[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8692355, member: 6915329"] [I]Not [/I]including sub-races, there are 50 or so official races. There are countless 3pp and homebrew races.

First, 400,000 people is not "virtually no one." Secondly, how much space is actually spent in those supplements "throwing them a bone" that you desperately need to reclaim? And if nobody cares about these supplements, then why do you care that there are halflings or gnomes in them? Halflings have two different dragonmarks [I]and [/I]a bunch of dino-riders [I]and [/I]organized crime. Warforged don't actually have all that much going on for them in the wider world.
