[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 4162710, member: 1129"] And part of it may be WoTC dropping adventurers for a while there. Even with Dungeon, some of these races haven't seen a lot of use. While Ecology of articles are a good place to start, actual use of them as enemies, as well as fiction, can be a great way of exposure. One of the reasons why I think drow have maintained their popularity is that despite the Drizzt hate, there are several best seller books with him and the race is a failry easy playable one. This doesn't count the other drow characters we've seen either from RA or from others. Their initial tie to the game is also strong. Dark Elves and elves. War beyond time. Betryal on a godly scale. While the Gith haven't had the books and I don't think they're quite as useable as PCs in 3.5, they've featured in several adventurers, have their own campaign arc, and have always been "cool" with a rich history, impressive naming conventions for their various classes/echolons, and have a build in tie with another popular critter, the mind flayer.
