Dear Joe and everyone else out there, I believe that allowing elves, dwarves, and etc. to the group would add some great dynamics to the game. First, it reminds us, that God uses people from all sorts of cultures and ethnic groups, this can be greatly reinforced by allowing this. Secondly, you can bring forth the fact that if Christians are to succeed that they must look beyond the outer appearance, (i.e. in our world, the different skin colors) and view that person as a brother or sister in Christ, all in a nice fantasy allegory way. :-) Lastly, it would just add to the medieval fantasy setting.
