The best resource for species right now is Monsters of the Multiverse, which came out pre-2024, but is easily adapted and mostly balanced.Since 2014, the designers haven't really explored the species design space. It's just not where their interests lay, and as a result when new options are presented, they are under-playtested and rather basic. Even MotM isn't really balanced: there is a substantial range of abilities, with (in my view) 8 of the options significantly overpowered in comparison with PHB species, and 11 of the options at the distinctly weak end (close to orc or tiefling, the two weakest choices in my view in 2024). Last year I did a rough-and-ready tool for assessing species balance, <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/scoring-abilities-of-2024-species-and-looking-back-to-motm.707154/" target="_blank">here</a>, and while individual choices can be questioned, I feel the overall picture holds.Nevertheless, it is trivial for a DM to adapt any of the MotM species for 2024. Good luck!</blockquote>
