In every RPG I ever played I like humans the most. They are the best to identify myself with. However, when playing in a party with elves, dwarfs and gnomes I kind of feel like I am the most strange of them all, but basically I'm the most standard!

Humans are the most basic and simple creatures in fantasy stories. In most fantasyworlds humans are more then 50% of the complete population. There stats are always the most standard, they aren't especially good or bad at anything. The most strange thing is that all the fantasy stuff gets compared with Tolkien's Middle Earth because they al have elves & orc's. But what about humans?

So my question, does somebody knows a RPG/fantasy world where humans are actually something special, and not something boring for people like me who can't really chose between all the other races?
Or what are your opinion of the fantasy style human race?

Looks like Scandinavia, The upper Netherlands, or either the Hudson Bay or Northwest Territories parts of Canada.

100% wrong. My map is >75% bases on a Terraformed version of Mars 

I mostly changed some details like the north/southe pole, mountains, lakes/rivers and a little bit of the coastline. I still have to put in some other things like where the deep parts of the ocean are, deserts, forrests and some city capitals. But at the moment I'm concentrating at expanding the backgroundof my favorite city

Finally finished the map of my own little world A world with the name: Balance

Just asking your opinions. (and checking if someone knows where I based this map on) 

Thnx for all the help guys! Especialy about the NameGenerators onlineXD Didn't thought of that yet.

Hey! I'm new on this site/forum. And (offcourse) I'm making my own world, but while looking around you site I was wondering how did you came up with all the names for the country's and cities, but above all, how did thought of the word Khoras? With my own world I can't think of any good name
I asked a couple of friendly GM's for advice, but most of them couldn't give any good explination for naming stuff. Hope you can help me
