If they all want to play "monster" races ... the campaign could go that direction. At this point, it would be possible to build a "Horde" party, you don't have a troll, but you have orcs, goblins, minotaur, eladrin and revenant, etc... you can even fluff in some other options (half-orcs, elves, half-elves, gnolls, etc). Whether a race is monstrous or not depends on the setting. Heck, if the king is an elf, in an elven kingdom, humans may be monstrous while Minotaurs are welcome allies if there happens to be a human/elven war going on. As for new "Heroes of X" books: Heroes of Chaos Elemental power source, primordial, and demonic ties, etc Astral Heroes Divine support, both angelic and diabolic ties, etc Abberant Heroes Psionic support, ties to the far realm and abberants, etc Anti-Heroes of the Forgotten Lands More of a connection to the core world setting, with a leaning towards monster races.</blockquote>
