Hmm... what to play as?...

Humans are boring, Dwarves and Elves are too common. What other races do I like?

Oh I know! I could play as Kobolds of some form!

Not kobolds like from WoW however, those stupid dog faced [i]things[/i] don't deserve the name kobold.
Luckily, I have a book filled with information about kobolds I could take from, but of course simply stealing ideas from one source and not thinking on my own would be boring. Perhaps fuse the ideals and culture of those kobolds with the culture of another people? Hmm...
