As a minimalist (before I found LotFP, my game of choice was Microlite20), my solution to not having "races as classes" was short and (for my tastes) sweet. Dwarves (not "Dwarfs;" I don't care if it's technically correct) are basically 4- to 5-foot humans with beards who can see in black-and-white in conditions of non-magical total darkness (such as underground). Elves are 5- to 6-foot humans with pointed ears who can see normally in low-light situations (such as outside at night). Halflings are 3- to 4-foot humans with furry feet. That's about all.

Re: Introduce yourself! (219 replies, posted in LotFP Gaming Forum)
Hi, I'm Darrell. I am 50, and live in North Carolina (USA). I started playing D&D with the old digest-sized booklets, and later moved (in succession) to Moldvay/Cook BD&D, 1e, 2e, 3(.5)e, and Pathfinder before discovering the retro-gaming movement, which reminded me of my love for the old games, which, in turn, led to my return to the Moldvay/Cook rulebooks for a few years. I helped Greywulf in the initial development of microlite20, and later made my own adaptation of m20 (which I have yet to release, because, basically, I'm lazy). I have been playing 5e for the last little while, but discovered the LotFP hardcover in a bookstore recently, and loved it! That's about all I have to say.
