I'm currently creating my first homebrew for my friends and I, and this has been incredibly helpful in helping to flesh out the world and create interesting recruitable and non-recruitable npcs. The added lore was well written, intruiging, and just open-ended enough wiggle room to experiment with, plus the artwork is amazing. The layout is above average. I can't wait to see how the combat is like once we get our campain running!

As someone who has already released a number of racial supplements, many of which are in this book, this is a solid supplement. The author's takes are unique, while remaining true to existing lore. The layout and formatting are both top notch and to release it for free (PWYW) is icing on the cake.

I was already planning on adding a couple of Centaurs and an Azer as NPC's to the campaign I'm running, so I'm excited to have this guide to help flesh them out. The artwork and layout are above average, and the flavor text for each race is much appreciated. I have not tried any in combat yet, but I can see where they could be easily adjusted.

A solid title. This provides some interesting new race options for DnD. Really love it. Well-written. Well-structured. Beautiful layout of the standard artwork. Not clear on why the title was chosen, but this really does compile some good stuff for the game in 5 e.

To answer, I chose the name to be similar, but not the same as the old splatbooks like Races of Stone, Races of the Wild, Races of Ansalon, etc. I'm glad you're enjoying the content, and thanks for the review!

Very well designed and presented publication with plant of excellent pieces or artwork to compliment the text. The races were all update from previous editions or bersions of D&D. I've always enjoyed the Planescape and Spelljammer Campaign settings so I was really looking forward to trying out the races.

I enjoyed playing some of my favourite creatures, such as A Gnoll, Kuo-Toa, A Neraphim, a Thri-Kreen and The Valkyrie.

This is an excellent collection of races, drawn from a vast array of previous products and masterfully brought in line with 5th edition mechanics. As a DM I would absolutely allow these races in my campaign, and as a player, I find many appealing. As a fellow designer, I must also say: hats off on the Bauriar/Centaur design! EXCELLENT WORK!

I highly recommend this product. WELL worth the suggested price!

Decent PDF. Some of the Large races feel imbalanced (at least for the games that I DM) but nevertheless it is a very well constructed document that I may very well use to create some dynamic NPCs.

Thanks for the review, and if you have any feedback about the saurials after you play them, I'd be happy to hear it. As a fellow fan of dinosaurs, I'm sure you'll appreciate. The Finhead's abilities are based off of paleontologist's outdated ideas about what a dilophosaurus' head crest was for.
