The halflings are bit closer to thier hobbit cousins in Blackmoor than in GH. We also have new halfling subrace called the Docrae. Those of you who saw the December Dragon (#312 I think) got to see the Docare Prestige class we printed up. The Docrae are alot more like GH halfings,but a bit more aggressive. The race was previously enslaved and they have alot of attitude. The other major distinction in Blackmoor is between the elves. We have two major divides in the form of the Cumasti and Westryn. The Cumasti are on par with the High Elves of D&D, yet they have forgotten alot of the old traditions. The Westryn are a more base wood elf (even more base) that are xenophobic and keep close to home. They are deadly warriors and really powerful. The big swing here is that there was once a single Elven race that was torn asunder. That's one plot swing of the campaign. Three major races of humans are in the world. Thonians (Normal Humans), High Thonians (High Men) and the Peshwah (Horse Lords). High Thonians hail from a race of kings that held court in what may be more commonly known as the Valley of the Ancients. That line was thought destroyed in an event called Starfall (the only hint you will hear from me, I will say no more for now). Starfall resulted in a mass of destruction of the region leaving the North leaderless for a while. The High Thonians are generally the Nobles in Blackmoor. For reference, Blackmoor's King, Uther Andahar, is a High Thonian. The Peshwah are a nomadic group that focuses on allegiance to nature and especially horses. They are powerful warriors who are seeking to return to the land from which they were ousted by the evil Afridhi (more on them in another reply).There are indeed variants of dwarves, gnomes,etc. But those aren't detailed in the core book. Specifically relating to tech items available to the characters. There are no listed stats/prices/etc in the book, just a detailed discussion of the technology, how it's used in the world and some examples of who is using it. The first web enhancement will introduce the first of these items. Right now, it's your imagination on how you would want to handle that. We only had 240 pages to get all the stuff we wanted in. We had to make cuts from the book just to fit it all in there. Trust me though, we have alot in store in this area. I think that covers most of the questions that Kanegrundar had. (I hope). <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=":)" />Dustin</blockquote>
