Speaking of Verdurans, I'm going to steal a picture of the verduren girl from the cos web site and use it for my picture here, hope they don't mind :)

All the races just have to have something I don't like,but so far Waerians are winning.

So... have you read about the Jenemos race on the www.citadelofsorcery.com website?  I did, and boy is this a strange race.  BAD LUCK!  It seems that this is their primary trait.  At first I was appaled by the idea, that's the LAST thing I want to have so why would I ever play a race that has bad luck?  Or why include one in my group?

But, then I started thinking about the possibilities.  It says that their bad luck strikes their opponents more than themselves or their friends.  Hmm, that could be useful.  I mean, you are facing the big bad evil Liche (if they have those) and he casts a death ray at the party, which backfires and kills him (or all his minions). 

Or a squad of bad guys is charging you when the roof caves in on them and wipes out the entire lot.

Or dust gets in all the archers eyes and they can't shoot you. 

If bad luck strikes your opponents more than your group, this could be really good.

Then there is the amusement factor.  It says that the bad luck tend to strike in the funniest way possible.  That sounds interesting.  Every fantasy game needs some comedy, and watching your opponent cast a lightning bolt spell that fries all his minions by accident until they are black in face with their hair all stuck out would be funny indeed. 

OK, so I might stick a Jenemos in my group, just to see what happens.  What do the rest of you think?

Stick one in my group?  Hell no!  I'm going to play one!  I just love the idea that funny shit is going to happen when I'm around.  I'm typically a loner in games anyway, though I'm willing to group up with the right people, I often like adventuring a lot of time on my own... this Jenemos race sounds custom made for me, they are nomads and loners, perfect!   As for the bad luck striking my character, fine, as long as it's funny when it does, that's just good entertainment.   (See, I'm already thinking like a Jenemos). 

I wonder if the game will actually let us attend these all night wild Jenemos parties that take place four times a year.  It's going to get the game a 'Mature' rating though...  Fine by me. 

Renata, here is that other thread about races.  I bumped it up so you can find it.

yeah, this is one of the longer ones, it was started before they released any info on races at their web site.
