| Subject: | New Races, and how they came about |
| Date: | Thu, 15 Jul 1993 11:38:18 -0500 |
How could new races have suddenly come about? Where did the Minotaur come
from? The Gnome?
I think I have a way we could work this in.
Society sees a Minotaur. They are similiar in size to a Troll (although a
little different in that they have no dermal armour). But, because
society is blind and doesn't like change, they just classify this poor guy
as a troll and leave it as that.
After several years, as more and more Minotaur goblinize and they become
mroe noticeable, a political movement begins working towards defining them
as a seperate race of meta. The same can apply to Ogres (similiar to
trolls), Goblins (similiar to both orks and dwarves) and Gnomes (similiar
to dwarves). The TOSA is _really_ just an affirmation that these persons
have been recognized as a seperate race now. They've really been there
for a long time, just classified incorrectly. Because they got a later
start compared to other metas, they missed out on the first round of
classifications.
With a little creative writing, it could all be worked out perfectly.
