Vote Up a Campaign Setting (3E/4E)

[UnChosenOne]

30%, but have higher level of power that other races. Think like having higer tech-level or greater mage-potenttial than other's.

[Athaniar]

As much as I'd like to completely vote out the decadent and vile mankind, I'll settle for the lowest, then. 30%. Oh, and please don't make the humans the rulers of the other races or something like that, or that all the other races are variations of humans. Please, no fantasy racism.

Down with mankind! Their dominion shall end!

[afroakuma]

For the curious, even if humans were a mere 20% of the total, they would still outnumber all but the Half-Djinn. Though at 10% they would in fact be outnumbered even by gnolls.

There's a reason I had 10% and 20% removed as options.

As to all you with signing statements on your votes:
They are all being ignored with great prejudice.

[Ekeralos]

60% lets keep other races exotic

why? whats wrong with a human minority?

[Athaniar]

why? whats wrong with a human minority?

Nothing, I tell you! But these Garithos wannabees will not listen!

Hear my rallying cry, non-humans! Our forces will prevail!

[starwoof]

30% humans!

[afroakuma]

why? whats wrong with a human minority?

The fact that the next race up would be half-djinn.

Which would somewhat monkey-wrench the Moderate magic level.

What says they have to be all that magic? And perhaps the relatively few djinni have lots of children? Come on, do not give in to the darkness that is pro-human prejudice.

[afroakuma]

I dind't at all. You'll notice I also severed 90% and 100%.

[streakster]

80% - I want the other races to feel special. If there's a whole city of half-djinn, they kinda aren't that rare anymore...

[Owrtho]

I think I'll vote for 40%. As much as I dislike humans as a race, the setting seems to be best suited to them being the most common. And it doesn't seem right for 2 out of every 5 people to be half-djinn...

[puppyavenger]

because they make the previous vote pretty useless?

[afroakuma]

That was the grounds for exclusion of 100%.

[MammonAzrael]

I agree with Owrtho that Half-Djinn shouldn't account for such a huge percentage of the population. Thus, I vote for 50%. This makes every other person you meet non-human (or at least only partially human)

[Fako]

I want 50% human population... half-breeds in a half-human culture, possibly half of them being half-baked... *stops*

[Pronounceable]

Down with mankind! Their dominion shall end!

Never! It was us who dreamt up all those nonhuman beasts, and it's us who can destroy them! We shall destroy all who oppose our manifest destiny. Then we shall destroy all nonhumans anyway... Fascism FTW.


Trolling the thread aside, have you decided what to do with djinns and other supernatural critters or will you put that up to vote as well?

[afroakuma]

Interesting that you should ask that. The next vote may have some bearing...

[Pantler]

50% Blah blah blah

[AgentPaper]

Might wanna think about having another vote, to vote on the prevalence of each race. Like, each person can vote for one race that they think should be more populous, then the totals for each determining their percent of non-humans.

It was decided before the race vote that raw popularity would translate to prevalence.

[kopout]

40% a human minority but not much of one

[Owrtho]

It was decided before the race vote that raw popularity would translate to prevalence.

But that isn't necessarily true. Just because a lot of people might want a given race, doesn't mean they want it to be common. I myself wanted the half-ghul more than any of the others, but I'd think they should be rather rare, while gnolls and lizardfolk which I wanted much less I think should be somewhat common.

Owrtho

[Draz74]

Hmmm. Like many other voters, I want a large Human segment of the world, but I will still vote

30%

... because otherwise the truly nonhuman races, the Lizardfolk and Gnolls, will be ridiculously rare. I'm voting for 30% Human because then, at least, Lizardfolk will be up at 17% of the world.

Humans and part-humans will still be 74% of civilization. Hopefully the setting will encourage some kind of motivation for part-humans to act as human as possible.

[streakster]

Please change my 80% vote to 50%.

I did some revised math.

[Lyndworm]

I vote 30%. It just feels right.

Zack

[Zeta Kai]

All votes are tallied.

[Tuataralad]

I'll go with 50%.

[Inyssius Tor]

Owrtho

Definitely this.

Also, 70%.

[Reverent-One]

I'll say 50%.
