Another long-term project that’s been backburnered is a spreadsheet of AD&D Second Edition races, both PC and NPC. The goal is get full details on every race that has the capability of taking a class, even if it is rather odd, like dolphins. Since OD&D and 1st Ed are basically the same as 2nd ed., if I found relevant information in them, I added them in. Also, I’ve been planning to add in appropriate information from 3e if it is relevant (height, weight, etc.), but I haven’t gotten around to it. Anyway, one day I’ll get back to this.
Race Database (Excel 2007 Format)
If you know of any missing information, please let me know.
Wow, nice job! Now you should cross reference all the races with OGL material and publish a OSR races book!
;p
(Not really a joke entirely, it would be a neat document).
>>Papercut:
Not likely. :) If I ever did anything with races (other than make new ones, which I am doing for my Ankispace setting), it will be in straight 2nd edition format, using the Complete Book Of Humanoids layout.

Hellgate Keep have tannarukka and give likely details for half-such.
I always wondered why leprechauns were listed as being able to become priests of Erevan Ilisere until I saw them as a PC race in Polyhedron 116 along with Giant Eagles.
I’ve seen them over the internet, didn’t know the entry came from Polyhedron…
Some races lack the references, do you intend to update this file? Will you upload an excel 2003 version?
Eventually, but no plans any time soon.
FYI Rakasta and its subraces are missing/incomplete… Dragon #247. Thanks for the hard work btw.
