* ''[[Shadowrun]]'' also has five races, though they break down a bit differently: Stout (dwarfs), High Men (elves), Mundane (humans), Low Men ([[Our Orcs Are Different|orks]]), and Big Mean [[Future Slang|Fraggers]] ([[All Trolls Are Different|trolls]]). Fairy is reserved for somewhat further-out races, and anything Cute was either killed off a while ago or is now starring in some twisted simsense flick. |

* The ''[[Talislanta]]'' game system averted this trope so hard, they even used it in their advertising ("No Elves"). Granted, some of their races do fall into one of the five categories above (for example, [[Winged Humanoid|Muses]] are Fairies and [[Gadgeteer Genius|Yassan]] are Stouts) but with ''several dozen'' species of humanoids available as PCs, that was bound to happen to some of them. |
