[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7804963, member: 22779"] Well, the best reason is that Dragonborn are one of the more popular PC races (outside of the big three, human, elf dwarf) that players want to play. If you want to sell your setting, cutting out the most popular races without adding other ones (as is done in Ravnica) isn't exactly the best idea. Good grief, for a fandom that prides itself on creativity, folks are awfully uncreative. Just off the top of my head - Dragonborn Sources: 1. Amedio Jungle - Dragonborn were nearly wiped out by the Olman expansion but managed to survive in pockets here and there. 2. Hool Marsh - Dragonborn are simply misidentified lizard folk. 3. Scarlet Brotherhood breeding program - The SB's were trying to breed an army of super soldiers on one of the southern islands - Flotsam/Jetsam for example - and the population has recently rebelled, throwing off the SB yoke and are now trying to carve a place out for themselves in the setting. 4. The Dim Forest is barely detailed other than being full of monsters. Makes a pretty easy place to add in a Dragonborn homeland. Or, heck, most of the Lost Lands work as well. That's 4 just off the top of my head that would work perfectly fine. Why do people insist that anything added to the setting needs to completely shake things up? It's easy to add stuff to Greyhawk. That's the appeal of the setting. There are so many blank areas that adding something like a new PC race is ridiculously easy. It's frankly rather baffling that people seem to think it's so complicated or difficult. [/QUOTE]
