But that could still be addressed in a fey book, if the authors had a mind to -- maybe there are fey-type goblins who call themselves "true goblins" and seek to hunt and kill the debased mortal versions who insist they're the real goblins.My concern is that a fey book would be too "twee," to use a Britishism. 1E fey were horrible for this and I found the more recent WotC Web site series suffered from that too often. While it's nice to incorporate things like the Faerie Queen and A Midsummer Night's Dream, fey should be more scary than cute. Fortunately, the last few monster books have really gone this direction, with even the swarm of tiny cute fey being a pretty troublesome bunch.</blockquote>
