Thread Questions:
>If you have any non-human sapients species/races in your setting, what are they? And do you tend to stick to ones you’ve made, classic ones like Dwarves, Elves, etc., or a mixture of the two?
>When making said original races, what advice do you have/what is the process that you use, and what races have you made with said process/resources? And how do you make sure that they’re distinct/non-redundant?
>What are your feelings on typical fantasy races like the aforementioned two, Orcs, Goblins, etc.? And how do you go about putting your own twists on said races/make them less generic?
>How can you tell when you have enough races and/or sub-races in your setting? And what do you need to consider when designing the cultures for the races and how they interact with each other?
>Were any of your races created artificially? If so, who did it and why?
>Lastly, how does creating science fiction races/species differ from creating ones for fantasy settings, and what are some common archetypes you’ve seen and/or used or would like to use for either? What about races in science fantasy settings?
