But I'm happy for everyone to have access to their own preferences even if I don't like them as much personally. I can't really think of a race or option that I go so far as to be able to say I hate it. I  made my players hate gnomes. But that's because I used them to screw them  over so many times, every time that they met a gnome they began to tremble! (with both fury and a dose of fear <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )I'd suggest they have the first book released with both common and uncommon races and just order them in different sections.Half-orcs ... they shouldn't be common. Dragon-born, not so common. Tieflings and devas, rare, etc. (or whatever)That way everyone has their cake. Those that don't like those options at least have them defined as rare races, and those bored with halflings, elves and  humans have immediate access to races they are interested in playing right from the initial release.I remember the cry against the absence of bards, druids, barbarians, gnomes and half-orcs when 4e was released. They would be wise to learn from  that.</blockquote>
