I honestly don't understand the aversion to 'contemporary fantasy races' when Inno already added Griffons, Dragons, Harpies, Arachne, Lamia, and she's even adding a kitsune race - that should have been added years ago but hey what's new with that?
also, i dont know what she considers the word 'contemporary' to mean, but applying that to elves, fairies, fey, etcetera is just so wrong it borders ignorance; those things have been around in human myths, legends, and stories since people first began thinking beyond themselves. Elves have been around since, in the very least, the old Norse mythos was created. Goblins have been in literally every mythos in one form or another. Fairies, pixies, fey have been around for thousands of years. what part of that is 'contemporary'?
