History TabletopGame / Fellowship

* OurOrcsAreDifferent: Orcs are ferocious fighters who can craft weapons from almost anything. Variants include Children of Fire with fireproof flesh and a burning touch, Daughters of Chaos who cannot be coerced or commanded, Spawn of Darkness who are more fungus than animal, or Sons of War who take the base orc's warlike nature and skill at improvising weapons UpToEleven.

* OurElvesAreDifferent: The Elves are known for their grace, and for standing out in a crowd. They have innate magic powers called Elder Arts, and variants include tiny flying Faeries, amphibious Merfolk, extraterrestrial Star Elves, and stealthy Wood Elves.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: The Heir is the ruler of a kingdom who has joined (or organized) the Fellowship and serves as its leader. Variants for their nations include Great Builders famed for their technology and engineering, Lost Line of Kings from a fallen nation, Stalwart Defenders with a long tradition of holding the Overlord at bay, and Forgotten Lands, a near-mythical people with a strange feature like wings or regeneration.
* ScienceFantasy: A number of options add sci-fi technology to an otherwise fantasy game, such as the Ironblast Dwarves and Star Elves, the Cyborg Destiny, or the Powersuit gear.

* {{Hobbits}}: The Halflings are small, but brave and cunning tricksters who can act stealthily and are good at distracting enemies. Their variants include Clever Storytellers, Determined Survivors, Mischievous Tricksters , or Travelling Nomads.

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: All Dwarves have one thing in common, and that's their toughness, represented by an extra stat caled Iron. The customization options include variants on the standard dwarf, such as Deepdelve (keepers of subterranean secrets), Firebeard (ProudWarriorRaceGuy types), Ironblast (inventors specializing in explosions), and Stoneborn (as much earth as flesh).

* OurMagesAreDifferent: Harbingers are users of powerful but dangerous magic, and prophets of the end of days. Variants include Angelic Remnants with what's left of the divine creator's power, Blind Prophets with powers of sight beyond the other races, Principled Academics with a tome full of magic rituals, and Servants of the Dark who aid the Overlord. In that last case, the PC Harbinger is the TokenHeroicOrc.

* ScienceFantasy: A number of options add sci-fi technology to an otherwise fantasy game, such as the Ironblast Dwarves and Star Elves, or the Powersuit gear.

* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: The [[PrestigeClass Destiny playbooks]] include options that are simply the exemplars of the seven basic playbooks: The Ur-Dwarf, the Elven Elite, the Halfling Sheriff, the Orc-Boss, the End of Days, the Warlord, and the Knight. The RPG specifically notes that there's nothing stopping, say, the Halfing becoming the Elven Elite or the Dwarf becoming the Orc-Boss. (The Ur-Dwarf and End of Days are a bit trickier to do this with than the others, since they require high levels in a stat most playbooks don't have.)

''Fellowship'' is a UsefulNotes/PoweredByTheApocalypse TabletopRPG by Jacob Randolph, published by Liberi Gothica Games. The players take on the roles of members of a Fellowship, a band of adventurers with each member choosing a different [[{{Splat}} playbook]] based on a fantasy race (the Dwarf, the Elf, the Halfling, or the Orc) or character archetype (the Harbinger, the Heir, or the Squire). The game master role is taken by the Overlord, an antagonistic character whose schemes threaten the world, and whose forces the Fellowship must fight at every opportunity.

* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Characters qualify for the Witch and the Firebrand [[PrestigeClass Destinies]] by having this attitude towards magic and fire respectively.

* HypercompetentSidekick: The Squire is basically a "sidekick" to one of the other heroes, but in the right circumstances can be just as heroic as any other character. Rather than a racial variant, they have a Purpose towards one or more other heroes, whether to Keep Them Safe, to fight For Your People, to See the World, or be Remembered by History.
