Ahh, the good old days. Of which I missed. I wasn't introduced to D&D until the late 80's. And yeah, by then nobody wanted to play the exotic races or anything. I always got looked at funny for wanting to play a Dragon, or Lizardman, or something NEAT. Meanwhile everyone else was generic human #7.
The D&D group I used to play with here went through many half-assed games that always fell apart. I went from playing a Gnoll thief to a Minotaur who used doors and other people as improvised melee weapons. Then it was on to a half-dragon, a lizardman, a knight of Bahamut, and another lizardman. Each and every time, the most "exotic" other player might be playing a dwarf instead of a human. :p And they'd always complain at me each and every time for playing some horrible monster race.
I hope to one day get a proper group together again. Ones with imaginations and whom actually like to play, not just sit around for 5 hours talking about work and what they did on WoW today.
