[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7791338, member: 6716779"] Depends on the setting. Krynn and Darksun don't have a lot if phb races back when they were around. Greyhawk was Humanocentric so was Ravenloft. If you're cutting races to fit new ones in kind of implies all races don't have to be there. The main reason more than a few people are recommending the 1983 set is. 1. It's good/bare boned. 2. Avoids a lot of the metaplot that plagues old campaign settings. They can add bits and pieces into it, Vecna for example but it also makes things easier for new players. Even 4E Darksun had the sense to ignore a lot of 2E metaplot. TSR literally blew up every world they had with realms shaking events or the equivalent. Greyhawk Wars, Grand Conjunction, Prism Pentad, second cataclysm, second inhuman war etc. We already have FR kitchen sink, Mearls gets GH though from the sounds of it. I expect some new stuff,I don't think they'll go to overboard maybe add Dragonborn is about as exotic as I expect just to cover the phb, Drow already exist, Tieflings make sense based on old lore, Dragonborn not so much one way or another.
