And you are still not listening to the words that I'm writing. Let me get this straight because it's clearly not worked the first dozen times I've said it. I want the book to neither confirm nor deny the presence of Orcs and other races that were traditionally not a part of Dragonlance. I want the book to focus on explaining the races and monsters that have traditionally existed there (Dwarves, Elves, Draconians, etc), but to ignore the existence of everything else. Just don't mention them. This lets DMs that want to include Orcs and any of the other D&D races they want in the setting but also accommodates the traditional version of the setting. That's it. That's all that I think the book should do. Just ignore the existence of races not normally found in the setting. What I was pushing back against in this thread were the few people that were insisting that WotC not outright stating that Orcs don't exist there somehow makes the setting worse. I don't think it does. I think that the setting purists that are complaining about the newer book not banning certain races are making a molehill and tilting at windmills. That's my position. That's been my position for several dozen pages, or however long this ridiculously overblown tangent has been going on. My position is not and has never been "the new book should add Orcs and Harengon and every other D&D race to the world!". It's "this book shouldn't say anything about whether or not they exist at all".</blockquote>
