![Jake of Rhun [D&D]](http://d.furaffinity.net/art/out-of-the-boks/1493494789/1493494789.out-of-the-boks_jake_of_rhun_sm.jpg "Click to change the View")
My D&D character, and anthro antelope (gemsbok) named Khaska, is currently with his party on the opposite side of the world from where his people live; he's the only one of his kind he's seen on the continent.
Until now, when this NPC walked out of the woods! He's the leader of the local village, but has never seen any others of his species; he was found very young besides his dead mother.
And of course, I had to draw him.

In Pathfinder (Updated D&D 3rd edition basically), the deity Erastil is depicted as an anthro stag and his sacred weapon is the longbow. http://www.pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Erastil
nicely done. :) he appears to be caught between actually drawing the arrow and let it fly in a heartbeat, and stopping dead like, "What is this supposed to be now?"
it's interesting how easy most roleplaying games allow for animal people characters. after all, every book I've seen says, "If you don't like a rule, and it gets in the way of having fun, change it." this of course includes species. tweak here and there, use common sense, and voilá! antelope people.
lions, watch out! they now bite back!

Yes! Seriously! Though I love Tolkien, I have no interest in his imitators, including D&D; my participation in this campaign I made contingent on being able to contribute a unique race to the world. My DM hasn't regretted it, though at one point he did specifically instruct me to worldbuild something *other* than my species, the Maha'i... X==8P
imitators suck. when the movies came out german book shelves were overflowing with new fantasy novels, most of which read like bad clones from the cover text alone.
I don't mind old D&D imitating that much; after all, as Tolkien was the first to provide an all-fantasy world, TSR were the first to provide the means to live there for a while... personally I am not too fond to roleplay in Middle earth. I feel there is not enough wriggle room for somethign individual. Tolkien made clear what happened and what not... though sometimes we grab us some orcs and try to survive our own shortcomings. once, mine was a shapechanger, and found an unicorn horn. which turned him into an orc unicorn... XD
aside that, my regular group plays whatever comes to our wicked minds. :)

Ha, orc unicorn sounds awesome!
And yes, Tolkien's world was very particular, and the various races were incorporated into it in subtle and important ways. Pull elves and dwarves out of Middle-Earth and it's treating his creation like window dressing. It's Middle Earth I love, not its trappings.

I'm not that much a Tolkien fan, to be honest. when the first movie was advertised my friends made me read the books. I made it until Frodo followed the elves overseas, and when he started to mdescribe what would happen the next couple 100 years I just quit.
I love the world he created, the different races, the tribes, the colourful landscapes and consistent ideas (except maybe Tom Bombadil, somehow it read like a snippet of a chapter he just didn't want to be cast aside). but in my opinion he wasn't that much of a storyteller. but hey, he still created somethign fascinating, and i can see why people would nerd about it. :)
you're probably wondering what my fave fantasy books are, now. which is a hard thing to answer; I tend to grab what tickles my fancy. what's good enough to make me feel like I'd re-read it, stays on the shelf. the rest is given away or even, in rare occasions, discarded. but one favourite would be Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Books. Disney's take on it shaped a lot of my childhood. (another part was shaped by Kimba the White Lion, but I guess neither comics nor anime count here)
I also enjoy Mercedes Lackey's books, and where fantasy meets sci-fi (anf furry) C J Cherryh comes in.
