Long ago, in the far off lands of Norwagona, your race came into existence. No one is sure what caused the mutation of human genes which resulted in decreased stature, and increased brainpower, but the gnomish race have proved useful ever since. For a long time enslaved by their old brethren, the Gnomes have only just now become a "free" race, and have used their new found freedom to explore new places, in hopes of finding a place they can truly call home. Gnomes are natural tinkerers and inventors, and as such have gained the ability to explore worlds so far off, the other civilized races could have never dreamed of reaching. You find yourselves on one of these very realms, the civilized races far behind you. What could await you in these wild, untamed lands?

1: Demon
2: Mountains/Volcanic?
3: Medium or Large

[GreatWyrmGold]

Desert Gnomes in a Low-population-density area, with a trollish minority.

[Weirdsound]

Centaur, Tundra, Small

[escaped lurker]

1 - Vampires with Skaven Slaves
2 - A Swamp as homestead
3 - Large Populations nearby

[GreatWyrmGold]

Alright...so we're leaning slightly towards a Small population and even more slightly away from a Medium one, with no idea what we want for the race or environment...

[BlastoiseWarlorf]

We're quite indecisive, aren't we? How about I throw the current voted ones into a hat and draw out one of each? I'm entirely serious, it's that or continue voting.

[Weirdsound]

Yeah. Just roll it. Random.org saves you the trouble of finding a hat and tearing up bits of paper.

[GreatWyrmGold]

There's other options. You could force each of us to vote for one that isn't ours, for instance.

[Alexandria]

1: Demon
2: Mountains/Volcanic?
3: Large

Or I could just pick one for you all .

[GreatWyrmGold]

If we do do my idea:

1 - Vampires with Skaven Slaves
2 - A Swamp as homestead
3 - Large Populations nearby

[Chink]

Desert Gnomes in a Low-population-density area, with a trollish minority.

+1

[BlastoiseWarlorf]

I'm fine with re-voting, Let me create a poll for the thread. Please pick one which you DIDN'T create

[escaped lurker]

Well, all options do have their merits. Pretty sure it will be fun either way.

Only aversion that I have would be the Centaurs, seeing as they won't settle down. Knowing what that did to their somewhat "real" counterpart - mongolia / the golden horde - is actually quite the downer. Except taking over multiple states of china, multiple times, and raiding anything from japan to hungary, their economics were... lacking. Severly. There is only that much that one can achieve with small-time animal husbandry and hunting. Obviously this topic might be treated more balanced in the game, but still, this could spark heaps of FUN. Actually.. this also might turn out very well. Just into another direction 

[GreatWyrmGold]

Hey, starting a land war in Asia and winning is impressive enough once. Multiple times? They would have been fun to play--waves of glory, with a nice big finish.
