Actually, This could be a great Adventure idea ... Protect the Miss Troll
(or Ork or whatever) UCAS pageant from the Humanis or sabotage the
paageant ... Body Guard Duty for a Troll or Ork Trid/Simsense star (who
insists on hitting on the PCs ;) As well as comic relief (an aging,
goblinized Pamela Lee still on Buttwa--err -- Baywatch due the miracles
of plastic surgery [go figure ;) ] )
BTW, by "larger Size" models do mean larger than a 12" waist? ;)
Males of the list: how many of you would "go for" the different metatypes
and which ones?
(To answer my own question: Dwarves, Elves and humans deffinately, maybe
Orks, and on the very outside chance Trolls :)
Females of the list: Same question. (I felt if I didn't make the
distinction, it wouldn't be apparent that I was asking both genders :)
Btw, do female dwarves have facial hair? The descript in the BBB doesn't
say so IIRC, but Jett seemed to mention something about them having
some... I recall somewhere that they did but I'm pretty sure that's from
another RPG systems ...

Cheers back at ya ;)

Oh no! Pamela Lee has Goblinized into a Plastic Troll! Run away! Run
Away!
(Ok, It's late my brain is running on empty [barely running is more like
it ;) ] I need to go nite-nite before I say something stupid ... [too
late! ;) ])
