The Creation Process
After a lot of research and watching the movies man, many times the Gelfling have made their way to the RPG realm. I wrote this fantasy race with my kids running around, at the kitchen table, which is oddly fitting to these little beings. :-)
Also, one could say that this race has an innate ability with music; however, that is hard to fully state just from the movie.
