"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." ---- Odd combinations, back stories, and goals other than kill the monster, get the treasure, and earn points is what adds depth and a fair bit of humor to the game. The GM does have to be fast on the take and willing to toss out the initial premise of the game on a moments notice. The later rules only seemed to force you into playing the published games in a fairly uniform fashion, so many switched to unpublished variants or in tighter groups just seemed to make it up as we went along.
Horrible race? The characters should protest, parade through town with banners, put up posters, shout down the bigoted humans!!!
For the Lizardman... You need the a ration bag of daily meat for regular use, keep-m-fresh body bags, a large bag of holding, and an agreement with the party that for bandits and such you keep the humans you kill. Oh, and trade for recipes and spices with humans that BBQ pork, works for either.
