For myself, I think that outside of the Kzin, I'm going to avoid using too much from SFB. This is Starships and Spacemen. Not Prime Directive. That will not prevent me from snatching up any write ups that appear on the forums, but I think I want to take my setting in a little less military direction.
So I'm going to be looking in different directions for my extra races, both for PC's and NPC's. One thing I will be doing is searching the John Carter series for races and creatures, along with The Lensman series, and a few 70's and 60's sci-fi, and fantasy.
Also, I'll likely being adding a few "cosmetic" aliens. Races that will be nominally humans, but with a few changes taken from the forehead, pigmentation, and ear shap tables. My justification being that these races were originally from Earth, but transplanted back when humanity was still in the Stone Age.
