Who is that new race?

Post by HsojVvad »

On page 56 when they are explaining the diplomacy there is a Race that is called The Player. I don't see this picture or race in the Galactopedia. Is this a user created race that codeforce made? Even the minor race it has I don't recall seeing either. I am curious, are these playable or in the game at all?

I just find it funny they show something that we can't use.

Oopps forgot to say page 56 of the manual. The example they give for diplomacy is an Empire called The Player. I don't remember being able to select the race to play or read it in the galactopedia.

Sorry for not explaining myself the first time. Playing the game as I was typing the post.

BTW it's spelt "what" not "wut". [;)] Just because it's the internet, we should be able to spell properly. [:D]

The Player is a subspecies of Human, in my experience.

But it has a huge head that looks like a Zebra, and the minor race he has, looks like a disfigured alf.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR... I know I am not the most perfect speller, but it's a pet peeve of mine.

Also if you don't know what I mean, go to the DW manual and turn to page 56 and you will see.

The Player is a subspecies of Human, in my experience.

With varying intelligence levels. [;)] [:D]

I do take it that this is one of those manual things that can be quite funny when you first read it though.

If you look closer, that's obviously a beta test icon for the Dhayut. The minor race is the Wekkarus beta icon.

You're not missing out on anything besides old, ugly beta icons. Trust me. [;)]
