Just a thought, but what's evryone's favorite race?
Mine are the Thri-Kreen, because they're just so different and fun to play (plus they speak in clicks and whistles). The fact that they're almost always Chaotic doesn't hurt either.
Yay for the bug people!

There are so many races right now that I'd love to take a crack at . . . !
I have had the opportunity to play a few more unique character-types. I had a ghost elf ranger that was a LOT of fun to play (his favored enemy was other elves!). I've also gotten to play a githyanki . . . once (it was in a one-shot-style game, though - I'd like to try playing one a bit more long-term).
Also played a medusa in quote-unquote evil game. That was interesting (but again, something I'd like to try to do more long-term).
The . . . uh . . . the exact name and spelling is escaping me now. From the Planar Handbook, the ones who've taken the vow of silence . . . Starts with a B . . . ? That was fun . . .

You're thinking of the Buommans.
Githyanki (the ones that favor the Monk class, I always get them confused >.<)
That's the Githzerai.
I'm also a big fan of playing Kuo-Toa, Lizardfolk, Githyanki...
I've never played a lizardfolk character as a PC. As a DM, I've run plenty of them, but as a PC, I'd think that could be pretty fun . . .
Lizardfolk have always been my favorite and my campaigns tend to show it, i.e. they hold places of power, unfortunately none of my PCs are ever that interested in them
Tome, did you realize Thri-Kreen can achieve 15 attacks per round by 20th level? With any full base attack class:
Using the multiweapon fighting feat tree, each off-hand gets 3 attacks, primary hand gets 4 attacks, a bite attack and +1 for haste

I have a Thri-Kreen ranger in one of my games. He's 8th level, and gets up to 8 attacks each round. More if I figures out he can bite too, or someone casts haste on him.
I think that halflings and Gnomes they are small fast and clever also they make the best rouges.
Also I recently saw the June issue of Dragon and I wanted to use it in my caimpaign well my DM (I'm a co-dm) said he needs to now about, the store returned the issue and I just needed to know the name of a astral dragon and a few of its abilities and my dm will make the stats it would be helpful if anyone could he thankyou.

Yeah, they can be sort of overwhelming with multiweapon fighting, but they do have a +2 level adjustment and start out as 4th level characters even without class levels. Plus that build requires you to use three feats, a spell and have four weapons, which can be very expensive if you want all of them to be of decent enhancement. It costs 9240 gp for 4 +1 Shortswords, that's quite a bit for just a +1 enhancement, and the bite will likely have no enhancement unless you come across an amulet of mighty fists, which is also quite expensive. Factor in the the penalties for multiweapon fighting and the +2 level adjustment and the average multiweapon thri-kreen has an attack bonus 4-6 points behind an equivalent greatsword wielding fighter, enough that missing is a bit of balancing factor in a full attack. The fact that you've probably neglected your defences may also be a bit of a problem.
Hell, the four armed thing is probably responsible for half of the level adjustment.
Not much of a factor for two of the three Thri-Kreen I've played though. One was a Favoured Soul, another was a Greatsword wielding Psychic Warrior (boy, could that guy move) and the final one did use multi-weapon fighting.
The real reason I like them is that they're just so oddball, what with their clicks-and-whistles language, occaisionaly unpronounceable names, alien mindset and just being plain freaky looking. I love the short lived, bouncing-all-over-the place crazy bug people. They rock ^_^. Just as much as dragons in fact, which means I need a thri-kreen t-shirt to augment my dragon ones ^_^.
I have noticed a large trend in my character gen lately. I am leaning alot on humans and halflings. I do have a very cool thri-kreen character though ;) I have played around with all the core races and their variants from the FR setting and still find half-elves to be the most gimped of all the races. Although one of my best characters at the moment is a half-celestial nymph paladin. I modled her concept ont the character Lenneth from the PS1 game, Valkerie Profile.
All it takes is a concept and just about any race can be played for much fun.
My favorite would have to be a template character (tauric) their half-humanoid half-beast creatures. (Its fun to build your own centaur) I also like seeing feral wood elves (with claws) but my favorite unmodified race would be Gnolls (the role-playing potential for a gnoll is quite large) I played a CG gnoll ranger who went renegade from his clan (due to alignment) and now lived in the mountains and hunted other gnolls.
