TFs for Niche Races

[Yulaur_the_Small]

Hey there, spacers.

I finally decided to try and participate in the community, and hopefully get to know what people want out of this game.

As for me, above all, it's the amount of customizability that drew me to this game in the first place. In my opinion, the more options there are to make your character truly unique, the better. I ultimately look forward to the day that there is a TF for every known race in the lore.

While I am aware that there is currently work being done on the (from what I am aware of) highly anticipated Milodan TF, I have hardly seen work on ones for more niche races that only have a few, if any, characters representing them; an example being Cruff and the Kalabast race. There are so many races that have yet to have any CC (character creation) options tied to them, and I hope this post will spur some of our community's talented writers into action.

I would highly encourage anyone here to write their own opinions and responses to my ramblings in the comments below. And thanks for reading.

If you want niche racial TFs, you're probably better off writing them yourself, instead of waiting for 'community writers' to do it for you. Many have left, and those who remain probably already have more projects than they can complete.

To expand on why doing it yourself is the best option,

Excluding just commissioning someone directly, the hoops to "spur some of our community's talented writers into actions" are

• There are not many community writers.
• Of those few community writers, one has to be available to write your idea: it is guaranteed that they already have too many of their own ideas
• Of that subset, the writer also has to be interested in your idea

The last two hoops are arguably interchangeable or just a loop. New idea > adds to list of ideas to work on later > new idea > adds to list etc.

People with only ideas and the ideas themselves are a dime for a million. That's why there's a thread where people vent their desired content into the void
