Will someone please tell me where i can find information/stories about the Realms Star Elves? Particualarly, when did they come out? A copyright date date would be most helpful. Thanks. |

I was just reading George's post of the recent changes in the realms being in your face. Well at the Larp this weekend we got IN YOUR FACE. A group of players has been ignoring hooks for the last 10 months about this enemy empire. So since the players were ignoring the hooks they could not stop the buil up of the army. There fore this weekend, our home of avalon has been conquered and destroyed.
OO BOY!

yay, the star elves, figured i`d join in with my 0.50 NOK about them.
At first i thought "another friggin elf race?! and i still have some of that attitude. Basically, to me, it looks as an easy way to get another bonus into the elf-race. Sort of like "for the people who want to play an elven-cha-spellcaster we now have this flavour of the month elf!" What`s next, planeshifting in from a forgotten past comes the WISE-elves! (as sage of perth mentioned in his post earlier, when two of his players chose them, they BOTH went after the Cha-based spellcasting classes! That they chose to do that is cool with me though, don`t get the wrong idea )
Sooooo, where was i. Yeah, the star elves. As I haven`t read the write-up on them in UE I don`t really know too much about them, and I`ll probably love to have one or two of them played in a campaign of mine at some point, but i just get some sort of bad taste in my mouth when I wonder if it`s official wizards policy to add a new (as in all-new-and-crunchy) race to FR every few months.
If there is any prior mention of them in any 1st or 2nd edition material i will withdraw most of my attitude towards them, but i`ve yet to hear of any such thing being mentioned. |

Sadly there are no officially published stories on Star Elves yet. As for information, the 3e sourcebook Unapproachable East is the only primary source of information on Star Elves at the moment.

I can well imagine what those players must have felt like. Why though, were the players ignoring the hooks?.

To date, there has been little said of this race actually existing in 1e or 2e, at least to an extent. But one of the great things about the Realms, is that it is conceivable to believe that such a race as this has gone unnoticed for most of the recent period of Realms history, so I think that the incorporation of the Star Elves, was quite well explained and achieved.

Your feeling of quite well explained and achieved left this reader with a feeling of rehashed ideas. I mean a long lost race suddenly reappears....gee, where have 3rd edition FR gamers seen that before.... |

I felt it was handled much better, and explained with more believable circumstances (at least to an extent) than the other said 'race'. But then, it is all a matter of perspective really, and how much time you have spent playing in the Realms of course.

If you want to wait a few more weeks, 3e/3.5e Planescape will be released shortly. And the good thing about it is (apart from the fact that it is Planescape of course), it's free  .

I'll send you an email with the address for the release to download when the specially created website goes online soon. I have to send Bookwyrm a copy of that address as well.
Oh, and congratulations on your promotion zemd. However I hear the distant echo of Alaundo's footsteps, so you better prepare yourself for the extra amount of work he assigns all his Senior Scribes here at Candlekeep ...Not that I am complaining of course, wise Alaundo...everythings good, everythings fine...I doing my job heh heh
