That's probably because most people like to play humans, not only because they are good mechanically, but also for empathy - for the lack of a better word.But on the other hand Eberron did have a lot of space to play as different races. Goblinoids had their own empire and, even if it has fallen, one important country was basically remincescent of the old empire - you could have a party adventuring there, originating from there, etc.Eberron had a lot of places for unusual parties and/or campaigns, from the top of mi mind:* Unding Elves* Xen'Drik, with tribal Drows * Sarlona, with psionics, Kalashtar (the psionic race) and others more exotic* the Mournland could easily make for an Warforged-only campaignNot to mention the importance of the Dragonmarked Houses. Yeah, most of them were human, but we had a fair share of others in interesting roles: Sivis gnomes with comunication and transport, Kundarak dwarves with banking, Tharashk with detective half-orcs...Even though humans had a lot of space, most other races had a fair share of the spotlight IMHO. Heck, even half-orcs who were "sons of rape" in basic 3.5e had a better place in the world. Most of all, those things that seem prety puch like a collection of weired stuff really had a background, a reason to be there, history and lore that made them credible and interesting... Did I say that I miss Eberron <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />?</blockquote>
