Darknet

The way I see it, you have the chance to create your own fantasy world from the scratch. Why use the dwarf/elf/orc template races?

I can't say how much I hope you guys at least include some original races. Don't get me wrong, the Tolkien races are all well and good. They are classic. But I'm hoping you guys will use your creative juices and give us a whole bunch of new races.
