[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 5894119, member: 1"] But what would make you think it wouldn't be clear, or that the the book won't clearly state that you have discretion to add and remove races? I feel like you're seeing something there that I'm not. Rob floating a vague concept doesn't mean that that's (a) what it would look like or that (b) it prohibits something else being in the book, such as the clearly worded statement you're after. I can't see anywhere in that blog post where he says "Oh, and we won't clearly allow you to pick and choose as you wish". In fact, I'll bet you $10 right now that that clearly worded statement of freedom to pick and choose that you seek will be in the book(s). I see nothing to suggest it wouldn't be, and it seems like an obvious inclusion. I'm willing to throw down $10 on that. All he's talking about there is a default setup for beginner DMs. And I think that'll be useful for them, just like the "what is an RPG?" bit and the "This is what dice are" bit in the book will do. There's zero chance that customization for the likes of us won't be clear. It'll say - obviously, it'll say, if this makes it in - "Here's a default setup. feel free to change or ignore it as you wish. Some settings we publish might have different default setups." Hell, $20. I'll bet as high as you like on that! It's guaranteed! [/QUOTE]
