[QUOTE="Magister Ludorum, post: 7903877, member: 6862253"] I run a Greyhawk game from the folio edition. I allow any race players want to play (although I have a party of mostly humans). I've been running Greyhawk this way since the folio first came out. It has never hurt the Greyhawk feel of the world in the slightest. Humanocentric means that PCs of non-standard races are noticed and may have a harder time with strangers at first, but the people of Greyhawk aren't raging xenophobic klansmen who refuse to have anything to do with more exotic races. (Others are free to do what they want in their home games, of course). Give them time and they accept them as individuals, just as happened with Phoebus the lizardman). Interestingly enough, back in the early 1980s I made references to merchants coming from far to the southwest (SW of Azure Sea and Jeraklea Bay) where civilized lizardfolk lived. These days, I just retcon the references in my notes to dragonborn. I don't make new lands in the Flaenesse for newer races, I just have them come from beyond the continent. If players are okay with that, so am I. I tend to treat each separate Greyhawk Chronicle as a game beginning in 576 CY. I run for a while, then do another chronicle (similar to modern Eberron).
