Sooooooo, anybody got the actual book yet?

This was particularly cool, all sorts of factions that can be used in play.

I mean, haven't they already...?

WotC already has done so, essentially...?

Be careful what you wish for... It is definitely lampshading that, but it gets weirder, and he does use it as a tool to explore the trauma being "special" puts on people. Exactly this, the influence of piccaresque literature on Jordan is pretty huge. A large part of criticisms of his style do...

I was thinking more the similarities to classic Star Trek and Doctor Who, more generally.

They did change that: not only are not all Abeir-iriginating Dragonborn not necessarily from Tymanther, not all Dragonborn are even from Abeir. The book says there Toril native Dragonborn before the Spellplague that are still around, just they were rare and not terribly well known.

I'm just saying, to the subject of the OP...nothing in the rules dictates that a player option needs to be common in a given Setting.

You could reverse which are common or rare in a given Setting, the rules don't imply anything about it either way. A new Setting made just for 2024 rules could.jave any commonality for any Species option, the rules are agnostic.

But not as commonly as the other options. Ot every option a player has needs to be equally likely in a Setting.

Based on other shows you enjoy, Stargate SG-1 is very possibly your cup of tea.

"Beojg good enough" goes a long way when one already knows the system for most people.

It's like saying that Honey Bunches of Oats has a good deal of fiber but also tastes good or something. But seriously...yes, 5E is laser focused on providing a specific dungeon crawling action experience, but the breezy resolution mechanics of the basic gameplay loop allow for improvising...

To be fair, each of those products does have a good deal of different material going on, are separated by over 5 years between releases (or one metric 3.5 lifespan), and any repeated information is to not penalize someone who hadn't bought a given older product?

Right, but there is no reason they would need to stop being that in a made for 5E Setting. It pure fluff, not necessitated by any rules one way or another.
