[QUOTE="Another Gnome, post: 3975505, member: 58831"] The usage was similar to how people don't say "back-covering text" when they mean text that resides on the back cover. Since we are actually talking about books, I believe the context allows for calling something "margin races" instead of "marginal races" to emphasize how they are pushed to the margin not only figuratively but almost literally... a far more suitable comparison would have been "margin notes" obviously, but I didn't think of that until now. So there. :p Anyway, I don't like gnomes getting pushed aside. I do see them as marginal because of what they are going to be, not because I think they should be, but at least what Rich said about them getting full write-up in '09 is better than nothing. As for the other races I asked about, it was mostly curiosity about the design philosophy, in particular when it comes to the "less is more" approach to subraces and how many old creatures are getting their names being taken by unrelated newcomers.
