Proud Merchant Race: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Traveller]]'': The Terran Confederation. Tizon in the Sword Worlds. Vargr to some degree. The "Merchant Princes of Skull" (in the volume Spinward Marches). The Oberlindes Family perhaps. At least the Oberlinders are a [[Badass Family]] of Merchant Princes.

** The Third Imperium claims to be this as well, and has some merit for the claim. However a large part of it's economy is to routinized and bureaucratized to give it the true glamour of a Proud Merchant Race. It is often more like an efficient merchant race.

** The Arcane from ''[[Spelljammer]]'' and ''[[Planescape]]'', who were even renamed "Mercane" in later editions. The Illithids, of all people, have elements of this as well.

** Other merchant [[Planet of Hats|hat]] wearers in ''[[Spelljammer]]'' are Rastipede (in [[Honest John's Dealership]] style) and Dohwar (with a good dose of [[Plucky Comic Relief]]).
