Dad, where do new character races come from?
Well, sometimes a gamemaster gets a text from a goth girl who is also a game master...

Unseelie Fae owe allegiance to Queen Nyctalis of Broceliande. She may call upon them for a service.

Noice ! Solid custom job.
Is that faerie module up for sale?
What a bro.
Also, I like the notion that only those branded "unseelie" would sully their hands with "adventuring."
My own Seelie Courts would be way too uptight.

Yes, of course:
It's Cube World #29 which is, as of this writing, at the top of this page: http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-store.html
Email me: zakzsmith AT hawtmayle dawt calm if you're confused.
@Penny Dreadful
I kind of assume that elves are a hybrid race euguenically created by fae to do most of the adventuring. But if a girl wants to be a faerie why would you stop her?
I think the Pick One list is missing devil tail as an option.
@Jeff Rients
Excellent point.
Fixed.
I like the use of the word Unseelie
I have to say having a tiny PC always proved to be difficult, or confusing, or lacking. I think they felt out of place or something I dont know I thought Size Doesnt Matter, which, we've all heard before. and size did matter, not mechanically, just narratively it either wasn't really noticed if I didn't bring it up in the best case or felt like a familiar.
I really need to think of a way to make tiny PCs cool...
By The Way I want to add this race is really cool and I will use it when time to pick races is upon the group again.
It's also kind of like if Elves were actually full-on fey and not weirdly similar to humans.

I feel like the tiny PC -wants- to be out of place, though, so it usually works out?
One of the things about tiny PCs and flying PCs is that -so- many of the base-level assumptions of what constitutes a dungeon "obstacle" is subverted by them.
One time when I was having a meeting at White Wolf one of the designers there who'd also worked on D&D was like "Yeah as soon as a PC can fly it's a whole different game"--and I'd agree.
A lot of things change--on the other hand, as long as the GM is making their adventures for the group they have rather than just going by the book, the game will kind of warp itself around to work.

And thanks!
