I didn't put in the Eberron or Ravnica guidebook player's races 'cause I don't own those books in 5E, so I'll probably only cover them later on. Because I kind of consider them to more or less be 'core' because all of the games I've been in feature these races heavily, we'll cover them more here. I understand why the basic Player's Handbook, it wants to make things as simple as possible without learning a lot of new words, just having a bunch of basic fantasy races, plus two outliers (dragonborn and tiefling) to not overwhelm anyone picking up D&D for the first time. And honestly, I've seen so many of these not-quite-classic-to-European-myth races show up in 5th Edition D&D campaigns, both ones I've participated in as well as ones I see online or whatever, that I completely forget that races like the Goliath and Aasimar aren't actually part of the 'basic' recommended core races. So in this segment of Reviewing D&D Monsters, I'm going to talk not just about the Appendix of the Monster Manual, but also a bunch of player races that are not included in either the Player's Handbook or the Monster Manual, but are elaborated on in-depth in Volo's Guide to Monsters and the Elemental Evil Player's Companion. I have a lot of words written up for the monsters in Volo's and Mordekainen's, but I kind of want to take a brief step back from D&D for the next couple of months or so.
Happy new year to you all! This will actually be one of my last "Reviewing D&D Monsters" segment for a while.
