[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7800644, member: 6895991"] Yes, you are right of course, and I would not have problems to integrate drow into my "homebrew" greyhawk. But if I would decide that they play some part of the story arc, and if I would integrate them as somehow being playable then they would come along as half-drow. My players like it human centric and all those "half-races" I use currently have reason to have grown up in human society being victims and refugees of the war between Iuz orc hordes and the free people, which is the main overarcing plot for my campaign. Still I would not integrate dragonborn. There is no reason they should exist in my campaign, they play no role at all, and if they would exist I would have to shoehorn something like they come from Oeths moon or the other side of the world or such, and I do not want that. I use mainly 2e material which I already have to convert, but even if wizard would bring out new stuff which I would decide to use I would leave them out, because it is less work for me. A demonic tiefling might be original saltmarsh and does exist but demonic descendants are on the wrong side for my campaign. They would support the enemy (Iuz) by nature. So PC tieflings have to be halfdevils in my campaign. A halforc can pass as an ugly human also a tiefling eventually. A drow or a dragonborn needs work to explain, why it is not attacked on sight, because normal folks just would see a monster. Greyhawk (my homevbrew but also the original) is gritty, it is no fair place with modern principles of equality. Prejustice is the rule not the exception. FR used to be a bit like Greyhawk also. If you read the Drizzt books, he had trouble with people reacting hostile until he was famous for doing good. This is what Eberron does differently, monstrous races are accepted almost everywhere in civilization. This is what some people intermingle all the time. The basic feeling of a setting precludes some of the more extravagant races for many settings, because it would require to create preconditions which do per default not exist in many of these settings.
