Neglected Underdark races

[Undead Pete]

Many people have noted how tired they are of the drow. I'm not among them, but I feel that many other underdark races have fallen by the wayside.

Which race do you feel should be the focus of a Dragon magazine much like the Drow one that should be out any day now?

Rom

Rom? As in, gypsies? I don't get this one.

 

[Yuan-Ti]

I'm tired of the underdark, too. It's too closely connected to drowism for me. So, I voted other, as in NONE.

On a side note, Mongoose has a Slayer's Guide to Troglodytes.

Snfiver... snfirlve... deep gnomes!

 

[Hand of Evil]

Other as in Cloakers.

I don't think WOTC has done justice for the drow yet, some stuff is good but I think a 3rd party should revamp them.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Hrm, I think Derro would be interesting to see...

i'm with Yuan-Ti on this one -- i'm not a fan of the Underdark at all.

i think the "Rom" he's referring to is a race of cave-dwelling undead giants from the old Al-Qadim setting, correct?

Rom? As in, gypsies? I don't get this one.

The Rom are a race of undead giants found in Arabian and African folklore.

Personally I think I've found my replacements for Underdark races. Cavern hags, ratmen and High Gorgons work well for me. But then that's just me. Course I don't care much for the Underdark since it's a kind of tired concept in my mind.

I think Mongoose has a Duergar guide coming out soon...
