[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7906380, member: 23751"] The addition of a new race, regardless of the method, is world/setting altering. The Dragonborn are a race that is both populous and capable of producing many level 20+ PC class PCs and NPCs or the equivalent power NPCs(depending on the method you use to make NPCs). If they had been running around loose in the world the entire time, they would have been known about and been present in Greyhawk and other cities/countries for entire 40 years it has been a published setting. There are three choices I can see that result from Dragonborn entering the setting. 1) you retcon that they were around the entire time, but SOMEHOW no player or DM knew it while they were adventuring and creating adventures in Greyhawk. Not a good solution. 2) you just ignore that they popped in and don't bother to explain it. Probably the best of the bad solutions. 3) You have a world altering event, like they were imprisoned magically as a race for 10 bazillion years and just got released, came from another world en masse, or some other way, which is the most setting destructive method.
