Three flavors of short folk (Dwarves, Halflings, Gnomes), nowhere near enough weird stuff
No giant spiders that communicate with tapestries, no manifestations of the plane of order presenting themselves as organic plant-based machines, no children irreparably changed because their parents survived an encounter with beings beyond their comprehension
All of the things they listed are Pathfinder races from the Lost Omens books, which I think is the joke. Specifically the Anadi, Conrasu, and Geniekin (I think that’s the third one?).
I was thinking more along the lines of the non-devil tieflings, like the Motherless or the Shackleborn
Really kind of tired of every tiefling being a sexy person with horns when it’s a more interesting idea of having to deal with the world when you look like a filthy potato who doesn’t have a shadow and you sweat yellow steam that smells like sulfur
Try Pathfinder: Kingmaker/Wrath of the Righteous - Pathfinder has both the best Goblins (funny little green rulebreakers) and best Gnomes (will literally die of boredom), and the TTRPG has stuff like anthropomorphic pugs, animate dolls, and psychic bipedal 3ft rhinos.
I’ve played both of the Pathfinder computer games - Nok Nok is definitely a weird little guy. But I want to be a weird little guy. Baldur’s Gate 3 was definitely missing weird little guys in the party.
Horse and dogs are evil. Our swords are called dogslicers and our big swords are called horse slicers. We pretty much flee from dogs and horses whenever we see them.
Writing is evil and steals thoughts out of your head. It’s important to burn books whenever you find them to protect yourself and free the thoughts.
Fire is the coolest thing every and there should be more of it in the world
I wish modern CRPGs had more playable weird little dudes.

We get ripped off, for sure
Pathfinder has some really cool animated plant/mushroom people and they’re adorable.

they’re based on a critter of the same name in Slavic folklore.
Indrik gang, who up?
