Hail Satan!
Thou art redeemed, Doodlebug.
Get thee behind me, Lord Dice!
I would kill all of you to live in that village.
Doodlebug, you'll never make it as a house goblin if you keep assuming every woman who pays for a night in the goblin kennels is your girlfriend.
In Tuelvi lands, love is free!
In-joke from my play-by-post with Kirth
Isn't that essentially what Dark Sun halflings were like, including the cannibalism?I've never played Dark Sun.
But evil halflings are the way the world works!
Athasian hobbits didn't eat other Athasian hobbits. They did eat anything and everything else that they could concoct a recipe for. Asides from a nasty habit of melting faces Scanners-style, one of their preferred "ammunition" pieces are agony beetles. These vicious monsters latched onto some meat snack they were slung at and either burrowed into the meat snack's brain Ceti Alpha style, or jacked up the aformentioned meat snack via Ego Whip (or whatever). Sometimes both.
Athasian hobbits' meals never qualify for a mere raise dead. You're lucky if you can find anything identifiable...
RE: Kingmaker advice: Roman adages are apt. Bread and circuses, once your economic engine starts humming, bread and circuses.
A second group for ostracization to consider are gnomes. They live forever on "new experiencces" (can't have THAT in a totalitarian regime), are as short as hobbits, often have very distinctive (prejudicable) physical features and are from the same fetid place as the accursed granola-snorting, tree-hugging, dances-around-hallucinogenic-mushroom-hilltops fey (The Great Enemy!).
Religiously speaking you want Abadarian temples, not Asmodean. Fealty needs to be to YOU, not some hopped-up hippeh with a dominance fetish. (That's your bailiwick!) Abadarian temples are reknown for their impartiality as financial institutions. See if your local Abadarian priest's inclinations are profoundly financial ...
Blew a quarter of my bank account during a trip into town today. I am, however, now owner of a gourgeous deck of vampire-themed tarot cards and a guide to creating draconic art. I also have a laptop now, which means a soon dramatic increase in materiel from me. I'm plotting Kelseyfinder, which is my acceptance that, if I did EVERYTHING I wanted to Pathfinder, it ought not be called Pathfinder. I'm plotting such things as the elimination of all spells over third level, flinging out the BAB system, flinging out the HP system, and embracing something similar to E6 on the surface. That's not very Pathfinder at all, even if pretty much everything is a PF conversion.
That was the most important part anyways.
Be glad her foo dragon tattos didn't eat your face. :P

Yesterday I had a totally rad kickflipping wipeout. I blame music.

Hee hee!
I mean, not hee hee! because you wiped out, but because it makes me think of epic wipeouts of my own--like when I flipped over my handlebars because I was checking out some mamacita, or the time I got hit by a car, thrown 10 feet in the air, did a flip, and landed on my back. I remember going to light a cigarette and the EMT saying, "You don't want to smoke that right now," and I replied while lighting up, "No, I really do."
Ah, good times.
No, I was fine.
But my lower back has never been quite the same.
Hungry!
It is really hot in northern Ohio.
I've never thought of Dayton as "northern Ohio."
I hope that you enjoy the warm weather, Gark. It is too hot down here for me. I can't wait for fall and winter to come.

The ancient Chinese curse is alive and "well".
Hey there Turin. I am glad that you are alive and "well".
I love doing my own worldbuilding. I've got alchemy-powered cars that most people can afford and a corresponding emerging car culture, pop culture as an integral part of the setting's mood background, handheld automatic firearms, a Native American nation with some of it's citizens committing hate crimes against other Native Americans for being immigrants from tribes outside the nation's borders, Greeks coming back from a long dark age to become Europe's most powerful nation, Polynesian unification, a longstanding Norse country in North America, a Louisiana with a creole as it's primary language and badass Cajun monster hunters, a California known for a creole of Spanish, Chinese, Native American, and English, a Mexico known for maintaining much stronger indiginous roots, and more. Add in my own system, build from Pathfinder elements converted to my own ideas (templet based classless, no BAB, stong E6/8 tendancies), and I have good.
Pfft that is a great world Kelsey.
I certainly hope so.
I believe I forgot to mention the inspiration taken from the 1920s/50s/60s/70s, and on into the modern day. The 50s/60s/70s is the main focal point, but I'm casting a broad net here. I love a mix of 60s fashion and modern fashion with elves and spellcasters. Very tasty. I also love the idea of making my analogue of the Civil Rights Movement something going down between Native American tribes, and of retaining the surf culture of this era in California but giving California a very strong English/Spanish/Chinese/Native American creole instead of the hybrid American/Latin culture that exists today.

Also Joshua Frost had a tendency to be heavy-handed back in the day.
Be your own judge, I'd say. On the first read through, seems like a fun and cinematic style game (no counting arrows and nitpicking encumbrance, which I like).
Kelsey:
You may want to take a look at some of the Shadowrun and Earthdawn books for inspiration. Sounds a bit like some of their style would not be amiss in your homebrew.
I get why Shadowrun fits a bit of my style, but not Earthdawn.
Personally, my style is one of a glitzy, materielistic culture that, while wonderful, relies heavily on magic. Magic, while wonderful, can be misused in many horrific ways. In come the PCs, who are those who's job it is to keep this misuse from happening in either the New World Alliance (several independant countries that share a currency, economy, and a couple of military/law enforcement units) or another nation.
If that story hook does not appeal, there are other things to do. One can join the military or become a mercenary and get embroiled in one of the ongoing wars, become a spy, become a rebel, become a detective, seek out fortune in the Third World, or do whatever else sounds reasonable.

Reality is Overrated!
Hence why I'm not. CN4lyfe! HAIL ERIS!
Hey there Turin. I am glad that you are alive and "well".
"Well" is a relative term. :P By most standards I'm peachy-keen. ^__^
I've been pondering of late. "A dangerous thing." "I know."
Queensryche's "Operation: Mindcrime", while it dates to ~1985 or so, seems even *more* appropo to the here and now than it did back then. Weird...
And of course now I can't find my CD of the rock opera in question. *muttergrumble*
How's everyone lately?** spoiler omitted **
Well, Gark since you ask:
I've never thought of Dayton as "northern Ohio."
I was spending some time near Akron Ohio.
