Look at the Dragonlance book. They only included one race, the kender. I wouldn't be surprised, if Dragonlance proves popular enough, that the irda or thanoi or ursoi eventually get made into playable species, yours for only $1.99 each, exclusively on DDB. And if not Dragonlance, then another setting. Think people would pay $1.99 for the saurial PC race for the Forgotten Realms?Sure, this is speculation... except that they have done this before. The Elemental Evil Player's Companion was free, but now those races are for sale via Mordenkainen's, with just enough modification to render the older free version outdated. And look at the "Domains of Delight" add-on for Witchlight. The money for that went to charity, sure, but how often do they put out books for charity? Once or twice a year. So yeah. This, I feel, is a very logical progression for them. This is what microtransactions are almost certainly going to look like.</blockquote>
