What races do you use in your parties. Lizard men, giff, dwarves, etc
I try to give options to the players, but most of them always pick core races, elves and such

From one campaign: a human transmuter, an elven gardener, a fey prince-turned-vampire and his long-lost brother, an elderly tiefling mercenary general-turned-farmer, a half-elf Godsman cleric, an exiled eladrin warrior, a prime half-giant centurion, and an undead drow Dustman who accidentally reneged on his Dead Contract, among others.
From the other: a human warrior-priest-king cursed to old age before his time, a part-efreet/part-djinn genasi wanderer from Zakhara, a minotaur gladiatrix, a crotchety old human medicine man from a swamp and his powerful tortoise spirit guide (the tortoise is the player character), a vampire nobleman from a world where every 'living' thing is undead, and a devil-blooded tiefling enchanter who apprenticed on Arborea.
And there's also been a sorcerer-alchemist trapped halfway through a botched draconic apotheosis, a githzerai illithid-hunter who derives divine power through her worship of capital-T Truth, a vrock minstrel, a genie in a bottle, a pixie bounty hunter, an ancient golem security construct, a tiefling Indep black marketeer, a dwarven exorcist, a Bleaker barbarian sworn to slay Nerull himself, and the ghosts of a werewolf ranger and his animal companion.
There was also another campaign which I didn't run where we were a minotaur fighter, a kobold barbarian, a yeti/frost giant (goliath) warden with an aura of elemental cold, the aforementioned werewolf ranger, and a druid that we never saw out of animal form. We basically *were* a group of wandering monsters ourselves.
Those are creative choices. We have wild elf ranger (grugach), half-elf orc sorcerer, prime human butcher, planar greedy dwarf. Part efreet-part djinn are called hawanar in Tome of Horrors.
3 petitioners trapped in Sigil, sometimes four
and a re-made - lawful planetouched
I'm a crotchety DM when it comes to player races; I allow humans, demi-humans, and planetouched. Pretty much it.
The two parties in my game are:
1. A Lightning Genasi Monk, a Human Summoner, and an Aasimar Paladin (who will become a greyguard). [Formerly, this group was the monk, the summoner, and a human wizard]
2. A Human Fighter, a Tiefling Rogue (who will become an assassin), and an Aasimar Monk (who will become a souldrinker).
Because the game only has three players, they usually have an NPC with them to help out and cast spells. Such allies, so far, have included a Gnome Cleric, a Tiefling Druid, and an Air Genasi Psion.
huh, i allow all official wotc material in my games (which includes all the designated sites, thank you for your excellent resources), so i get all kinds of races.
recently i've played human, kalashtar, warforged, hengeyoukai, changeling, drow, thri-kreen, mixed grey & wood elf, part-minotaur-part-ogre-half-orc, feytouched half-fey ghost, with more variants in the past.
my players currently consist of: dragon, various humans, gnome, and the above mentioned ghost. previous players have been even more varied.
