Although I really like playing demihumans - and I specially like playing the archetypes, like trickster illusionist gnomes, brave dwarf fighters and noble elven fighter/mages - and I've had a lot of fun playing some oddballs (like a strong and exotic barbarian lizardfolk), I think I like humans the most, even in 2e. Their cultural versatility is wonderful... As a DM, I can play everything, though!

I realize it's not really Realms, but after playing a drow priestess in a Pathfinder campaign, I've found a new like for the drow.

Kreen, shades, genasi, and (pre-4E) tieflings are all excellent, yet my ultimate choice would be the gith races. It‘s kinda close.

Dwarves, orcs, goblinoids, and even lowly kobolds can be a lot of fun, though.

I chose humans again, due to their versatility, but also like half-elves and I must admit I have a nack for the Gith races too.

humans are lucky to have such wide arrange of classes to choose from. But I like them to, as well as elves, half elves. And SOMETIMES gnomes.

I see I'm still the lone vote for orcs.

I enjoy playing orcs too Asmo, but they fall behind (in order of my preference) half-elves, humans/elves (equal), and dwarves. Behind that I like orcs and halflings. I don't like gnomes meself. I largely consider them a type of dwarf in my homebrew.

I have a dream that one day, all game worlds will exist as one.

Gnomes for me. Something about that laid-back lifestyle and trickery just appeals to me.

Past that, Goblinkin (particularly Kobolds) or Half-Orcs appeal to me, since I love playing the lesser-known (or at least, less liked) races.

Looking for someone to bounce ideas off regarding a first-time campaign in the FR universe, using 3.5 and set in 1372DR.

If you're willing to help out, feel free to PM me.

I'm with you. There are lots of great choices, but the gith races are a whole level of awesome unto themselves. If you've read Kemp's Erevis Cale books, he upped the ante with a unique presentation of a gith.
