That is pretty awesome.
When H reveals the "big boss" is actually just a level 3 super rich orc will be pretty great too.
"Yay" for good guys 12,345 and Bad Guys-0.

The good news is I will be there.
The bad news is that I have been fighting off a slight case of the plague for the last few days. I hope to be in gaming shape by Saturday, but I really need to make my fort save here soon...

I have preemptively removed my pants. Burritos sound delicious.

March 22nd? March 29th?
These things work for me. Earlier than that does not work for me.

I'd rather do March 22. I might be able to make the 29th work, but I think the wife and I will be off work on that following Monday and Tuesday, and there's an off chance we'll be taking a trip somewhere.

I believe James and I are both out on the 22nd as that is the home opener for the Rapids. I am open on the 29th.

Ok, that actually gives me an idea. Gents, I am naming a new race. Here is the initial description.... Quote: The Treliman are a Small race that were once semi-nomadic, roaming the continent as they chose. They lived in tribes, and many of them still do. However, they have been incorporated into civilization. It is highly fashionable to have these small people as servants. They don't eat nearly as much as humans, and they can be easily packed into servants quarters. They are often seen running errands through city streets for the masters. In some places they are treated little better than slaves, and in others they do pretty well for themselves. They usually go unnoticed, which many consider appropriate for servants.
The Treliman villages have found that national boundaries have made their nomadic lifestyle almost impossible. Some of them talk about going into the wild lands and living as their ancestors did, but they recognize that orcs, goblins, and other terrible creatures were part of the reason their ancestors moved around. Living without that sounds great. Instead, they primarily form several villages within a day or two walking of each other in the lesser populated regions of the human nations. They trade with the humans, and their fine work in crafting jewelry is particularly prized. Dwarves will often sell the Trelimar raw materials at a discount. With village life, of course the Treliman have taken to farming out of necessity, but they enjoy experimenting with their small gardens along with hunting as the nomadic sense has not left them entirely. They have been found in all sorts of climates, and they never seem bothered by the weather.
They stand on average 3'9", but maintain roughly human proportions, but their faces appear slightly large in proportion. Their skin is tinted lightly green (this coloring), and there are white spots except on their faces, hands, and feet. Think of a baby deer's spots. They are not stark white, but close enough to white. It's very cute. You'd love it if I had any ability to draw. Their hair is also white. Of course those in service to others wear livery of some sort, and those in Trelimar societies also wear human-style clothes, but typically less than humans would wear. The white hair freaks out a lot of nobles and other assholes, so they often have their servants dye it to a more human color.
This race has flamboyant members, malcontants, and heroes, just as all races. These reflect trends, not rules for the race. Alright, so... here's the deal. The name is not at all fixed. I would like each of you to propose a name for a race. I will decide whether any of them are better than Trelimen, and if so then I'll pick the best. The winner gets the right to bitch about names in the next campaign. Those who propose "Cocksmen" or whatever will probably not suffer any great wraith, but I will assuredly think of giving you the evil eye later.

Trelimen is a pretty good name and I don't really think you have to go further. It might need a second L. Races are ludicrously hard to name in general. Lizardmen, Grippili, Catmen... these names are descriptive to some degree. Tengu, Dhampir, Ifrit, Elves- these are real world derived, and there are actually people who believe in them IRL (Ifrit having millions of people who believe that they really exist, the others having less).
So we have a pretty big gulf of name quality. Basically anything based on a real world name defaults into a fucking badass name, and then there's this chasm into Crapshoot Name Area. I think that how you like "Lizardmen" (or the new politically correct "Lizardfolk") depends entirely on how you feel about such a descriptive name. I'm sure Lizardmen wouldn't be a big fan of that. In their language, do they call humans "monkey-people"? In my games, a recurring custom races in the pastoral and laid back Nilaks, a name that my friend Eric came up with back in middle school.
Here's some that work with perhaps ancient misgivings about their associations with plants or nature:
Belarramen Muru Verdannen
Here's some based on their perceived role as subservient to man:
Orhaven Daormen Esklabi
Here's some I chose for good phonetics and nothing more:
Tilmessen Naratesh Grathar
Here's some selected to be diminutive. They might assume a bit much though: Pennyfolk Smallshoes Grassies Greenbells
