D&D (2024) Do you think they will add more races to PHB2024 to make up for dropping other stuff?

I often got the pronunciation of Aasimon mixed up with Asimov, as in the sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov, best known for the Three Laws of Robotics.

Isaac Aasimov, creator of the Three Rules of Angelics.

I remember the demons being called tanar'ri, the devils being called baatezu and the daemons being called yugoloths.

They don't use the word Daemons in 5e, they still use Yugoloths. The word "Daemon" is pronounced exactly the same as "Demon", so it's probably why they don't use that word.

Every time I see this thread title, I think 'how much more do we really need'.

Between MotM, and the updates already potentially added (Goliath, Tiefling?) I mean get the Aasimar in there, and what else is missing? Thats a mountain of options.

Tabaxi, Aarakocra?

I think that and maybe Genasi would be about it for the "mainstream" things you could add.

Part of what makes an edition distinctive though is the edit it applies to the races in the PHB, I'd say.

Also I dunno if you noticed but Tieflings have been in the PHB for 15 years, they're not an "update".

Since to me tieflings are a Planescape race, anything done to them since is an "update".

At some point you have to accept change bro. They've literally been a popular race since 1994. People who were born in 1994 are about to hit 30, and probably have kids of their own at this point.

Those are in MotM, and neither imo need to be core.

Maybe there's a poll I should throw together on that...

I graduated high school in 1994. I'm not under any obligation to accept any later version as superior to what they started with.

If they're going to add more races/species as asked at the beginning of the thread, it should be Aasimar and Goblin (which gets reprinted almost everytime there's a new campaign setting).

They seem set on just Goliaths.
