     I am not an expert on what is in which written source, but pray tell; in which written source does it say that the Elfs and Dwarfs are _not_ descended from the Man Rune? You are free to suit yourself in this matter, but: a) if I have to chose between the authorities, I'll pick Sandy (the one with the biology degree) over you. No offense. b) it all leads back to what I was originally driving at; access to more non-human PCs that aren't deranged.

     How many people have seriously tried to play a dwarf or an elf in strict adherence to the sorts of societal descriptions given here on the Digest? Was it a good or a bad experience? Opinion poll time....
