Besides Humans Halfelves and Gnomes these are the playable races in my campaign.So no dwarves, no elves. But I got thematic reasons for that. Dwarves and elves are to secluded. Gnomes have been driven out from the forests and halforcs, tieflings and halfelves are mostly results of the ongoing war in my campaign.The party consists of 1 halfelf, 1 gnome and 5 humans. I also did restrict some playable classes. Barbarians are of the shelf, since the my setting is pretty much 17th century techwise except for firearms being not avasilable. Sorcerers also do not exist, but warlocks do. The warlocks have to have a devlish patron in my campaign, no demons allowed. (That also would have applied to tieflings, they must be descendants of nine hells inhabitants if there were any players opting for them)But every playable race has its role and origins and lore, but where would I put dragonborn and drow?I would need a hell of a sub story, or a loads of shoehorning to fit these in. And since it is my version of Greyhawk I decided they do not exist at all and in case of drow, eventually they do exist but if they do then not as a playable race and atm. they do not play any role in my campaign.Still my setting is more true to the official material in my point of view, because I only added elements which I considered important for the story and not because they are available in the 5e PHB.What would be, if wizards had decided not to publish any of the optional races (drow dragonborn etc.) in the PHB but in some later acessoire like e.g. SCAG? Would the people here in the forums who always argue everything in the PHB has to be available in every official campaign world suddenly argue everything in the SCAG has to be part of Greyhawk also if wizards would put out an update? So something featured in one campaign world (sword coast aka FR) becomes canon for all of D&D?</blockquote>
