. It is one rare occasion where each and every member of this community has the opportunity to express their opinion, each vote equal to the other. As such, here are two questions that we'd like you all to answer, whether you are a builder, a dm or a player.

A second question is in this thread:

Maybe, depends on where and why.

No. I don't know enough about them to accurately play one, be it genasie, tiefling or aasimar...and I feel I have a good enough selection to choose from PC race wise as is.

I might see myself playing an aasimar once, but even then it's a maybe. I don't have any strong wish to play a planetouched. For me it's more about allowing others to do so if they wish.

Can we have Psycho Leo's mom included as a playable race?

No, cause everyone would play her.

I've played an air genasi corsair, but he's probably too awesome for all of you demon-drow-vampire-sex-rape fantasy-dark mysticism-other shallow cliché-fanboi-luddites :mad:.

I would play a tiefling once just because it's cool.

Well you know ALFA, there will still be Human prostitution, young halfling abuse, drow-demon sex, bearded dwarf school girl fetish and elven bdsm.

So your air genasi in corset might not be out of context here ;) .

Heresy!

It's elven dominance/submission. There's a difference!

I think its interesting that only 20% of respondents would definitely play a planetouched PC.

Yes, the numbers are starting to show some interesting data, especially when you compare both questions.

I think you'd probably see similar numbers if you asked how many people would play a drow, gray dwarf or smurf.

The majority of players stick to the classic elf/dwarf/halfling/human.

More people are interested in the fact that choice is offered than feel the need to actually exercise the ability to make that choice?

This IS very interesting...

Or else it's just kind of normal.
