Do a family rolecall with elves.
Not really playing, atm, but wanted to comment.
Can confirm, it is much more enjoyable, than loner-for-life elf.
A lot of the worst aspects of being an elf, are eliminated by having a few pcs to interact with, in a true-to-elf tribal setting. It does, indeed, feel like that is how they were originally intended to be played, as the coded negatives are compensated for, by having tribe members you can depend on.
It also causes most players, to do a complete turn around, when they realize, they're not dealing with some solo rogue, with garbage stats. The "I-kill-all-elves-come-at-me-bro" BS, which is just, unimaginably, unrealistically rampant, disappears right away, when two or three of your tribe walk in, ready and willing to do just that.
If you are on the fence, about trying elves? Do an elf rollcall. It's a whole different experience, and not to be missed.
