Yup. I played a halfling Psionicist/Thief, before anyone ever told me
how much the psionicist class is hated. For Darksun races and/or classes
used, well, we had a Mul warrior PC and a Thri-kreen NPC. 

Nowadays, my preferred system is 7th Sea, both to play in and to GM in.
I've only done campaigns in 7th Sea and 2nd & 3rd Edition D&D; I have
done one-shots in Shadowrun, Werewolf, Cthulu (mostly LARPs, actually),
and others. For some reason, I've never done Vampire.

Dragaera frequently appears in my games: I've found myself bantering
with other characters in a manner I can only describe as Brustian, and I
frequently steal Paarfi's voice for certain courtier-types. I probably
haven't copied the Dragaeran characters completely (at least, for
originality's sake, I hope not), but the books have certainly influenced
how I deal with a fantasy setting.
