And Paizo tries to find ways to address. The Alpha is clearly too much, but apparently, they are even admitting that them self. But they might serve as a nice starting point.Is it necessary? Maybe not. I think using the general "Points of Light" setting as the "implied setting" is a good call. Did I personally need Dragonborn or Tiefling? No. But I am willing to believe that there are enough customers that are actually interested in them. Do I care about Gnomes? Absolutely definitely not. Do I care about dozens of Elven subrace? Yes. Hate them.Do I care about Elves being supposed to be ideal wizards but without any "wizardry" on them, but do also like the Ranger/Woodsy Elven archetype? Absolutely. As a consequence, The Eladrin / Elf split is a great idea to me. I absolutely love it. Okay, the Drow still exist,but maybe that's all what we will see in Elven Subraces. I am fine with that, especially since the Drow at least have a clearly defined "niche".Do I love the more "fairy-tale"/"Western Myth" feel of the implied setting? Yes, absolutely. The Great Wheel Stuff always felt like a high fantasy concept, remote from folklore or fairy tales. Off course, Astral Sea and Elemental Chaos are still remote, but Feywild and Shadowfell feel just right.</blockquote>
