Cyradon GMs: What races are most popular in your games. Are people mainly playing the refugees, the natives or an even split?
-
My experience has overwhelmingly been players wanting to play the native races (at least 1 gryphon and 1 Rhona), but I always try to make sure there are one or two refugees in the group.
-
We haven't had anyone do a Gryphon yet, but when I go back to Cyradon my son will probably want to make one

As a follow-up question, do your players, when they use pregenerated characters, prefer details about race & culture in the notes or would they prefer such notes in more detailed examinations of the relevant races/cultures.
For example, say there is a choice of a Mablung healer: would they prefer details of what it is like to be one, etcetera, as part of the general write up of Mablung healers as part of, or separate from, the character write-up?
-
IMHO as a hand out I would like it in the PC sheet and as a GM I would like it in the description in the book. So my vote is both places so each of the people see it.

I've found from tournament experience that a short para for the unusual or world-specific races is a must. So I'd want to see that, especially in the context of the PC in question ("Galan is a priest of Benwash, the Mablung God of Healers, but unlike most servants of Benwash, who yada yada, Galan likes to daya daya ..
