What else goes into a PHB? Races, classes, spells... All the actual rules fit into 32 pages.

The design looks very nice but it actually reminds me of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook....
I hope there is an option to make the wild sorcerer less random or maybe the table is for once in a blue moon random effect. You can take it too far to the point of being silly. But I am not a big fan of tables for random critical hits, or even effects that go off of certain dice rolls.

To go for some hardcore speculation based on the tiniest of information...
- The Starter Set TOC has 16 pages for just "How to Play", with the remaining 16 making up reference material such as equipment and spells.
- Our picture here suggests that we have the end of the Sorcerer on page 107, and start of the Warlock on page 108.
- Going alphabetically, we have Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, and Sorcerer before we reach Warlock and Wizard.
- So, 107 pages - 16 for How to Play - say, 4 for chargen/intro/etc = 87 pages for 10 classes.
- So that comes to 8.7 pages per class. Let's say 8 pages per class average, with some coming to 6 pages, and others coming to 10 pages, or thereabouts.
- Tack on 16 pages for the Warlock and Wizard, and we get a total of 123 pages for classes. Leaving roughly 197 for races, backgrounds, feats, spells, and equipment. And maybe some simple modules for adjusting play (alternative rest schedules, healing, maybe some simple tactical combat rules, etc).

I think the wild sorcerer is not for you.

That is the first piece of 5E art I don't like. At all.

A more likely arrangement for the first part of the book is this:
Introduction
Abilities
Races
Classes
Backgrounds
Yes, I'm taking that straight out of the 3e and I'm guessing there is an 84% chance they are also.
