like the message here, what are your fav races of the palladium world?

Well, among the playable races, I'd go with:
Wolfen, Kankoran, Sun Dogs, Dragon Wolves, Elves, and Gosai.

As far as monsters and NPC's, I enjoy using:
Vampires, Beast Dragons, Winter Storm Ice Demons, True Dragons of any type, Bogeymen, and Shadow Beasts.

For characters, Humans, Elves, Dwarves Wolfen.
For NPC's and Monsters (or just cool factor), Jeridu, Kildred, and my all time favorate for coolness is the Soulhunter (expecialy the picture in the book!).

Getting a mage to tell you where the hydra is...10,000 gold
Hiring a summoner... 40,000 gold
Hiring one hundred 10th level mercenaries... 98,567 gold
Giving a hydra skull to your necromancer... priceless

Board? Read bad fan fiction!

Everyone has their pros and cons, but I'd have to go with elves,
changelings, kildred, and dwarvlings.

For N.P.C. Fairy Folk (all of them), Lizard Mage, Scarecrows, and
Bear Men.

Favorite race… that’s a tough call.

I really like quorians, minotaur, elves, and goblins. On the rare occasions I have gotten to play PF, I have played mostly humans, but also a minotaur (one short session at a con), a quorian, a hob-goblin (in one of KS’s con games), a couple goblins, a wolfen (same character in two of KS's con games), and an elf.

If were able to play in a long term PF campaign I think I would want to play a minotaur warrior of some type.

Kildred, definitely the Kildred, or the Gosai. Mind you Changelings are pretty cool.........and Rahu-Men are quite mtsterious. The Cyclops have a lot of cool history as well...so favorite...uh?

From the main text, I tend to play elfs in PF. Thou I do have a couple NS were tigers as chars, but lately I've been making two or three chars from a homebrew race, not too powerfull, and they have some eccetrices to mkake role playing a blast.

Hands down, my favorite PFRPG race is the Zaranceti from Land of the Damned Book One.

I'm also fond of Kankoran, Bearmen, Dwarves and the Croval.

Kankorans are one of my favorites to play. Very Native American feel to them.

Wolfen as well, but that is because I like the Roman angle.

Without getting into the newer book races - who are a lot of fun but some can be....well....omgmunchy.

Trolls and Dwarves from the Main Book are my core two races.

Beyond that, Gromek, Minotaur, and the Giant races are the others that I love to play.
